Now I do realise that lots of you will be in Leeds, at least one us will be at a posh wedding :j (pimms and nibbles on the lawn whilst having pictures taken - IN THE TORNADO) and many more of have better things to do but here is the weekend list!


WEEKEND LIST

This is optional so don't feel bad if you want the weekend 'off'.. these are purely ideas for those who haven't completed their lists all week or who cannot function without order to their life!!
HHI
Sort school things and work things for Monday
Clear out the messiest cupboard in the house
work a neglected room to level 3
15 minutes clearing a hotspot
15 minutes filing
fill a bag for charity shop
Change any bedding that didn't get done during the week
Phone someone just to tell them you love them.. because we never do it enough (IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING THIS WEEKEND DO THIS ONE!)
Muck out your main handbag!! - and this includes the man bags all you men out there

Hope you all are well and fit

    Yes, I'll be at Leeds today - I live here but it will be nice to meet a few people. Enjoy the wedding (in a tornado)...

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    I'll be there. I'll set off at 12 (using Wayne's buss pass - how MSE is that?) so should be in Leeds city centre by... 12.25 at the latest!! Going to do some Chrimbo Window shopping (TK Maxx, the Pier and a few other places for ideas - though I'll have some cash to buy things if I think they're perfect).

    I'll probably stay at the pub with MSE till 5.30 / 6pm ish - then going to a birthday party tonight with a crowd of p i s s heads - and I'll be the only sober one:o.

    See ya later. Cat.xx

  • I'm really hoping to set off here around half 12-have a wedding makeup to do first, then the drive up-which will be about 2.5 hours-so realistically won't be there until near enough 4...but I'll still get to meet you!

  • morning !

    Guess what - I woke up - and Leeds was outside my window!! :j

    Got here at 11 - bit of loony taxi driver though:eek:

    I am mega impressed with the hotel. It's a great sized room for a single, nice sized bathroom, flat screen TV and oh, my god, what an oinky I was at breakfast!! I had cereal, tea and juice, then a full english with toast.

    There are also pastries, sliced fresh fruits for fruit salad, more fruit, yoghurts and about 6 types of juice - couldn't quite manage any more though!

    I was very naughty - the jam is the posh little glass jars and ahem...a couple have come with me back to the room - well, I don't have any jam at home! :rotfl:

    There was even a complimentary paper outside my door this morning.

    They've joined together my 2 separate bookings (I 'fiddled' a deal to get the room cheap twice) this morning, didn't bat an eyelid.

    Can't believe what I've got for £17 - what a bargain!!!

    I've got the morning to kill so thought I'd splash out on a days worth of wifi connection - £10. Not cheap but worth it.

  • just been catching up with last night's thread.

    NAGH - whilst I was on the train I thought - oooh I will get to meet you!!

    I know exactly where you are coming from - it's the reason I missed the Birmingham meet, I just wasn't in the right place in my head but regretted it as I realised afterwards how much fun I would have had.

    So...........purrrllleeasse??

    Morning all!! Very tired today. Going to sit in front of Soccer Saturday before work tonight.

    That's the extent of my plans!
