    I've just had to google Who Shop

    As it was in Upton Park, I was thinking it might have been West Ham Outlet!:rotfl:

    Never realised there was a Dr Who museum, it's gone on my list of things to do...... It's a very long list!

    I also started a provisional bucket list, but there's enough on there for two lifetimes:cool:

    Oh dear, it appears after 4 years I still can't mutil quote :rotfl:

    Hi yukkibear hope all is well with you :D

    Hi goldiegirl, it's worth a trip if you are nearby, but the museum is one room in the back of the shop ;) hope the list is going well, I've finished writing mine but dd says lots of it is a bit " lame" :rotfl: so might change a few of the lazy ideas I put down just to get to 40!

    Could you do a provisional list of a few bigger things and lots of little things to do and then try and achieve it in a year or two and then start again? Putting down everything at once might be a bit overwhelming (not to mention expensive when it involves lots of travel like I want mine to?)

    Hi alchem , Best of luck cleaning yours up :)

    I had a really lovely day yesterday, went to the country park with two friends and their 3 little boys and then back to mine for lunch and the boys went in the hot tub and then played on the Wii with my 14 year old ds2 who was fantastic with them , followed by a nice swim at the gym, a proper happy summers day outside :D

    Today was supposed to be long lie in day , the first opportunity in ages but dd has just rung me by accident from work, so it's up early to start the ironing In a minute, I shall get my revenge another day :p

    No much to report financially, spent about £20 on lunch yesterday and about £30 on oyster top ups and museum entrance on weds, I'm out tonight round my friends house who is feeding us ( the ones who came yesterday) so I will just take wine.

    The cupboards are full , but with beans/pulses casserole mixes from Af , I should spend a bit of time cooking and used some up really, I might take a look in my 'a girl called jack" cookbook, there are tons of super cheap ideas.

    I could never understand multiquote NG. Click on icon with 2 speech bubbles on posts you want to quote, on last one clock quote on that post.
    So if you were quoting 2, speech bubbles on first and 'quote' on 2nd.
