  • Good for you Fay, glad to see you are keeping your pecker up. When you were in the Lakes, i was not so far away from you.*shame* about the guides, i would have met you otherwise.

    does sound like you had a good time, have fun with your fight with pig boy, lovely name for him. Ive two pig girls in my office, they think they have swine flu but not one sniffle between the two of them!
  • Hello all
    looks like I need to plan a mini-adventure meeting up with you lot next time.

    Despite being 6ft1 my OH doesnt really do 'people' as he is painfully shy :)

    Next day of hols was spent in a quidco discounted roomed hotel in Gateshead to go bonkers in the metro centre :)

    Hope lifeis ok - LT - hope the swines in the office behave themselves............if anyone has any piggie flu wouldn't mind sending...............

    Peedie update

    DD's out for this month

    Not much cash, but not over my limits - still struggling to find the 700 to pay Darwin's bill - need to speak to the garage.

    Hairy McClairy wasn't paid off before the holiday much to my sadness as Darwin went into the garage.

    BUT


    The loan is now ..................................................... 134.95:D

    I can't actually believe it - it will be paid in full on or before the 15th of August 2009 - I started overpaying in February of this month spurrned on by you lovely people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It will cut my DD's by £160 a month :)

    Doing a peedie dance in my seat.:p

    As you are hamster boy

    then I guess so :)

    OH is called Puffin boy - its a shape thing.

    I am learning all about dyslexia at the moment in a random attempt to understand my brain (Broken Brain Girl - BBG) and I am a very visual learner so I guess the animal thing is right.

    DD is called Nutthead (she is called after a nut- not an animal more a food group I guess but she is a NUT so its fitting)

    DS is called affectionately RATBOY. - nuff said

    Well I have to say on the scale of bad plans on my part, that was the worst plan in the history of bad plans on a bad planning day which is similar in scale as such bad plans as the scheme to plan a multistorey carpark on an ant hill on a sanddune using chocolate instead of cement in an area where there are NO cars and NO one drives. That is to say, my planning was indeed very bad.

    Sorry BOB:o
