    I have no idea how i feel to be honest
    Definately wasnt on my list of things to do today or even ever so who knows
    Going to go finish my Assignments
    back later
    Hope everyone has a good day
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Phew! Day almost over...

    Did Driving Instructor thingy with DS - worst experience of my life - if he could do it wrong - he did! About 100 years old now! Amazingly enough, when it came to test, he passed!!!!!!!:j

    Sorted his car insurance out when we got home - chuffed to bits..
    Best quote I had got before test - c.£3500 (ouchchch!) - Direct Line - £2113, saving Mummie loads of wedge. That MUST make me money neutral this year? Well, maybe not.:D

    Also stored boxes in garage - which was going to be part of my pledge tomorrow - so pledge for tomorrow now is -

    Complete decorations in conservatory
    Vac & dust conservatory
    Vac & Dust Drawing Room
    Clean D/S Loo
    Buy foodstuff for weekend - and for the first time in 12 years, it doesn't have to fit round school runs!!!! Woo hoo! FREEDOM!:p :p:p

    Well done to everyone for being on the Nice List yesterday, and hello mateys to those of us on the naughty girls list (I think naughty girls have more fun!)
    Poor and content is rich enough!

    So sorry to hear that, I am getting more and more nervous that the same is going to happen to me, thinking of you. x

    Julu WELL DONE to your son... Its great not having to do the school run. When my eldest passed his test he wanted to drive everywhere. Including getting up on none college days to take his brothers to school :D and pick them up :D Unfortunately it lasted about 7 weeks :rotfl: So i am back on school runs
    furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
    About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D

    Dont come online for a day & miss sooooo much on here!

    Got PJs for the christmas eve hamper today, got myself a nice, cheap, black lounge suit/track suit from Primark today for under £8 which I'll wear instead, just incase we get visitors, just need a nice red betty boop top to go with it :) Much cheaper than the betty boop lounge suit with matching vest top I was watching on ebay, went for nearly £40, & mine is just missing the little embroidered betty boops.

    Nother slipknot/stone sour fan here, sooooooo Jealous you got to meet Corey, pinkladymel, one of the few blokes I like with short hair.

    My pledge for tomorrow is to organise with MIL when they're going to visit just before christmas (they bring the pressies over to send to Santa & have some christmas cheer).
    You cant take a step forward with both feet on the ground

    shevs & phunkles - more hugs.

    julu - well done to DS and ouch for the insurance premium sometimes I'm glad I'm old :p.

    jamtart - can I have some xmas spirit I still don't have much - well never usually have any so improvement on last year.

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for helping me get organised this year am feeling so much better than this time last year as I ened up on anti depressants as the ghosts of xmases past came back with a vengeance :o.

    Can I make day 4 of the nice list? Hmmmmm
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p
