    is it me or are the songs on eurovision tonight much better than normal?? :o:o:o

    it's you!:D I saw some of it at mates and thought a lot of them seemed really similar so if you liked one of them you'd like them all...

    P.S. what was the strange water dancing thing I caught the end of????

    Morning :D I decided last night to leave the ebay stuff for now as I wont be here next week to post it off, so will have to wait a while.

    Ds is coming back today :j I've really missed him this weekend for some reason, I've struggled to get on with anything and am hoping to find some motivation from somewhere today :rolleyes:

    20p on the scratchcards this morning, hopefully will reach payout by next weekend ;)

    it is weird, some weekends seem much longer than others without them. Once he's back through the door asking a million questions a minute you'll be back to normal!

    Sorry guys, its been another of those mad weeks already :o Well, the mortgage payment was made tonight, so everythings ready now for the new mortgage to kick in on June 3rd :j :j I have miscalculated slightly, but it just means once I'm back on top of the accounts again I will need to do some serious matched betting, but I have 6 weeks off in the summer so should be able to recoup some then :D

    I saw ds teacher tonight and she commented on how he's like a different child ... since xmas ... his behaviour is great at school now. At first I was really pleased but then I got a bit angry because I had no idea of this, they haven't commented on that at all :rolleyes: He has a book that goes between home and school and it only ever has negative comments in it :mad: Anyway, I went and spoke to the senco lady there and she's going to feed back about it ;) I was annoyed because they know he's going to and from hospital appointments and so it would have been nice to have been told he was improving :rolleyes:

    Well 3 days till we go to Devon and my washing machine has given up. One of the metal prongs on the plug has kinda melted :eek: so I'm off to the launderette tomorrow after school to get everything done before we go away, it was going to be chaotic enough as it was without that :rolleyes: :o

    Mum popped in tonight with a goody box to take with us, full of sweets / boscuits / sachets of coffee etc and a tenner in it :D:D I really must get round to packing soon :D
