    DS2 is planning to go into school (church school) on Monday and announce that DS1 took him to a sex shop and a pornography gallery...(Actually, Cexx shop - sells dvd's and games, and it's a photography gallery. Am anticipating social services on the doorstep...)

    I have a similar problem with Cexx shop here as well, I just say to DD "You know that red shop where you got your scooby-doo game from..." :o:rotfl::rotfl:

    Well another batch of stickers have sold on ebay so they're packaged up ready to go, I've accepted the offer of £36 for my boots, and I've listed the TV cabinet :D Very productive 30 minutes since I've also cleared out the fridge of the science experiments :o Well its the food thats been in there for a week and is looking decidedly dodgy :o:o

    Now.... I'm off to sit down and try to work out a proper budget based on my current money to see if I can pay my debts off before December 2013 - I'm sure I can ;) But first I'm going to get all my ebay pics together on my pendrive instead of the computer and sort out what I've still got that I can list and delete all the ones I've gotten rid of! :o :wave:

    I had loads to say and loads to reply to but my minds gone blank...what I can remember;

    Christmasshopper - brilliant news finding the ring!
    Soappie - your pooch is totally gorgeous (and the floor looks fab).
    Piggers - yeahhhhhhhh regarding the cheque
    Emily - hope you're all settled in no
    Michelle - lovely to hear from you
    Toots, valli and flower - helloooooooooooo!
    Everyone - hellooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    My flying tonight consists of cleaning blood up from all over the kitchen floor. DH dropped plates on it, cut right through his big toe nail and side of big toe - i've never seen blood gushing before. He needs stitches but won't go. I've bandaged it tightly and it's stopped seeping through but when I went back into the kitchen:eek: . It honestly looked like a murder had taken place. Let's see if he can walk tomorrow! Anyway, he's a grown up and if he won't go i'm going to bed!!:rotfl:

    Hugs to you all. Thoughts are with you diva xx
  • SS supergirl :rotfl: :rotfl: psml at the thought of that next door but one!!! scary in a way - what if it had gone on fire!!! hope they catch the bu**ers!!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I still can't quite believe they were growing narcotics! Funniest thing is, we - us and the neighbours - kept smelling cannabis, but we thought it was the little scrotes that hang around by the shop near us!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I've cleared the clothes from my bed, and have listened to the introduction on the sleep CD... It seems I need to listen to it at my regular bedtime, so given how late I usually get home, and how much I have to do, I think I should probably wait until 11.30. So I'm going to get everything ready (including my 6am alarm... apparently you have to get up at the same time every day, so I think I'd better forget about weekends & lie-ins for a bit. Maybe I can do some flying in the morning!), and then either have a bath or watch a DVD... another decision to make :rolleyes:
  • No supergirl we never think it can happen in 'our' street do we???

    mudbath oooooooo poor OH that sounds nasty - hope it doesnt get any worse overnight - now be honest you were actually throwing the plates at him? or were you practising your turkish plate spinning again?
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Bed made, hot water bottles in, about to sit down and watch a DVD with a cup of bed time tea. Keep your fingers crossed the sleep CD works!

    Hope you all sleep well!
