    Blondie - have you thought about entering competitions online whilst you are "resting". I do it in between reading the forum and doing the dishes lol. You never know you might win something you want/need and if not sell it on ebay or keep it as a MSE gift for someone else. There is a thread on the forum somewhere and several other websites too.

    Glad you're feeling better today, sometimes you have to reach rock bottom in order to start to climb back up again.

    Dry mouth - maybe suck on some ice cubes or crushed ice??

    PS Blondie - have you thought about seeing CAB.. I know it takes a while to get an appointment up here, but might be worth it when you are feeling better - and take someone with you as sometimes they think of usefulthings to ask xxRR

    Maybe I will start a hanging basket challenge! With the help of poundland I think I can do 4 for about £10. Its windy here.
    Half of my wet underwear has come off the line and plastered itself on the windcreen of the farmer's tractor - ARghhhhh embarrassment of my huge bras. Will be back later to see how Blondie is doing. Bye all X

    I have tears, TEARS of laughter over the wet underwear/tractor sentence. I think the bold typeface adding emphasis to the genuine horror is what did me in.
    I LOVE THIS THREAD! :smileyhea

    i think the one im reading is about free clicks, seems you can earn about 3 pounds a day which will keep you and marmite in malted milk heaven for a while x
  • actually the more i read it it is about cashback you have to spend money first!

    I just hope the farmer wasn't driving the tractor at the time - that would've been pants (or bras) :D

    It's turned out a lovely day here, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and I'm losing the plot cos got loads to do but want out in the sun, just for 5 mins....
  • Lauren - you're cats are cute, my cat makes a wah noise rather than meow too...I always put it down to her being a bit 'odd' lol

    ha ha. We only found out about the palate because he throws up regularly _pale_ costs £500+ for the op to cure it, so he'll just have to keep 'Waah'ing, lol.

    Another Martin fan here :money: Don't let my hubby see that though! Fiscal responsibility, very attractive in a man :rotfl:

    Ok so I know I'm OOOBER late in joining and subscribing but it took me flipping ages to find this thread after reading the other one!

    And I read up to page 16 before I got a bit itchy and just decided to post, but DID see that Martin himself had answered your thread which is amazing :D

    I don't have a cat and I'm not blonde (well I have highlights) but I am a big old girly girl and love love LOVE biscuits. And I was unemployed for three months and it might happen again come december so I'm a bit similar there as well.

    Rosered CONGRATS on your toy boy - maybe its because I'm still a bit young but I find any blokes younger than me are kob heads and not worth my time! Your house in the country sounds really lovely too - I think that's the definate long term idea!!
    End of 2010 I was £8,007.66 in debt :(
    Today's total: £7,297.06 :o

    Hi Ebony! I know what you mean about younger men as a rule. I think I just had so many boyfriends that I eventually found a good one! Plus, I learned to stop taking any cr*p from men whatsoever. That's my secret.

    Off back outside to scrape the rest of my wet laundry smalls off the farm machinery. Just seen the farmer - he rolled his eyes at me the way horses do when they see dustbins! :)
