Well wow im shocked, my DH who normally only displays shows of selfishness, laziness and self absorbtion, has organised to take me out tonight!!

Not only has he booked a table in a very nice restaurant ( and put away the money to pay for it which is nothing short of amazing ), he has booked us into the VIP suite at the cinema afterwards to watch slumdog millionaire.

All this on top of organising a babysitter, which I didnt even know he was capable of.

I actually went upstairs to check to see if my real husband was in still in bed where he usually is on a Sat morn.

Very very strange goings on in our house today!!

Hope you have a good time:T

So what you're really saying is you don't like talking to people :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

you are right!! I've never done the girly chat type thing etc and I don't need to use it for work and I usually speak to family via email or FB. I used to be on a contract until about 3 years ago and that was around £11 a month for 50 texts per month and 300 minutes any network per month! I used to use about 5 minutes if I was lucky which is why I went to PAYG when I was debt busting - only a small saving but it was worth it.

Bookie - this is the menu.....

nibbles before dinner (no chance of it being any kind of 'worthwhile' nibble :rotfl: )

Starter - Pan fried Peking duck breast on a bed of leaves
Main - Beef en croute topped with cranberries, goose fat saute potatoes, drunken devils, pigs in blankets, creamed leeks, gravy.
pud - Belgian chocolate pots and strawberries.

To be honest, I'm using up bits from Christmas from the freezer (nibbles, duck, beef, goose fat, pigs in blankets), bits already in the house and so it only cost me £6 from the supermarket yesterday for the cream, leaves, strawberries, chocolate.

Pud is done and in the fridge and duck is marinating in a mix of bits i've randomly chucked together to make a chinese marinade!!!

what do you want to know Bookie.....not sure if i can help but it depends on what your question is....

My daughter's fiance is living and working in France at the mement. She has a laptop but no internet access/phone line. A dongle seemed like a solution but the network coverage is dreadful where she lives. Onlt her Tesco mobile seems to work.
I just wondered if there was a way that they picked up signals if you see what I mean.

I've just gone all peculiar and need to sit down.

Morning all.....
I got a lovely card and a twin pack of YSL Touche Eclat....(I've still got a twin pack unopened from about 2 years ago but never mind!) Lovely lunch yesterday, and dinner tonight-diet? What diet???
Can I tell you what he wrote in the card as it's quite the nicest thing he's ever written???
"To my wife, my beautiful,sexy,amazing,caring,exceptional wife. Nothing makes me prouder than being your husband."
Isn't that lovely??

Bookie from what I know of dongles (husband uses one for when he travels around) is that the network coverage can be patchy at best...although you can check the areas where they work before you get them. We couldn't use ours when we were in cornwall last year.

Where does your daughter live bookie.......?

Are you okay???
