you're being so nice you make me feel "tired and emotional" 
Popeye would like to see me. And that's it.
If he were here:- he'd write decent descriptions of his stuff/know the value and I could list them on e-bay feeling more secure that the listing was accurate & fair.
- He'd work in the garden, and he'd get that flippin' strimmer working
- We'd put on weight -but he has NEVER implied that he finds me any the less attractive. (probably afraid I'd squash him :rotfl: )
- We'd spend FAR more, Last night I put £30 worth of purchases back on the shelf in Boots:D if he'd been there he'd have encouraged me.
- And the bookshelves in the hall would be finished..........or maybe not

- me [STRIKE]looking like Nicole Kidman[/STRIKE]
- that bluddy play written
Writing it is. Popeye cares less about the debt than me anyway. 0 -
Day 49
And I have reasons to be happy:- Found my bracelet which I thought I'd lost. It was on Popeyes bedside table which I cleared of rubbish

- I am now on Silver Status with one of the airlines frequent flyer programs
This qualifies me for 10kg extra luggage and use of a lounge, and best of all, a speedy check-in. 
- Booked my days off work, and they don't inconvenience anyone, and now the countdown begins :j
- I've booked my jab
tomorrow I get my yellow fever
(this IS good news, I can't fly within Africa without it) - Found and booked a mystery shop - there's been a dearth in our area
- Booked Popeye's surprise trip for his birthday. I'm so excited, I'm going to struggle to keep it secret

Hiya
Rhubarb re car and mouse poo. (NB buy disinfectant on way home from work just in case)
Yes, I am going to the meet but can't find the thread anymore - there were some postings on the daily thread but nothing precise.
Writing wise - could you just not publish this thread?
I'll never see you on Richard & Judy now! (MSe ers don't have pay for tv)0 -
Hope yellow fever hasn't kicked in and you are ok after jabs.xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
Oh I have been such a good girl
(where is the smilie with a halo - I so need it
)
[strike]
[[strike]STRIKE]I've not spent anything[/strike] oops
I've spent £60 on my Yellow Fever jab :eek: :eek: but I feel fine. 
But that may be down to the large gin and tonic DD has made me
The job I planned to spend Saturday doing I did this evening when I got back from the doctors. I emptied the sitting room, cleared everything of any mouse evidence. Bob you're right -they Wee :eek: Fortunately we have a hard floor and I've Star-Clens-ed it
I'm absolutely cream crackered 
And I've booked to do a Boot Fair on Sunday
At 7am :eek: with my Sis 
DD is cooking supper. (didn't want my defrosted casserole
that'll do tomorrow)
And I'm about to Skype Popeye :happylove0 -

I think the beer is the lure.....the cricket is just the cherry on top.

I looked at sending "real ale" out there. It was Way too expensive, so that ensures he'll come home occasionally.
