    Mary, I truly hope everything goes well tomorrow and that it doesn't prove too stressful for either of you. All I can do is send you my fondest wishes and say I'll be thinking about you both.

    Scattymam - Huge congratulations! You take it easy now...
    Mary-op - best of luck tomorrow.

    GGGGRRRRRRRRRR I am sooo wound up - was driving back from town and some idiot nearly pulled out in front of me then decided this was my fault and followed me through town with his lights on full beam, beeping at me! I was so upset, couldn't work out what the hell I was meant to have done wrong (only been driving 6 weeks!)

    Then I tried to put lampshades back up in the living room and smashed one, won't be able to find another as they are really old (landlords won't be pleased).
    We asked landlords for a plumber today as still have no working radiator in our room (lots of mould and it's freezing!) and no plumber yet...

    Having a really bad day :(

    Aww Im the same - Ive only been driving since Feb and whenever something like that happens I get really panicky and start shaking and cant drive for days! Just ignore him, he probably knew he was in the wrong thats why he wanted to be-little you - they always do it! The amount of times men have pulled out on me and I get beeped at or get the dreaded 'finger' :rolleyes: Chin up its nearly Christmas! x

    I have only just managed to get to Argos to collect a catalogue...and boy am I disappointed.
    did anyone else struggle with the secret santa? I was looking for a particular thing which they don't seem to sell anymore and couldn't find much for £10 or less. I have got two so far but am really struggling with no3. I can think of loads of things to choose for my swappee I just can't find them in Argos! I apologise in advance for whoever gets my choices:o

    I'm sure whatever you choose will be from the heart and wonderful,
    think nxt yr add Boots into the challenge..... thats if everyone fancies another fun year.
