    Welcome back Lula :j Glad you had a fab time! Did you manage to use all the shoes you took with you?
    Not alot has been happening on the thread unless you're doing the MB? I can't remember now if you were doing it or not.
    You stay in that bubble for as long as you can coz once it's burst it's back to reality :rolleyes:

    Well I've paid my council tax today, days early :T I don't think I've EVER paid it on time. It's the only bill I don't pay DD so I always forget but I think I'm going to set up a DD.

    I was meant to be going camping this weekend but not going now due to lack of funds. I'm off work till Thursday so I'm really going to try and gut my house. my friends coming round tonite to chat to me while I do, seems to make it easier for some reason :confused:

    DD goes back to school on Wednesday and I've still not got her uniform yet:eek: But hopefully I'll be able to get it tomorrow. She's looking forward to going back to school now, I remember always looking forward to going back to school myself, I was a bit of a teachers pet but then again so is DD.

    I used to love all the back to school shopping, new bag, new school skirt (one area of individuality) and new pencil tin....

    But I didn't really like school and I remember regularly crying on the first day back to school which then set off my sister!!!!

    Should be able to get both.

    Was there a code to enter at Betdaq?

    Yes, they give all new customers a free bet plus I had a code from the bookie s/s as well.

    However transpires I need to bet again as you have to bet with odds over 2.0 to get free bet :mad::mad: Which they failed to mention anywhere at all on the site (well as far as I could see :mad:)

    Having a look now to get this free bet.....
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Hello my fabby lovelies :D

    Got home early hours of this morning & had a lovely time. Just what I needed; no calls, no knocking on the door, no post, no men & no freakin drama. Lots of sunshine, swimming, good food, good company, meandering round galleries, coffees in cafes, meals out & enjoying new & random sights & sounds :j

    Not leaving home today as trying not to burst the holiday bubble so getting on with washing, & clearing out my wardrobe decluttering & clearing out my wardrobe.

    Hope everyone is well & happy, have been thinking of you all & sorry but I'm far too lazy to read back throught the thread so a precis of any important / exciting news would be very helpful.

    Hugs to all

    Welcome home! Sounds like you had a wonderful, and well deserved, holiday!!! :j:j

    As shoegal advises, not much changes. However shoegal has a new fab plan so maybe head on over there for peek?

    I think if this board were ever to hand out awards, Shoegal should be given 'best plans' award!!!

    I love how they involve looking glamorous! :j

    I'm with you on that one - however you gotta keep it fresh!!

    No point sticking with plan that ain't working!!!

    Have found MB is good for geography - having learnt Vasilus is in Romania (thanks Shoegal) have now learnt that Tigre and Rosario are in Argentina. If the MB doesn't work out, I have a feeling I'll be raking it in at pub quizzes instead....:rotfl:

    Hello again,

    I know it's rather early but I have wine :eek: The window cleaner turning up for payment, DD1 arriving needing more money & a necessary trip to Taco put a bluddy big dent in my bubble so I though wine was the best way to repair it ;).

    Shoe Gal I love your overview of the thread. No Bowski, I am not doing matched betting - too clever/boring/time consuming for me :o. I will be heading over to yours in a bit Shoe Gal to catch up on your plans. If they involve more holidays, shoes, clothes & generally keeping fabulous then I'm sure I'll approve :D You will be impressed to learn that I did manage to wear each of my pair of shoes ( admittedly 2 pairs only once) but I can assure you that everyone within sight was impressed with the red ones & as for the bag ... I swear there were tears of envy at Gatwick :rotfl:

    Right, must whizz over to Shoe Gals for a catch up now ...


    back in a bit
