  • Hiya TJ, nice to see you back. It's ok, I'm a bit annoyed myself at the moment. Could really do with winning some sort of a break too. Not been abroad in 7 years and that was a school day trip to Paris which involved my friends dragging me around Forum Des Halles and me spending too much money on Princesse Tam Tam lingerie and Petit Bateau T shirts.

    Morning all,

    KKK, I hope you enjoy your meal out hun, glad to see you handling this pain bravely. Hope all goes well this evening x
    I can see why some users here have been keeping away lately. I adore the Inn and it's nothing to do with anyone here but the board per se can be so irritating at times. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1647669 Martin was just being nice and having a bit of a laugh and some people had to wade in and start debating his manners. !!!!!!. At this rate, he'll stop posting his silly posts and that would really be a shame. I know a lot of people on here have problems/no job/limited social lives, heck I'm one of them in a way, but there's better ways to behave than this.


    :rolleyes::rolleyes: you are right FE, I feel embarrassed at how seriously *some* people take things! Their reactions are out of order sometimes. No sense of humour at all!!!

    Afternoon peeps :)

    No wins for me today, but I got shower cleaning spray from Tesco Home panels - I'll get OH to do the cleaning lol
    We had the alarm panel at work serviced yesterday, so of course it wouldn't set when we tried to leave. I ended up staying 2 hours after work, and had the 2 kids with me, so it was a nightmare :(

    Hi everyone!!:hello:
    Gonna try and comp loads tonight!!

    KKK - My osteoarthritis in knees and elbows is playing up for the last few days, but i admire how much pain you have taken, and how you have dealt with it!!

    Flickering - Have you received the McDs tokens, sent them a week last Thursday, hope they haven't got lost in the post!!:rolleyes::mad:
    And agree that thread is just annoying that people have to spoil the humour, and nitpick!!:mad::mad:

    Congrats on all wins everyone!!
    Only hosp appt letter for me in afew weeks time, the blood test results i got last week said my thyroid levels v low at 8.2, when it should be around 100!:eek:
    thats the reason i've been feeling tired and having more naps, and being lazy and forgetful, thyroxine dose has gone up now to 100mcg!:eek:
  • Hehe, I'm kinda shocked at what I said last night. Mind you, my 7 hour pub trip is going to be a 12 hour pub crawl now so expect more bad behaviour from me...
