    Argh I can't go at all in those hours! Actually tell a lie, I'm on a one day course in Boro on Tuesday that finishes at 3pm, I can go then.

    Went on the website, seems the course is fully booked now as you can't enroll online for that one any more.

    Dinah & Tete - Have you got the plasters ready for when you keep pricking your fingers. You might need a glass of wine to recover as well.

    That sounds like loads of fun! The course and buying fabrics and possibly the wine (:D), not the pricking fingers though...

    It's been quite quiet on here today! No DOTDs? Loved the venue though, but November is a bit soon - you'd miss out on the fun planning and build up.

    I love a good build up, that's one of my favourite things about Christmas (oops, there's the 'c' word again!) with all the late night shopping, baking, soirees, mulled wine etc - I'm quite excited now! How many days did you say it was...?

    I love build ups too , although sometimes they are better than the real thing haha.

    Had to leave work earlty as OH managed to leave his key at work and was locked out, silly thing.
  • Hi All, Nice and Monacco was great, 32 degrees in the shade. I have been back to school for three day with only two days with pupils and I am already stressed out OMG. I made over £37 in sales last weekend on ebay. OH said he will take over all the listings, the wrapping and posting which will be great. So far he has only wrapped and posted but I have him in full training.
    Total debt Feb 2012 = £54354.11 😳

    Urgh I hate being the 'breadwinner'. If I had a lower wage I could afford to just quit and do something else, but we need my wage. This is one of the roughest work days I think I've ever had, just so many lying, difficult, rude people. Someone find me a job!
    Oh lord knows I feel the same way. I feel so much pressure on me, I worry that it is all down to me to carry things.

    Hello all! I haven't forgotten you all I've just been super busy! Didn't get out of work till after 5.30 *again*! Thing's aren't going super well, I hope it settles down quickly!

    Went out for a dirty great big steak tonight with a few work mates, was soooo nice! I'm so full now... I have got a little bar of chocolate looking at me in case I need something sweet though...

    By the way, I went to a wedding fair at Solberge Hall with my brother's fiance and it looks nice on photos but it's a bit shabby around the edges! SIL2B's sister has been to a wedding there too and said that they took the you-know-what with drinks prices! November is too soon too if you don't want Irish Mammy throwing logs at you during the ceremony!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
