    I bet, holidays are so exciting. I would have cried!

    We went to London instead and stayed in a fancy hotel. It did help!!!

    We do ramble a bit, even I get lost if I miss a day and I'm a regular! (ooh, like a pub!)

    Just done some shopping... spent £20. Bought a door stop, journal and a jug to use as a vase for the daffodils in my garden I'm dying to pick. Now I'm kicking myself and thinking 'That could of been £20 to the Pashley!' Ho-hum

    *Slaps Cinny's wrist* Bad girl! Just hope that you can talk them into knocking £20 off the bike if you explain why you're short! ;)

    I hate missing a day -or even an afternoon sometimes!- it takes so long to catch up and I think, 'ooh, I would have liked to talk about that but it's too late now!'.
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I'm taking my Dad when I go and buy it - his haggling skills make Martin look like a wannabe :money: I guess I could pipe up 'Knock £5 off, I had to buy a vase!' :D

    Not only do you feel like you've missed out on convo, but you ended up with an oversized tampon as your DOTD (that was Yves Saint Laurent you know, I didn't skimp!)

    I'm really angtsy today, didn't think I would feel very well so didn't bring my gym kit today, but now I REALLY want to go to pilates but can't. Going to console myself by going home and absolutely hammering the free quidco offers for NIM to try to make a start on the £15 a day for April.

  • Hello all, hope everyone is well
    As you may have guest I have been rather busy with new baby. DD has been lecking spinal fluid from the spinal block for the section. So this has been given her really bad migrains. She was put on bed rest and I never thought I'd hear myself say this but she was doing to much. Also I have had the moderator in school marking GCSE coursework so it has all been a bit mad. I am off out tonight for a family meal so I am not going to do any school work but hopefully I will get some listing on ebay tonight when I get home, I need to start get some extra money. OH runs his own business so things are rather slow for him at the moment. Hope to speak to you all soon ROTE

    Blimey! Four thousand posts, about 15% of which are money related :D
    Good news - My wages are going up next week! :j £5p/h instead of £4.50, should be an extra £10 a week after tax. I think.

    Going to look at Pashleys this afternoon, Dad has offered to lend me the money then I'll pay him back monthly but I think I'd rather save, make double and triple sure that I want it.

    Hope your daughter is feeling better soon ROTE, take a relaxing 10 minutes with a cup of tea and a book when you can! Did you have a nice meal?

    Are you feeling better today Dinah? Good move on missing the pilates, I'd rather be feeling tip top for my holiday over very bendy but not 100%!

    Right, really need to knuckle down to work today. Have a nice day everyone!
