    Hi Cocalls

    Hav'nt put it on a card, paid a low deposit, so now need to pay Thomson £1700 by mid may, its doable, think i am going to make it a bit of a challenge and try to raise the money by selling bits on ebay, surveys etc. So then in theory it would be a free holiday if you see what i mean.

    Kiddies are only 5 and 6 but they already earn their pocket money by doing extra jobs around the house, but too young to send out to work.

    Good luck with the losing weight, i went for a run yesterday which i felt really good about and was good with my eating all day, then went and ruined it last night by eating 2 jam donuts. Sometimes i'm just useless.

    I reckon you'll be able to do it-is it to Disney Land?
    I get yr 1 & 2's into the museum to do Victorians and i show them the machinery they would have had to work under at their age if they'd been alive in the Victorian times-and looking at 5 & 6 yr olds they seem like nearly babies you just cant imagine the poor little mites having to work a 12 hr day, yep we've come a ong way since the Victorian times-yours are perhaps a little too young to be earning yet!

    No not disney, wish it was, going to Kos, its only for a week but booked all inclusive, so we don't have to take much spends and the kids can eat as much ice cream as they want.

    oh i wish i had a holiday to look forward to, think we may do something exciting like look up travel lodge offers and do a few days in Yorkshire or something.
    I've had to drink some lucozade recently and have to agree it's disgusting, unfortunately they didn't give me any choice over it and i had to drink the best part of a bottle in 5 mins yucky!

    nowt wrong with holidaying in Yorkshire-Land of the Gods! Where abouts do you think you'll go? It's a big place! We regularly take little excursions out when York feels too crowded(!!! I could never live in London!) and im always amazed by how it can change from just going five mils or so.

    Virgin bingo & littlewoods sites are down & i still haven't got my lightspeed money in my paypal account humph! Dont have to bring packup in with me today as im going to training on disability access & getting free food hurrah. Talking of free food does anyone know anything about Cherries. (The below has been shamlessly cut and pasted from the OS board




    how can you tell an eating cherry tree from one thats not?
    the other day i picked loads of cherries from a tree-they were all balck and v delicious. Today at work i suggested to a collegue we go picking some cherries id seen by the canal at lunch time they were black too but a bit smaller-but these were horrible really sour and bitter-now i know you can get sour cherries but how can you tel them apart?(Id rather not have to eat them again!)

    cheers miemie

    Well just seen Oh off at the station sob sob:(
    I really miss him while he's away but at leat it means i'll spend less, loose weight and the house will be cleaner-hey maybe he should go away more often!

    Got £6 through from lightspeed to paypal so i've requested it which will take another 5 days-is there no quicker way?:confused:
    and i've requested another £6 from lightspeed.
    Thats just about all to report today-got fed at lunchtime & a friend has invited me round for tea on weds so i wont feel so lonely which is great.
