Hi ladies :hello:

My laptops working again, yay! Had to pay £26 for a new charger, that hamster isn't getting fed for a month! :rotfl: (just kidding, please don't report me!! )

I've had a really good day, CAB training was really good, we covered debt and consumer rights and thanks to this brilliant website I knew quite a lot about both (I was making myself be quiet after a while because I didn't want people to think I was a "little miss know it all" ) They're all very nice so i'm sure they didn't think that though, just me being paranoid! :rotfl: We had to do a financial statement AKA statement of affairs and of course I know exactly how to do one of them!! :rotfl: It was really good though, very interesting and informative.

And I BOOKED A HOLIDAY! :j :j I shall be jetting off to Tenerife in 4 weeks And I am very impressed with the price, paid £446 for 2 of us, self catering, 4 star, including flights and transfers, should have been more but I haggled her down That's about £200 cheaper than most others i've seen so very happy :j And we get a hefty 22kg luggage allowance each plus 10kg hand luggage, think of all the shoes I can take!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Haven't had a decent holiday for a few years (last year it got cancelled the week before coz of the XL thingy and the year before I got flu in Portugal and had to come home early!) So we are very excited

My bloomin shoulder is still a bit iffy, I washed my hair Wednesday and my god it hurt so bad, I thought I was going to be sick or pass out or something! Got to wash it again today but it's feeling better so hoping it won't hurt that bad now.

Lucky You! Hayley going to Tenerife, that's where we went in Feb. PLEASE be very careful about the weight of your luggage as we got ('done') charged a fortune on the way back for being over weight (the luggage not me!). They are very keen to make money out of you under any circs. Where are you staying? Have you been before? I've not got an extensive knowledge of there but if I can help.......

Hiya, Thanks for all the nice birthday wishes...I had a lovely day yesterday, been thoroughly spoiled and then out for a nice meal with dh last night whilst mil babysat...

Mhagster I am glad you are finding it ok after 6weeks of being 40...has anything dropped off yet :p I hope not, I don't think it has really hit me yet, but I do think that 40 seems a lot younger these days than it used to (I am telling myself that anyway!!) sending you dodgy hugs for your poor bruised self :grouphug:

Mum2one I bet your dd will be soo chuffed to see herself in the paper and I bet your mum was impressed when she said she thought 'nana was drunk' :rotfl: anyway it was fantastic that she recoginised it and like you say if people read it it could well save someone else..

Rusty- glad the kind fairy who takes away pain in th night has visited you, lets hope things continue to improve..

catch you all later...

mum2one

MUM2ONE; you must be so proud of your daughter .It is a lovely photo of your mum and daughter......and no mention of your mum being drunk!!!

hayley11

Aww mum2one that's lovely, bet your daughter is chuffed to be in the paper!

Marg - thanks, I haven't been before, I shall let you know if I think of anything We should be ok with the luggage though, OH never takes much abroad, he only takes a suitcase because I make him, otherwise he'd take his football kit bag :rolleyes: :rotfl:

I have just realised it's more than likely going to be my time of the month while we're away! :rolleyes: It's such a pain because I never know the exact day now i'm not on my pill so it's going to make me really paranoid Plus I can't move the first day, it's that painful. Can I take a hotwater bottle to Tenerife? :rotfl: Hopefully i'll be pregnant this month, then I won't have to worry about it
