    Ok. I have a slight problem DD1 and SIL took my suitcase to Australia. First time it was used as KLM broke mine and replaced it. It has a combination lock which they have set and neither of them is answering the phone. :eek:


    no obvious comninations, wedding date... his/hers DOB?

    just get everything you want to pack piled up and beside the case... the actual putting of stuff into the case will take seconds....

    you can do that later when they get back to you.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    I got AA membership renewal thru today (bought it much cheapness last year, nectar points/quidco etc etc think it cost me next to nowt!), called to cancel it as roadside and relay for me and mum was going to be £130... now getting it for £50, which i think is worth it for peace of mind....

    remember beanie, driving to manchester thinking,well it's okay cause we're covered with AA! so reassuring!

    Maz, have you spoken to BT about the connection charge? I switched to them a couple of months ago and it was on offer at £30 instead of £120, and they had the option to spread it over your first six months bill. Otherwise Virgin install for free, but I think they're the devil's IP and wouldn't touch them with a bargepole agian.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Ooh,what was the job Toria??

    Its an assitants job, but its a totally new role so i get to decide exactly what the job entails!! Means i can make it as much as I want to and get overtime! woohoo!! Ive got everything crossed I get it as i love the thought of it and being able to put my own mark on it.....they even said theres a possibility that i may need my own assitant if the role gets as big as they think it will!!
    Time to get things sorted once and for all......

    Afternoon peeps :wave:

    Cold has settled in nicely. Have one of those scratchy sore throats that makes everything taste weird.

    Haven't seen my husband for 3 days - he leaves for work before I wake up and comes home after I am asleep:eek::mad::eek:

    Took parcel to Post Office Sammy so should arrive tomorrow or Friday

    About to have a nice bowl of comfort food - mild curry supernoodles :drool: while the wee man sleeps.

    FIL coming for a visit this afternoon. Think I might faint with shock:p

    hey, he's doing better than my dad, you know, the one who lives 4 miles up the road but hasn't been to see his 8 month old granddaughter yet :rolleyes:

    enjoy the supernoodles and the wee man's nap.
