  • Good evening . . . . Hope the day went well for everyone . . .

    Shook out my wallet & a big ole shiny £2 coin has gone into my sealed pot . . .

    Had some great post as well . . . My Neil Young tickets !!!!!!!!!!! & a letter from the Co-Op confirming that as of next month I will be paying the mimimum balance each month . . . Add to that the fun & games of PAD and I'll be shot of the !!!!!! ASAP . . .

    Thanks Hopeful! Think I just get frustrated and I think it may partly be down to lady time coming up but we shall see what happens next week! Suprisingly to me, I'm really enjoying the cycling. I never realised how much is actually on your doorstep! Roll on some drier/sunnier weather! How are things with you?


    xx

    If ladytime is coming or pink week as a colleague used to call it, is due, that could be responsible for some temporary weight gain. As i said, don't worry about it. The cycling sounds great though. I'm going to be doing lots of swimming. I really enjoyed doing that in my 1st pregnancy, it's so relaxing.


    0137241450085.jpgWill you be partaking in any naked cycling? :p

    I'm not too bad at all thanks. The sickness has passed (geez did that make it's presence known!!) and my appetite is back with a vengeance. Strawberry milk, ice cream, feta cheese, salad, cottage cheese and cheese with branston pickle sandwiches are my core diet foods at the moment :p Once i'm hungry i can't concentrate on anything til i've eaten, it's like a serious obsession! eating.gif
    One step at a time ;)

    Evening PADers

    £5.97 PAD to Cap one today.

    Nearly had a heart attack at lunchtime today - used the cash machine to withdraw £300 (to lodge into another account), the transaction went through and gave me my card back but NO MONEY:eek:. I swear i broke out in a cold sweat thinking there was something wrong with the b****y machine. Turns out Abbey had blocked my account because of all the recent transactions (pads:D) but considering i only got paid last Friday of course there are going to be transactions. Eventually got it sorted out after going into the branch and getting one of the staff to ring head office. Can't win can you;)
    Payment A Day £15 (started 17/5/14) :j

    Evening all!

    Quick question from me for any Geordie PADders...

    I'm coming down from Edinburgh for the day to Newcastle on Saturday to (hopefully) watch the Toon beat the mighty Fulham. Hopefully.

    Anyway, we will be getting there about lunchtime, and kick-off isn't till 3pm and our train back is at 7.30pm. We are getting a lift down, so I don't know our exact arrival time. What is good to do for wandering skintfolk in the Toon on a Saturday afternoon? The bbc website forecasts heavy rain (Boo) so my original idea of sandwiches in a park somewhere appears to have b*ggered off.

    All help appreciated. Please comment in my diary thread if you don't want to clog up the PADding!

    Yeah should be heading down! A friend of my sister's is in the country from Chicago for a few days so I'm sure our Chicago days will be re-lived!

    Cool !! Chicago is on my list for a trip so you have to return the info favour! Only when I am debt free though.....so I'll be asking in about 2039 ! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Ah cheers FF ! I'm really pleased so far - long way to go but PAD is a great motivator!

    I'm not a geordie but if you're stuck for something to do before the big match I have an idea.....could you please track down Cheryl Cole and give her my phone number?? ;)

    PS - now Leicester have been promoted and the season is over I'll be secretly rootin for the Toon to avoid the drop!! Boring Fulham !! I hope you get em!!
