    It is daft, because they work when you do them on the "reply" bit, but they disappear once you press "submit" and on the main board!

    Bah!!!!!!!!!

    anyway, all mystery shops finally submitted. Today I managed to get, courtesy of mystery shopping.......

    .......2 packs of styluses (stylii??) for the kids DSs.
    ........lunch - a toasted sandwich and a coffee
    ........a coffee and a flapjack thing

    plus, with my 2 £5 Boots No 7 vouchers, I bought two fab nail varnishes as a treat for me and DD which cost the grand sum of £2.50. I can't remember the last time I bought nail varnish.....oh the indulgence!!

    So, all in all not a bad haul on the cheap!

    Sorry to hear that you are tired .That seems like a good haul for the day.
    The NI contributions Class 2 are collected by DD the Class 4 are collected along with your Tax payments in jan/july.
    The class 2 ones you need for any S/E work.....these are the ones that cost about £10..£11 per month.
    hope this helps.

    Hi shaun...yuck to the sour sweet and how nice that you like your MIL as most men don't..xx
  • He he! I thought the sour sweet was quite funny!

    I've been paintballing today at the NRG place new Clacket Lane in Kent!

    Wicked! I'm covered in bruises including a HUGE one on my backside! That one hurt like hell but alas, was a wicked day!

    I was far too Gung-ho to be any use! But I got to use flash bang and smoke grenades which is cool for any man/boy/child!

    And all for £30 today! very bargainous!

    Walshyboy - I hope you are not too sore this morning.......

    Up early to take the kids racing - I could do with the lay in but not to be, obviously. MSE wise we will try and spend as little as possible, so sarnies are made and a flask will follow in due course.

    Have a good Sunday everyone x

    hi
    someone else in my world.. you been up with the children all night hypno!!!!!!!!
    F.G.S. woman its SUNDAY
    could you not have had a little lie in..
    hay welshboy did paint balling years ago before the legs went ,have to agree great fun just like being in a gang when small and running around the estate going rat a tat tat
    except of course without the pain!!
    mil.......what can i say she's brill same hummer as her daughter,has good English ,
    think a lot of her attitude has to do with being brought up under the repression of a Russian state.
    i find most of the elder people over 40 from eastern Europe have embraced their independence from the russians and assention to the eu as the start of a new live and have'ent got time for pettiness ,the really do deliver a life is for living message,

    on the home front
    managed to walk es to school and back 7 times last week (17.5miles) had to use the car thur and fri as the pain was to much its about 1.25 miles each way and takes me 30 mins each way.
    very hard work aiming for a full week 25 miles,,
    actually now ive written it down thats quite a distance no wounder im in pain all the time.
    going drs tomorrow to try out new pain relief again. can only hope!

    going Lithuania in 3wks for a week have to get tiles and bathroom and kitchen suites picked out as builders going in on the 14th of oct for 6 wks to modernise the apartment ready for Xmas holls.
    also need to sell land in the city 1 acre, as at current prices this will get us a plot of land outside the city and build the house shell, (not including electrics,gas, plaster,floors or fittings)
    need to arrange help for oh as shes not going to get much of a rest that week,,
    thats my ramble over..elvin been sleep for an hr .1 load of washing finished and es fed and washed.
    going to feed myself now
    have a good day you all!!!!

    Hello all! The only soreness I have if from the muscles being exercised all day! I used my hiking boots which I haven't used since I went to Ecuador about 4 years ago and forgot you can't really run in them! then got shot to pieces!

    It's all about finding a less expensive laser quest now!

    I'm off to the folks today, it's one of my cousins birthdays and thank god for the lovely weather! I shall do the rest of the washing hopefully and be happy in the thought of having no other housework to do until Wednesday, whe I go to Madrid for the long weekend! :j
