OMG, I really do need a SAFE place. Where will you put your Mozza tickets when they come?
We now have a "Tickets" drawer in the dining room, they go straight in there and dont come out until the night of the show.
Its fatal to get them out too early just incase some idiot tidies them up:D (or throws them in the bin by accident)
I cant totally settle though until I am in the venue and had my tickets checked as I am always paranoid that they may be a forgeries:eek:But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

I had bought them from the Book People at work. One was a huge encyclopaedia kind of book, can't remember the other one. I put them on the table on top of some paper work and realised the next day the paperwork and the books were gone. He had put the whole lot in the bin without looking at what was there - he thought it was all old newspapers!
And the bin had been collected that morning

I left my train tickets to London on the top of the microwave/combination oven.
I didn't realise they were thermally printed and when I checked them the day before my trip they were totally black!
I had to hold them up to a bright light where you could just make out the ink because it reflected slightly differently to the rest of the paper.
You should have seen the conductor's face on the trains to and from Kings Cross trying to make out what they said!
I didn't have a problem using them though.
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
My mum was once driving, with her rings threaded onto her watch strap, on her knee. I started to be travel sick, so she quickly parked up, and jumped out of the car to help.
A while later, she realised what had happened, and called the police. Weeks went by, and she heard nothing. Then suddenly, she got a phone call from the police.
An elderly man had picked her bundle of jewellery up, put it in his pocket and forgotten all about it. It was only when he next went out (several weeks later - awwwwww) that he found the booty in his pocket and handed it all in to the policeIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

I'm not quite sure he understood himself how he had done it!! I was a bit miffed but more confused by how he had managed in the first place! :rotfl:
I'm having my hair cut and coloured on Monday morning. At long last!!
I'm going to have it done by the hairdresser who cut and coloured it in May (her 'creation' is my FB pic). I'm not going to the one who did it just before the September meet - I never want to go anywhere where 2 of them are scraping dye off my forehead because they didn't bother to wipe it off and the dye is still leaking onto towels 2 months later :eek:
I'll get it at student rates, so not as bad as paying full whack.
"Stay Wonky":D
