    Thanks Beanie, just kick myself up the backside when i am a negative git.

    We are all allowed to be negative from time to time Bob, that way we know when we are being positive.

    Things dont always go as planned...today I was supposed to go with two other freinds to the sperm bank...but I never saw them.... I found out later that ,evidently, one missed the tube and the other came on the bus.:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    Hi Bob!
    Glad you're feeling a wee bit better, hun - not all the way back, I'd say.

    Butlins is the st minver scratch card that I do - you have to deposit real money, play the scratchcard, and then, when you've got that 10p or whatever (immediately) withdraw your £10. They'll warn you and moan at your that you're going to lose the bonus money, and you will, but none of us care about that because its not useable anyway. I can't remember if its st minver sites or TAB, but if you use the bonus there's a ridiculous wagering requirement. Don't do it! Free £1s appear as and when - but you won't get going until you do that deposit that can be withdrawn about ten minutes later.

    hope that makes sense ....

  • maybe I have t wrong with st minivers - I've left me 10 in and just keep playing - when it gets to 20 I'll withdraw (phnar!) Did make the mistake of playing the other day mind!!
    Bob no need to apologise - we all have down days and your situation isnt helped by mr bob apparently not taking financial responsibility whch would get anyone hacked off fairly soon!! Hang in there me lovely...bug hugs for you! As I say to KP (often) where is your fun?! Doesent hveto be expensive fun but the odd bob night wouldnt go amiss would it eh?!! All work and no play...

  • Barely afternoon everyone..

    Thanks for explaining about the scratches. When i tried to do the TAB today it told me i had to make a deposit..it can wait for a few days. I have other stuff to pay out for DD2's college trips and that takes priority.

    On news front..i have checked and Msing monies should be in during the next week so that will suffice as a deposit. It also looks like supply work is on the up so all a extra. Quidco at the end of the month as well. Should be a nice little stash. Will update when all monies are in.

    Went to guides again last night and was quite good, i will be taking my camping licence soon ( when the weather warms up) so i am looking forward to that.Maybe not quite the kind of entertainment that ISOM was on about but it is a start. Talking of which that really is something i have to watch out for as i do have a tendency to become slightly in on myself, so suitable boots will be good..Beanie quite happy to be your *BOOT* partner or should we lob a friendly turnip or two?:D

    Other than that had another night's rubbish sleep and didn't help with phone going off this morning..two wrong nos for a garage:confused: and one for some unkown person..really p'eed me off so i pulled the plug.

    Hope everyone else has a good day.

    I have teenage girls myself so i feel a bit like their mum really. Not a bad bunch if a tad scatty and very good at the *stare* and whatever look:rotfl: There is only one girl who i think is a bit :eek: but she has a lot of problems..just wish she would stop winding some of the other's up:cool: Looking forward to it as i enjoy camping but it will be a bit of a culture shock for them as they will have to do the work themselves and rely on their own resources..so very character building.
