I'm really quite excited.

I have teenagers like that...my DD1 is so sharp she could cut glass! I am always in the wrong according to her when we argue, but then again..i always said i let her win sometimes for the sake of harmony, so if i am big enough to do it then she should know when to back off with me!
That way i sneakily always win..I think!:o

Have a good time tonight..not that we are jealous or anything:rolleyes:

I think I've bottled out of going




Here are my reasons:

1. chap who can get me tickets says not backstage, on the grass. It is an open air concert. He says I'll [STRIKE]get in the way [/STRIKE] be a distraction.
2. Picnic required, and I'll feel a wally sitting with all those posh hampers on my own.
3. It's an hours drive each way, and when I popped out earlier the motorway was at a standstill and I thought of leaving a concert venue with hundreds of other cars.....:o
4. I have to get up early for a boot fair.

Basically, I'm doing what I usually do. Staying in.
I know I'm lazy and I'll regret it but I don't want to do it on my own.

So before I go I must:

• hang out my bedding to dry, and possibly a couple more loads. bedding about to be brought in & ironed
• get some stuff into the loft, and some crates down. severely cream crackered, hall littered with stuff to sort.
• Pack Boot fair stuff into crates to go into Sis's car tomorrow. will shortly begin this
• List some more pf Popeyes [strike]carp[/strike] treasure on e-bay so that [strike]other sad anoraks [/strike]discerning buyers can spend their bank holiday buying them. have managed only 3 things - there's a problem with their picture loading, it's not just me apparently
• Get a few bits in town done & collected a clothes rail from a freecycler for tomorrow:T
• Google directions for tonight ho hum
• Lounge in a scented bath, beautifying myself :rotfl: :rotfl:am feeling quite down about my wussiness, so will still do this.

My friend has offered to record the evening, but I feel shabby for nearly going, and then backing out And I feel a bit down for choosing to stay in again. I get so I go out less and less, and now don't actually want to go out. I'm so very middle aged tonight.:sad:

And the rain continues :mad: The car is loaded and we gave up on the 7am boot fair, will consider another one at 11am, or even another one tomorrow :mad:

Hi Olive - you can't do a boot fair in the pouring rain - the debts aren't *that* bad.... and if you had to take a picnic and be on your own - then absolutely, I'd have bottled it. We're with you, honey. I understand about the not *wanting* to go out too, tho I started it long before I was middle aged (and I've only just admitted to being middle aged!).

My sis left her couple of boxes here, I said I'd either Boot them or take them to the charity shop.

I've listed the books on Amazon :rotfl:

The August BH rain continues. I don't however wish to bring the stuff back into the house. Worse still shove it in the loft.

No wonder Mooloos customers leave their stuff in her doorway; almost anything to get rid of it.
