Love the stripeys and the story about your lovely friend
Had to say Hi as I am too an avid stripey fan and have been known to insist that people who work with me adopt the very healthy practice of wearing stripeys too x
Hope you have a lovely day enjoying happy memories of your very clever friend :grouphug:FeeFee

I was already wibbly & am now wibbly wobbly so have had to put spotty socks on to go with spotty slippers (they clash horribly
).
Spotty socks are my stripey socks
Dodgy hug for you Fay:grouphug:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Hi Fee Fee and Galley girl
Ta for the slightly dodgy looking hugs xx
Isn't it funny the silly things we do for other folk which they remember?

Blimey, very stripey indeed:D I only wear ankle ones..mmm ponders whether these will bring more luck.:cool::D
Edit to say i should stop reading from bottom of page up and had to add what a lovely story and a very appropriate way to remember her.xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
She created this stripey monster!! The slightly alarming thing is however, that prior to study - I had no debt. So in 2000 I was debt free and have wracked up over £35k in less than 8 years. All I did was try and make myself more employable - Gordon Brown - you need to listen up matey - us single parents don't need the burden of student loans (mine is almost 14k and I had to pay my fees as well) when trying to get ourselves back into society as contributing beings - we don't mind working but we already contribute (long and hard) by bring up our children to be functional contributing humans
- oh sorry don't know what came over me
Ahem - I just paid an extra 72 quid to the hairy mclairy loan - got told I was definately getting paid tomorrow and I had 72 left in my account to over it went to the hairy loan - so annoying though as its now 803 - hey ho will put in some more tomorrow when paid to get it under 800.
However must pay a huge chunk of CC this month from all the spending and trips - no expenses in yet from April trip..........Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
