My friends little sister is doing a gig as she sings in a little band so am going to that tonight (if i make it and the traffic isn't too bad). Then I am just seeing my family/OHs family at the weekend. Get to see OHs nieces yay they are so cute.

    I'm packing this weekend! And running into town to pick up everything I've forgotten! :)

    I'm also going to a designer clothes clearance sale thingy at the Yorkshire Showground tomorrow with a friend, we went last week and wondered why we couldn't get in... and then saw the sign saying it was this weekend! Oops!

    When do you go Birdie, Monday?

    My plans for the weekend include a very large glass or two of wine this evening, am having a horrible day! Also going to bake OH a victoria sponge as he's away at uni today in Northampton so will have a very long drive either tonight or in the morning, going to try my hand at some Hummingbird Red Velvet cupcakes too. Nothing else planned, hoping to maybe possibly book Bruges if we can get our acts together!

    Afternoon everyone.

    Just got back from work and had the morning from hell!! Manager now seems to have taken it personally that i am moving elsewhere. Oh well was my last day with them, and if thats how he wants to behave he can get on with it.

    Managed to transfer £50 to savings, but cant find the other internet banking details to pay some of the credit card, will have to see if OH knows where they are.

    Im sorry you didnt get the dress Birdie!

    Sorry your last day at work was rubbish Flower, it seems a little childish of your boss to act badly on your last day and leave a bad memory of the company with you!

    I fly at 9.15am on Tuesday Tete, I can't wait!

    OH was a bit odd when I saw him at lunch, muttering about being glum after spending the morning with his brother and not wanting to discuss it at work... then saying his head hurt and he didn't know if it was a headache or a 'burden'! What's going on?!?!

    That is a bit odd with your OH, maybe your brother told him something that he has done/is doing and now your OH has got involved as he knows. I don't know , could be nothing!

    We are having a crises afternoon at work, which is just great on a Friday.

    That sounds strange Birdie! Was it your OH's brother who had an issue about bringing someone to your wedding? Or have I got confused somewhere!

    Hope you feel better soon Cinny :)

    You must book Bruges Tete! :D Is your day getting any better? The wine tonight sounds like a good plan! ;)

    I don't have much planned for the weekend - it's rubbish weather at the mo and OH doesn't want to go swimming so we're gonna pop out in the morning to get the Sanctuary gifts from Boots, and some cat food then spend the afternoon watching The Bucket List! I want to spend the whole afternoon watching films but OH has already said he's bringing his PS3 round so I guess I'll be tidying up or something! :rolleyes:

    He's bringing his PS3 round to your house? That's shocking - he should be wanting to spend quality time with you!

    Day got a bit better thanks Zig, meeting which was supposed to last til 4.30 just finished and was relatively painless but I really have had the day from hell otherwise, still looking forward to that Vino! I was going to try and get the stuff I needed for baking with the money in my purse and not spend anything else today, but I really need the wine and have only got £10 so going to have to spend extra...

    Birdie, how exciting!! And how strange too about OH's brother, hope it's nothing too serious.

    To be honest I don't know why OH bothers coming round! He hates sitting in and watching films and stuff, but doesn't mind if he's on the PS3! :rolleyes: And if he crashes on his game, he blames me cuz I was talking lol.

    When I decide to do baking, it always seems to add up to loads! I've now got a little baking box so I don't need to buy so many ingredients. Let us know how the red velvet cupcakes go cuz I was thinking about trying them.

    Good that your meeting finished early! I had a uni gallery visit today which finished 2 hours early which was nice. I wouldn't mind going again though with OH to look around properly and on our own.
