Hi again, sorry I was distracted by the washing up mountain which is now washed, dried and put away.........I have put my blinkers on when walking past the ironing though:rolleyes:
I am feeling a bit nostalgic...........I know we have had one before but I fancy a good old boogie at the 1970's Disco........dig out your flares:D
But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
i've set up my grandfather's internets 4 times in the past week.
each time i leave him and everything is working, and then i call him a few days later to ask about it and he basically says that it doesnt work for whatever reason. im fed up trying.
so tired tonight. feeling quite stressed also - tryin to talk to my family about CC's but noone is interested or wants to help and none believe that i can a) afford one or b) will keep it in check (eg, to stooz with(which is ideally what i want to do))Mr & Mrs Doomcow Wedding Fund: £10200/£18000 (by 04/2012) (spent £2000)
