When I open it, it gives me an edit bar at the top of the screen, so hopefully yours does too. However I agree with you that, that is what night shift is for, so maybe relax this week and deal with it when you get back to London. Off to bed now as I've had a busy Granny day today and am working tomorrow x

Sod that if I can do some of it now, I'm right in the mood to pen some more .

Hi, I am a bit of a lurker, althought I think I have popped in once or twice.

I just wanted to add my name to the list of people who have been inspired and motivated by you

Your diary was one of the first ones I read when I started my MSE way of life and reading your journey was inspirational. So, I thank you :A

You have a fantastic way with words and your writing is laugh out loud funny and full of determination and prurpose. If I pm you, please can you send me the rest you've written, I can't wait to read more.

Hi Freeby

Nice of you to join us, welcome along. I've a list of people to send the bare bones of my "book" to today, so you've been added. Should reach you before lunch time if I can get my butt into gear;).

I've been incredibly touched by the amount of people who say my diary inspired theirs. That's a huge boost to how I feel about what I'm doing, and on the days when I feel like having a splurge, or diving head first into buying something I probably don't need, I have a read of them all and reign myself in. It doesn't work all the time I have to say, but I reckon its saved me a few quid:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Right people, the sun is shining in Glasgow and I have a list as long as my debt to get through:o. No excuses today.

Disgustingly the shower is last on my last (you will see why when you see the rest of the list honest:eek:).

1. Email a few people the bits of my book so far
2. Get the bags out of the garage and sort through car boot sale and cash4clothes bags.
3. Do a bit more of the book, particularly cutting and pasting some of my most sarcastic and successful letters into appropriate chapters.
4. Have to text one of my favourite doctors and ask her to witness my statutory declaration to hopefully finalise my Oz registration.
5. Tidy the house in case we have a surprise viewing:eek:
6. Must list ebay to sell, and possibly meddle in facebook sales.
7. Whilst in the garage move the BBQ to my neighbours garage (she is buying this from us:D).
8. Check online banking
9. Whip up a cottage pie for dinner (made an apple pie last night to use up leftover apples - call me Betty Crocker;))
10. Email Singapore Airlines to confirm additional baggage allowance forwarding my visa approval email:D.
11. Email Laithwaites Wine to cancel my wine plan.
12. Print off hubby's CV - he WILL hand it round to the guy round the corner tonight - TRUST ME.
13. Need to find out about getting medicals done before VISA is finalised.
14. Have some stuff to email to WA Health re: last steps of my visa
15. Might even do a few competitions, cos I haven't got enough to do:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Now if I told you that was a snippet of my actual "to do" list, would you want to die?

Never mind, going to get cracking with the emails whilst I'm waiting for the postie, my lovely friend I like to call Pat.:D

BTW gutted, was planning a NSD, but no the bloody butter is done. Now this is all my own fault, as I decided to rustle up an apple pie and impromptu tray of cakes last night. Completely no regard for the fact that sandwiches etc needed to be done today:mad:. Managed to scrape together enough to do DS packed lunch.

On the subject of Cole, I love him:lovethoug. He's a little magpie. Walking round to school and he spots 10p and ran to pick it up. He also found 20p under my bed, and a £1 in M&S on Saturday morning. Think he should hang around with Mum a bit more:A.

Well my Doctor friend (who was recently made a Consultant because she is fab:D) replied very promptly more than happy to do it. Actually she is also asking when we can do lunch, which is leading my budget astray:).

Never mind she says its her treat because I'm leaving:money:.

Sent all the copies of the book out to those who wanted it......waiting for pointers hopefully not disappointment.

The bank balance isn't bad considering I'm still due £380-400 on Thursday for bank money. Our balance is £572.89 in credit, I'm still waiting on £600 deposit from the London house, hubby is still working casual this week for £80 a day and thinks he should be working most if not all of the week. £81.20 child benefit went in today which is great because I was dreaming about it at 4am this morning:p.

All this and Jeremy Kyle is only just finished:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Off to see what the postie just shovelled through my door.

I don't like the postie. He doesn't feed my desire for excitement anymore. A farmfoods leaflet (which I think I've already had), and a Virgin Media sales tat letter.:(

Oh dear, think I've turned into an adrenaline junkie, which doesn't sit well with my slovenly lifestyle.:eek:
