(D'you know when I was a kid I'd go into town with my ma on a sat morning and there were ladies shopping, hair in curlers, covered in headscarves, ready for getting ready to go out saturday night!)

I see that now, only its young girls and they don't bother with the scarves and they're usually in their pyjamas with a face full of makeup :rolleyes:

we don't actually eat it on the days it says each week, just plan that over the week we eat those meals. also we don't always do take away or eat out but usually i've worked late and DH has helped himself etc one night or we go to his parents or something so it works out fine!

I once was asked by a young client to take her to the supermarket, she then went upstairs to put on her 'going out pj's'. :eek:

No luck on the tombola but someone won £500 worth of vouchers :eek: But I had a bargain day today instead

• 10m x 1.5m red material for making curtains for doors & kitchen - £5 :j
• Slipper socks for DD - £1
• Wrap top (plum & cream in colour, even better though - Size 16 and it fits me ) - £3
• Flower print top for DD - £2.25
• Winter dressing-gown for DD - £3
• Long hooded cable knit cardigan with belt for DD - £8 (its down to her knees and buttons all the way to the bottom and sized 8-9 so should hopefully so her next autumn if not winter as well )
• Plum smart jacket - £7
• Plum smart skirt - £5
• Victorian style black heeled shoes (Smart ones) - £5 (down from £25 )
• 8 x bracelets - £7 (but soooo lovely and they fit, I have major problems getting most "fashion" ones to go over my hand so I decided I was getting them no matter how much as they fitted me and will work for both smart or casual dress )

I also spied the curtains I want for the living room (thick and red to match the material I got today) and also some material to make curtains for upstairs. So I plan on going back tomorrow while DD is out with ex and grabbing them Yes it will cost me £3 in bus fare, but it will be worth it as the curtains are RRP £50+ and they're just £15

DD hoovered the kitchen & the living room for me this evening after tea while I tidied up and sorted stuff out upstairs. She even "made" tea - micro-chips again :rolleyes: We're having a "proper" meal tomorrow though - sweet & sour turkey with boiled rice and extra veg mixed in I think she was trying to make up for the irritating mood she was in today, she was trying to be helpful but just drove me mad instead with her constant picking things up to show me

Best head to bed. Ex is coming for 10am apparently and since I only had 4 hours sleep last night I best head off now otherwise we won't be up and DD needs a bath in the morning (too stroppy tonight to have one but needs one tomorrow anyway). *yawn* Catch you tomorrow afternoon/evening (I'm not putting the computer on until I've been to town for those curtains and material ) :wave:

Froddington – I never meant to rejoin the club believe me!!! I’d much rather have not had to repay my subs! Oh well, guess we ought to have some perks to this club so, as self appointed president, I’m giving all members the weekend off!!

Brilliant! You have my vote as president Have done a bit of flying today, but won't get anything done tomorrow as I'm off to Wembley :T

Now I can go without feeling guilty!!

God - thats worse than FreeCycle

LMAO (cos I know what that means now) I LOL at that - I hate Freecycle - I only post to give! Soooooo many messages! At least it's on a different system (yahoo) to my home email so I only get em when I want to - every so often I delete the lot - but I am always puzzled by the fact that some offered stuff is collected in the same e mail. Good job I don't really care.

Hope your prob is sorted Soappie - I would just block the sender (assuming I could)

Now I know who's getting my share;) Maybe MiL was showing off!

Tootti - they are not nasty nor are they your normal phishing/viagra type spam email. They are purporting to be from the Chairman of the organisation my email address is very close to. I have saved a sample of them (the sample I've read all say the same thing, the sample I've read all come from the same 'mail error' handler address, they just have different send-to email addresses and I'm not sure they are even being sent to those email addresses they are just being sent as though they were bounced back if you see what I mean). I will get in touch with the organisation on Monday and have a chat with them about it.... I might even get the press involved

Ooh Soappie you might be outed! Don't worry - your secret MSE identity is safe with me!:D

Greenbee - I'm certain it's not a virus thing. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's some sort of Denial of Service attack (in my original posting whilst frantically deleting, I said DNS, I meant DoS).

The email address it's all arriving at is one I have never used to send an email with and one that doesn't appear on my website (so it couldn't have been harvested from there) and one that returns zero results if you google it. But, one that is valid and that, intuitively, could be used if someone took an vaguely educated guess when sending something to a generic/standard email address (e.g. webmaster@somewhere - though it's not that!).

Thanks for the suggestion of the techy board - I'll pop over there now and ask...

***wanders off in search of anaesthetic (soave, possibly, cos I daren't blow the child benefit on chablis) because I'm in w -a-a-a - y over my head here!)and I am supposed to know about ICT for work! Aaargh:eek: ***

Rallies:o

Hope you get some support Soappie. If you can ever explain this (ie as if you were explaining offside rule in football or anything, at all, to do with cricket) please enlighten me!
