    Morning all! I'm still tired after having a shower the day before yesterday. So I'm going back to bed in a min. Got to go to Scarborough tonight to pick up the tent and some boxes of stuff I've still got at dad's - he wants all our stuff out of his house so he can actually get into the spare room and loft!

    Weather's rubbish, I've given up all hope of it being nice for Leeds fest, so I'm going to have to buy some wellies, I think asda do them fairly cheap. Don't have a waterproof coat either, but my winter one'll do I think, and I've got a couple of umbrellas. Also have lots of alcohol so I probably wont care anyway!

    Good morning peeps. Weather is crap up here in Newcastle. Typical when me and OH got 3 days off work! Think we might hunt through the 2for1 vouchers on here and then go to Durham for lunch and a mooch around! And then later on figure what to make with the absolute glut of Victoria plums I have from my 2 plum trees which have gone beserk! Made a Plum and cinnamon crumble last night which was lush!

    I did really well with the Nails Inc offer - ordered 2, was charged for 2 - and got 4 :j They sent me 2 of each colour l ordered so going to use 2 as a b'day pressie for a friend - doubly MSE :D

    Ooh that's good! :T The one they've sent me by mistake is OK actually but hoping they might offer to send me the right one free or something - made a bit of a fuss about it being my first order with them and being very disappointed they'd got it wrong. I think I might be a bit bored today :rotfl:

    Thanks IA, but it wouldn't get here in time. Might take a couple of bin bags though and cut a head hole in them! I'll be sitting on the disabled platform so it's not too bad, my winter coat'll do for keeping me warm and dry.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hi everyone - having a great day today - doing nothing - well reading the weekly email, chilling on here etc -and no phone call from the dreaded estate agents yet - so hopefully will have the day off from people trampling around.
    Ooooh hi IA -:hello: haven't seen you for ages - glad you're still around and loving your avatar (is that what they are called) - hope the girls are well and you are enjoying the CAB stuff.
