    Red - any chance I can nab the top ones - neclance and bracelet as I have the perfect dress to go with. Can pay postage by bank trans once you know how much it'll be?

    Ghost - keep the receipts for the dentist and hygienist and get the form to get them refunded. Can also do it with scripts until the cert comes through. Which reminds me, I need to apply for mine (which I've done online 3 times in as many weeks and still no forms!)

    Managed to return the game, get to the dr's, get my script (dr was moaning saying the dosage amount changes but it hasn't - it's still 250mg a day split up) put a load of washing on, rejoined the library (after paying a £6 fine that was my fault) got some books, bought Breaking Dawn (as I have all the rest and the set wouldn't feel right - and read it too - is bookworm lady - if you have any thriller/crime/true crime books needing a home, give me a shout and I'll see if I haven't got them already) spent the refund on a top, leggings and handbag for tomorrow night, got some new makeup (Superdrug - 3 for 2 on lots of brands) got home and FINALLY sat down for a bit!

    Elfen, I have LOADS of books, of all genres, to rehome. I'm going to work out a list of them all sometime when I can be bothered, so I'll let you know if there's any you might like.

    Student's don't automatically get a HC1 thing, I filled one in and still had to pay everything because I was getting Housing Benefit, so my costs weren't high enough and they said I had enough money. Although apparantly being on a means tested benefit should have meant that they passed it straight through. My housemate didn't qualify either, but he was dead rich, his parents had bought the house for him, and he ran his own business. They do make mistakes though, so appeal if you can.

    I went into Headingley, I'd seen a book in a charity shop a few weeks ago. I was pretty sure it'd still be there next time I went, since it's studentville and they're probably the last people to buy books! I was right, it was still there. Can't wait to read it - Final Reckoning by Sam Bourne, I loved his first two.

    Going to have a nap now.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Sammy - ketones in wee is what we prayed for when we were CDing wasnt it. Is she eating well?

    I've just spilt a boiling hot coffee all over my boobalage area. It's very red and sore :eek:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    sammy - think she may be in early labour! You'll be a nana soon!

    red - you are a star! even though I looked at the Private Messaging bit thinking "how do I send a message" - didn't even see the bit on one side!

    ames - i'm not really meant to get anymore books, or OH thinks the house will look like the library time forgot! But i NEED them, so he will have to deal with another book box under the bed!

    Plenty of coolness on it Spud, soak a flannel or something as it keeps burning even after you have removed the cause. Or you could run about outside with no top on to cool yourself:D

    Sounds like DD is in the early stages Samster, she will know when it kicks in for sure;)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
