    Morning Fay (oops, Gd Afternoon :o)
    Good luck with your writing and stuff. I'm with Mogchops on your writing style :D

    I think I have the opposite of Dyslexia (and why the hell do they make that word so hard to spell??????) I struggle to read stuff where the wrong there/their etc is used :rotfl:

    But years ago my fellow students (only BSc, not the exalted Dr stuff- def reached my ceiling) used to give me their essays to proof read as spell check didn't pick out wrong words, and I loved doing it :confused:.

    hi fay and everyone.
    I've decided to draw a line in the sand and as of today i'm overdraft free! and i've paid an extra £50 off my debt to my nephews savings accounts. I've also now paid 43% off my debt, i've just felt down and in a rut and needed to make a positive move debt wise. hopefully by the end of next month i'll have cleared what i borrowed from my nephews savings accounts and then it's just the loans.
    Just need to make sure this month that i don't spend on the CC so i can also close that down by the end of August

    Woooo hoooo Lemon Tree! :):):) Overdraft free! What an achievement! :):) And CC out by the end of August - that's very nearly here! Hooray! :):)

    Glad I have some lovely internet friends :beer: - nobody has turned up to my party yet! Flippin bohemian hippy musician friends with no concept of time! Pah! Late is NOT fashionable! I know a few people are coming after the pub, but nobody? At quarter to ten? Possibly a record!

    Oh well, if nobody turns up we've got enough chilli to feed us for a good couple of weeks - very MSE! :rotfl:

    Anyway, I've brushed all me wigs, Mr Daffs is in the bath (so it's a good job nobody's here yet!), and I'm about to make some paper shoes out of the paper shoe book from the charity shop :)
    :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    That made me feel better! :T

    Actually makeup, I opened the book and it looked far too complicated so I haven't tried it! Something to do in a quiet moment I think, not during a raucous party :)

    Mr Daffs has made shoes out of plastic milk cartons though, and they work! :)

    Morning!

    Actually quite a few people turned up, we had a most lovely time, singing and messing around, and the raucousness ended about 4 :) Went to bed as the sun was rising :):)

    Women's institute for tea and cake this morning, as every Saturday morning :) Now listening to a bit of calypso while doing a bit of tidying and reading the paper. Life is gooooooooood :):)

    Oooh, and late on in the evening I swapped fabulous shoes for fabulous stripey socks, and two other people said "I love your socks! I love stripey socks - I'm wearing them too!" and one was a bloke :) Hooray for stripeyness!

    wonder where the lovely fay is.
    i had a good day today at a crop, but only managed to get two layouts done and a mini tag book which i don't particularly like as i don't like the papers we were given. Spent a little too much but it was all cash, though it was suposed to go against the food money i spent last week but it'll be fine.
