    I've washed up today so that's good. The kitchen isn't too bad altho it could be better.

    I had a bit of a crying/panicing session so have cancelled going to Thorpe Park tomorrow. I just can't cope with it. I'm so tired. I feel like a really bad friend but my friend says she understands. I'm disappointed and feel like I've let her down :o

    Rosepink Meant to say earlier: 'nebby' is a geordie term for 'nosey'. Sorry you felt you had to cancel your day out, you might have had a blast with your friend x make it a raincheck and plan to go another day.

    Boddy I'm so pleased your DD is ok, she/you have been on my mind the last couple of days x

    Gossip from DD1's work, the team manager who started the same time as her nicked 5k out of the safe at the w/e turns out he was on probation with 108 convictions for burglary and theft :eek: seems he waited for his first full months pay to go in too before he did it lol

    Got chip shop for tea, haven't painted the floor cause it's too late now and I'm cream crackered, will do the pack-ups for tomorrow tho and see to the cat.

    Hi guys,
    I just wanted to let you know there is no way I'm going to be able to keep up this week, or for the next few weeks because I'm away so much preparing for this course - I will try to stay on top of things, but I know already that I will need you once I get back... The place will be a tip!
    So I just wanted to send my best to everyone - Love to Toots and hope you get well soon, and Pigpen and anyone else who needs hugs x x x:A If anyone would be kind enough to send me a PM once she's home, that would be great.
    See you in about 3 weeks x
