    Tee hee .... remind us of the date again, Hypno?

    Bothered by totesport now - just hunting that extra dosh, and my £14.65 isn't withdrawable after all, tho it was won - I have to deposit an equivalent amount, play with it, then withdraw the money thats already in there, plus I *am* allowed to withdraw anything I've won with the money I deposit..... I'm inclined to say, shall I bother? But I know I should.

    A kick up the backside would be much appreciated right now....

    £1 for the first tooth, and for doubles.........50p for all others.

    But then our tooth fairy was often skint, and had to leave an IOU :o But as long as a nice letter was written, explaining that it would come eventually, the children didn't seem to mind........:o

    don't forget shaun - your little ones are losing their teeth in the 21st century...

    ...the tooth fairy had to contend with the euro-sterling conversion so the tooth is worth at least 5 Euro!!!

    Morning!



    Yep, I'm up for that! My chauffeur will drive me from the little airport where I keep my private jet, when I'm in this country that is :D

    Back in the present day world, I had a wonderful time myself yesterday, at Wol's - its brought me back to life again, and confirmed that one of the worst things about feeling physically low is the *boredom* of not feeling up to doing much. But I've got lots of energy from the visit - turbocharger is starting to do its thing. Happy days :j:j:j


    i need some of that wonder if wol will hire out her services ...i could do a weekend visit and be sorted ...

    Happy Sunday-worked a few hours this morning -I'm managing these 53 hour plus weeks still (this is rumoured to be the last one) and I am knackered. Need to hit another 50 by Friday to get the final bonus-and sort out house, and get ready for holiday and catch up on paperwork which is woefully behind........a spot of MBing wouldn't go amiss along with writing to Tax credits who apparently have overcollected £2K and chase up DLA who have apparently not backdates DS's claim correctly (another £1000). Quite honestly I should forget the OT this week and get all the other stuff done but I just can't bring myself to refuse it.
    Maybe if I just gave up sleep for a week..................
    Ah well after next Monday I won't be able to do any of it as we're staying at Gatwick the night before our flight so I'll do what I can then have to stop stressing I suppose.

    Can't wait to see the "Egg cracked and closed" post Hypno. Not far to go now !! :)

    I agree duchy, give up the sleep time and you will be fine!

    Mind you, I still have things like that to do - I never got round to the council tax banding thing for example.....

    We are continuing with the house and garden stuff.....the conservatory is now a conservatory, rather than a half way staging post between house and ebay/garage/bin......and OH is on a mission to find the dilution requirements for the weedkiller so that we can put that down while the weather is good.

    Still a long way to go, but gradually making the place habitable!
