Have a lovely weekend Sammy,
We'll miss you! *sniff*
I'm working today and then a night in with DH, a takeaway and a DVD-a wee bit of vino for moi and a few beerios for him!
Then we'll see what happens...Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
I'm working today too but its my last day before my holidays. Not going anywhere just staying at home but it will be good to have a wee break.
I'm going to the cinema tonight prob to see Hellboy 2. Cause I have an unlimited cinema card it means that I don't have to pay per film so I go to see loads at the cinemaJan 1st 07 Car loan £4830.46@12% Personal Loan £11,517@8% variable Overdraft £1500 July 2009Halifax-£0Debt free date 14th July 2009 :j0 -

Morning Bunny, Sammy and betti:j
In my house after a takeaway, beer and DVD I would know exactly what happens next......OH falls asleep snoring on the sofa:rolleyes: and I would be chatting on the party thread:rotfl:
Had an email from my boss last night to say that she is having a days holiday today to I guess that means no news about the new job that is supposed to start on Monday :mad:
Things to be grateful for today
Its Friday:j
Its Payday:D
My family have still not succeeded in their quest to drive me insane:rolleyes:
Have a good day everyoneBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Morning Lou and Betti!
Betti, I am interested in these unlimited cinema things-where did you get it from and how much is it???
I can't get the TV to work and the kids are doing my head in....lolEmpty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0 -
Morning All
Sounds like everyone is busy busy busy today. Bunny know what you mean about kids driving you mad..my DD is constantly wanting me to do stuff and im trying to get on with housework/MSE/housework lol. We are off to see an old friend today, she is 7 months pregnant after having to go through IVF so am so excited for her. Its the 1.5 hours on the bus to get there im no so excited about
Sammy I never get past tuesday in the fly lady... have a lovely weekendI'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
Finally Debt Free...0 -
I NEED TO VENT!!!!!
I am having a wobbly moment. I have lost DD1's car keys and so far she has thrown a strop over DD2 pinching make up brush and me losing keys... okay she then strops out of house saying I will walk, and I think fine, then she rings and says please take me....i still don't give in, now she has got her boss to pick her up and i feel like a mean mum...I know, I know!
But I have also lost my debit card this week and A&L have to cancel both mine and OH's cards...he is in Manchester with no card and I am here with no card.....so I have had to run round all week trying to get cash out of the bank (No A&L in this stupid town!) and get car MOT'd - cash no problem, car insured - no debit card so no can do and no tax cos no insurance......
OH wants me to drive to scouseland tonight (cos he is a big stupid baby) so I have to run home from work get ready and spend FOUR hours on the M6 cos everyone goes up north on Friday! instead of me getting ready tonight and going up in the morning. alternative however, is to stay here with stroppy DD1.
AND boss put my charge out rate up again yesterday at work, which just means for my clients to get value for money I just have to work even quicker so feel under immense pressure there.
Just feeling quite stressed at the minute.Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Good morning
this week has flown by and I can't believe it's Friday already - where does time go
I'll be finishing clearing out the spare bedroom this weekend so that the plasterers can come in, gut and replaster what will become LB's bedroom.
Louise - yes it's payday which is great but it being friday means that my week's holiday is almost over

You buy them from Cineworld cinemas but can only use them there. Outside of London they cost £11.99 a month (minimum term a year I believe). I live in Glasgow where we have one of the biggest cineworld cinemas and my boyfriend, my sister, my friends and I go all the time (not all together, that would be strange)

Just had a red bull....(nearly put some wine with it!) its not like I feel like I have had a crap week - I think I just deal with things almost like on automatic pilot but then I get tired and lose the plot at the stupidest things, but I do think my lot take advantage and think I am at their beck and call....Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford
