The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

Urgh I feel fluey. Hot and cold and stiff back and neck and achey limbs. Want my bed.

Called the orthodontist, since it has been a month since I was supposed to be refered. They had me down as living at number 2, not number 3, so no wonder I haven't recieved a letter from them! The people at number 2 don't like us much after we
1) Accidentally stole their gardening award
2) Crashed a helicopter over their house on Christmas Day
3) Set fire to their bush that hangs over the fence when dad was 'gardening'
4) Shot a firework over the fence that exploded on top of their conservatory
5) Covered the road in front of their house in oil from NIMs leaky sump
6) Came and searched their garden last weekend after Pushie escaped and made a fairly successfull bid for freedom into their garden and hid in a flowerbed.
I think I need to take them a cake to say sorry! Actually, they're number 1.... number 2 are across the way and they like us just fine!

Anyway, have my appointment at the orthodontist booked. Saturday the 10th October. They had no weekday appointments before then... which is odd! My regular dentist can't be gotten hold of at lunchtimes, after 4pm or on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and this one works through to Saturday evenings, very odd. Knowing my luck its one of my brothers secret girlfriends parents, they'll clock the surname and I'll spend 2 years in agony.

You're funny when you're fluey!! I let out a stifled snort of laughter in an otherwise silent office :rotfl:

Worryingly I have no idea what part of that could be found amusing....??? I'm gonna go nap in the loos.

Oh dear I have a feeling they may be my best friend's parents, they live in that village and won a gardening award quite recently I think. Don't know the address though, only how to get to it!

Erm, so it's not-so-secret then?

Oh the gardening award was 3 or 4 years ago. We didn't mean to take it, we were confused when we were given it in fact given our garden is exemplary in growing grass and thats about it.

Well, they think they went on one date about 2 years ago and they were not happy about it. The mum has suspicions they have seen one another since. They've actually been going out for over two years and my brother sneaks into their house whenever they are at work!

For those of you who are looking for veggy growing mags try Grow your Own, its fabulous and very straight forward, the trouble with the other mags is lots of advice about flowers...no good if you want only veggys/fruit!

Ahh hope you feel better soon. I still have my cold, can't breathe today. Very annoying!

Ah OK, their house was only built about two years ago. Lots of good gardeners round your way then!

That's such a sad situation for your bro and his girlfriend

ETA - Why am I NEVER ill? I'd love a few days off work to snuggle up in bed with a book but I'm so damn healthy!

Ooh you've all got me looking on Etsy now, so many nice things!!

Need to up our money making now, as OH and i have decided to join the gym. Its 58 pound a month for both of us - with use of gym,swimming pool, tennis courts and squash courts. So my aim is to make that money every month so we're no worse off (iyswim)

Oh I won't be getting time off, my boss is in today and she sounds appauling. No voice, cough, flushed, nose running, and shes here, I'm not going anywhere unless i'm unconcious. If I get really ropey I'll get dad to bring me rather than drive, but I'm still coming.

Tickets for Birmingham have come down in price a bit, now £84 for the two of us if we get the 18-25 rail cards. While it'll cost about £25 more than driving, paying parking for 3 days in the center of Birmingham is going to be about that if not more. I get very car sick, so would rather go on a train where I can read for 3 hours in luxury.

£58 a month isn't bad Flower, is there a tie in? NIM and I can't wait for our gym membership to finish, worst idea we ever had!
