    That sounds nasty Triker hope the Doc sorts her out.

    Got work 9 - 3 today and I'm tired before I start lol I really want to go back to bed, maybe there's something in the air as a few of us are groggy today :confused: Oooh! while it pops in there (my brain) - has anyone heard from G&B she hasn't posted for a while. I've left a note for teenie to do the kitchen again, it didn't get done yesterday.

    Sleepy cat is still sleepy, she's had a feed tho and half-heartedly tried to run around my bed (she's sooooooo not allowed) she's perkier than she was tho.

    Started stripping the wallpaper last night so have to finish that off when I get in, do a bit of tidying too and hopefully send my trousers back so that's 2 things off the challenge list, if only I could find it.

    Found it...

    Soappie - on your way to Toots and back you could do a royal tour of all the rest of us:D It definitely makes MoneySaving sense:rotfl:

    It looks like it's turning out that way jackywhizz - it would be a shame not to call in at as many people as I could. I could do a blog about it all then turn it into a travel book!

  • Good Morning All

    Have finally woken up - having slept for since I got in from work/food shop at 7.30pm last night. Have spent a really nice 45 mins catching up with the thread - well skim read most of it because you all write loads and seem to be so busy!!

    Firstly I would like to apologise for not so DD's intrusion at the end of last thread - she has been roundly told off as this are MY friends and the is MY space to sound off about things. I think she got the picture - I was so cross - perhaps more than was needed but that was cos I was knackered yesterday.....

    Secondly - Toots - I have finally read your post and was in tears - I am sorry to here your news - you are such an inspiration as you always give good advice - how do you remember it all!! Also your wish list sounds wonderful!! And who is the mystery man.....?

    Soappie - if you fancy a cup of tea and need a comfort break!!! you could stop here on your soappie's travels.

    Ok - Must stop now as I only have 20 mins to get ready for work - eek!!

    Will post list tonight - promise!

    AnW'sMum and Triker, re No 5 on my list - it's kind of a delicate thing. I think I had got two bad batches of Lillets - they don't come out of the little plastic applicator when they should do, if you see what I mean. I managed to get through 5 the other night before I found one that worked. I know it's not me as I used something else and that worked perfectly, but I went over to Lillets as I found they didn't aggravate my piles at T.O.M. where Tampax does - weird I know.

    I have a rough idea as to what I am going to say, but I am beginning to wonder if it is actually something that I should be sending a complaint in about. DH says I should - in fact that was his first thought. I have the batch numbers and the boxes still just some work and some don't - it's kind of pot luck as to which ones work and which ones don't. :eek: Oooh what a subject to talk about..apologies to any men reading this especially Oddjob..

    Mornin All :j
    Fell off the thread there for a couple of weeks, lots of cr*p going on at home, but bored of thinking and talking about that!!!
    Anyhoo, back on the wagon again, will get the kitchen done at the very least tonite. Also got a ton of ironing (as per usual) and 1000 xmas cards to pack so I can get the money tomorrow. Got an interview today for a weekend cleaning job, so I can start popping some more money off my debts.
    Hope you are all well, haven't been able to catch up on the thread yet but gonna try during work today.
    Hugs to all xxx
