  • Me again,

    Well done Pixie!!!! What a lovely amount of money to treat yourself with :)
    Kaat, I'm glad Archie's come home safe again.
    Mr B-E, has your mother eaten the WHOLE cake in one go????!!!!

    Been to my mate's in Kent for the afternoon, to escape oldest DD who is being very horrible (I know she is grieving for her friend, but she is being very nice & considerate to everyone else in the world, & treating me like something on the bottom of her shoe....). So not long been home.

    Here is my facebook link too for those who would like it!

    :hello:
    Here at last, today has been one of those :eek: days, we have been in and out all day long, had to start early, as Severn Trent were coming between 1pm and 8pm (can you believe) to fit the water meter.
    So up early stripped bed and got that lot in WM, put DW on then went to Mr M`s to do shopping for mum, MIL and some for us, we were there for 9:30 so it was`nt too crowded, back home unpacked and put frozen stuff for MIL in freezer, quick cuppa, out again to Bank ,B.Soc, Wilkinsons and Poundland, back home again, by this time it was 12:45.
    Sorted everything out had lunch, emptied WM and DW, Hung washing out Severn Trent came at 2:15 and were finished at 4:20. :T
    Soooo OH said do you want to go out :eek: I gave in gracefully and said if you like:rolleyes: So off we went to the trade place to look at TV`s, and bought a new one for the kitchen, he is currently setting it up (all I will say is the air is blue);)
    He only bought it because the old one is kn*****d

    I am off to read back now see you all in a bit

    HI everyone,

    I have been reading the thread and seen that lots of you are on Facebook. Anyone mind if I join in, and if so, can someone tell me how to do it - I am to technology what Johnny Depp is to knitting :D
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D

    just texted squishy and she thought i was joking! she couldnt believe it:D

    Can you blame me? I was in shock! Its soooooooo cool though - your brother and I are so pleased for you! Congratulations from us both again :j

    Life going on as normal here - no change there. Had a great day out with princess pixiedust and my 3 nephews yesterday - got soaked but it was worth it :D

    Just finished dinner - all stuff that was sitting in the freezer so very moneysaving there :) WM just about to go on, then I think a cuppa might be in order.

    Lots of *hugs* to all, take or leave as you please...
  • Lol Charlies-Mum,

    I'm no expert (in fact I can't even work out how to add more photos - they don't seem to be going on there :( )

    but if you go to www.facebook.com & click a button (somewhere!) that says Register or Create Profile, that should get you started.... I hope.
