    Hope you get your monies soon. I don't understand house buying so just can't see why they can't give you the cash now, where does a loan come on? On the mortgage?

    Did I hear there was a party happening over this weekend?

    And does this explain the radio silence???

    Morning one and all. Have been away for a few days with my DD to the seaside. We had an absolutely fab time although I spent wayyyyyyyyy to much money.

    The party Saturday was brilliant, had a lovely time and didn't drink too much :p so nice to have all my nieces and nephews together.

    I am off work this work so just chilling with DD and having breakfast at the moment, we aren't even dress yet :o

    Have my two nieces over for a sleepover today, so I will be in charge of three kids under 7 :eek:. We're off to the cinema to watch Ice Age 3 then may take a trip to the golden arches :rotfl:

    If you go for option B I always found a quarter pounder with cheese meal with an extra cheeseburger tied on to be quite filling...

    Burp!
