    Haha, me too! I'd just kind of stand in the doorway holding my breath. It's dangerous looking at that website for places to stay - I think I'd be too chicken to stay in most though, thinking they were haunted! :rotfl: Although you can stay in the House of Correction ooerr!

    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Oh Wendz, why must you torture me so??? You're so lucky to live so near an outlet... if I did I'd easily be about 3 stone heavier!

    Haha we used to have them all the time as they always get them for peoples birthdays but a girl I work with just got them yesterday. We are always getting treats no wonder i have put weight on.

    Treats at my work have dried up a bit recently, mostly because the main baker has retired and no-one else bothers apart from birthdays, if they remember to bring anything in!

    Tete and Flower, are you the ones starting on Christmas cards already? Go here- http://www.papercraftinspirationsmagazine.co.uk/page/papercraft?catname=/FREE and they've got nice Christmassy papers to download for free! Be cheeky like me and print them off on work's flashy laser printer for a nice shiny finish (shhh! ;) )

  • Work has been so busy today, thursdays are a really bad day for me. I have listed a few more items on ebay this evening. They are cheap 99p starter price but it all adds up and is all stuff I don't want. DD has got a few of the baby's things on to get a bit of extra money. We are expecting friends round this weekend but I am hoping to list more over the weekend. Thank crunchie it's Friday tomorrow.

    Jealous of the Bruges trip! Having to counteract the itch by searching for cottages in Cornwall for next year, got 1k to play with for the cottage so trying to find something completely over the top.

    Why do youo have such a big budget, this a big family trip?

    I know!!! You can buy a box of 12 Krispy Cremes for £7!!! Mmmm, Krispy Creme... I need a trip back to Chorley!

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Krispy Cremes? They just taste like bland fluffy fat!

    What is your degree in again Flower?

    Got my Amazon Vine newsletter tonight - chose a Max Factor liquid eyeliner and a Max Factor Mascara this month.

    Tete I dug that Italian course out but its CD not tape :(

    It missed off some of my quotes, but one thing I remember was books and Ebay. Basically, I don't. I only use amazon for books as its easier to list, and no fee unless it sells, and it stays lised for 90 days.

    Degree is in criminology. Just spent the evening filling out a rediculously long application form for in a police station - and thats just a volunteering role!! But might help get a bit more experience behind me.
    Working in retail at the minute, and im happy to continue doing that for the time being but just need some more hours. Its trying to split my time evenly between earning money and volunteering - which could potentially increase my earnings in the future.
