    Thanks Lil2002 - OH says naked pictures available on request, he'll do a series of full monty nuddie ones especially for you for 5k to pay off my remainder! :p

    He's hot, but I'm not sure anyone is 5k hot!

    He's been a complete star this weekend, trapsing off to see my family, and being great with my friends, and tonight we did 23 ebay listings together and wrapped 20 parcels. Now I finally get to curl up in bed with him for 6 hours until work tomorrow!

    OH arrived nice and safe, its amazing having him here, just feels so much better than not having him here!

    I read this after my boyfriend went home early sunday morning, felt jealous and looonely, rang him up complaining all i had to do was watch chitty chitty bang bang and made him come back over :D

    Is he going back home today or is he staying longer?

    Nope he's staying another 7 days :j That was sweet of him to come back Cinny.

    Having a bad book day today, can't find a bag of books I need to get out 4 that have sold, and another book, that wouldn't be in that bag, is missing entirely and someone has RiSi-d it.

    I thanked him by having pancakes, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and toast (rounded off with a cup of tea, of course) waiting for when he got here. and yay to another 7 days! :j

    Hopefully you'll be able to find the books! I'd be stressing out like crazy if I couldn't find it (not wanting to stress you out, too :o )


    and bloody hell you're in the £4000 already!!

    No no, I'm stressing like crazy! If I can't find it I'm going to email her offering to send her a postal order for £2 or something, or is she prefers I will order a replacement from amazon or green met or somewhere. I also couldnt find the car tax letter and it was due today so OH went out in sub zero temperatures at 2am to look for it in my car as I was too worked up to sleep!

    Have loads of parcels to send today, and the council tax rebate cheque to put in the bank.

    Argh! Just took me 55 mins to post my parcels! The queue in the post office was all the way around the ropes, and to the front door, must have been 35 people queueing for 3 cashiers!
