    Are all your computers broken? We're still on the same page as when I left this morning :eek:.

    I think I must have been subconsciously dreaming about advent hampers last night - woke up with shed loads of ideas and had to write them down before I forgot them - mind you they were all things I would like myself :rotfl:.

    OH really annoyed me earlier - he rang me on his way home as he always does and asked my fave question of the day "what's for tea" I had literally been in for 2 mins :mad:. I suggested he stop at Tesco on his way past but you would have thought I'd asked him to take all his clothes off in the middle of the motorway :rotfl: now that wouldn't have been pleasant :o:D;) so I ended up going to the chip shop and there were 20 people in front of me and I got followed back by a policeman!

    Was glad to get out as OH and DD had just had a shouting match over putting a packet of crisps in the bin - she wanted to finish the bit of her DS game she was on but he wanted it doing now! Then she started answering back and it went from there. I managed not to mention that his crisp packets would grow fur and walk there by themselves and just slammed the door on the way out :D.

    Anyhoo hugs to everyone don't care if you need one or not but if you do have 2 :D

    Where are you all this evening?......living your lives?

    Hope everyone's had a good day.
    It is pouring with rain again here, has been on and off all day, don;t think I'm going to get the gloriously hot day on Sunday I was hoping for, went to tesco this evening, I was nearly £100 for what I bought.......and nothing for tea, ended up going for chips. Got lots of wine and beer, not for me, I don't do alcohol but ever Money saving mhagster......we bought the reduced red nose day wine!

    had a lovely night last night and got a beautiful necklace from my friends and my dinner paid for.Untidy daughter and her friend sat behind us and she ate at least 13 profiteroles! they didn't cramp our style too much!

    ER tonight if i can stay awake long enough!

    I was in there half an hour in the end and I jumped 4 people as they were waiting for fish :eek: fortunately there were plenty of chips sausages and kebab meat :rotfl:.

    I dont understand where they all came from - there was no one in there when I drove past but it filled up in the time it took me to park.

    Maybe you should share those ideas with us Paddington, that way who ever gets to do yours will know exactly what you like ;)

  • All this talk of kebabs and chips means I will now be stopping at the kebab shop when I finally leave work at half past eight. Been a stupidly busy day!

    Have been head hunted for a new job, going to have a look round the office on Monday and decide. It's more money, which means I can give up my second job, and no stupid late night clinics, so will probably take it. Don't think I'll be able to MSE during the day though. Good thing I bought myself a laptop! Would also get an hour for lunch rather than the current 20ish minutes, so could take my knitting in with me.

    Two more days at work and I'm on holiday!!!
