    SRM, I've got a quote from you on my FB. Someone asked me who 'SRM' was the other day (because I credited you, lol), and I said 'ohhhh that's a secret'. :D

    It was from when I first split up from Dave, aka Shrek, and you said 'Women are from Mars, men are from some kind of primeval swamp...' :rotfl:

    Maybe I will just carry on earning my own money like I do now....:rotfl:

    plus tax credits go on till a child is 20 if they are still in full time education..

    thats why I force my child to go to college and fork out £156 per term for bus fares.......£450 per year....much more than the bloomin tax credits....:o

    Her brother's op is today she said - I know she was really scared, poor love, just wondered if she'd been in touch with anyone to say if he was out of theatre yet.

    Evening all

    (I've had the computer on all day but just not had a blimming chance to post until now)!

    Had a look at old JW's piccie on FB and agree totally with Toto and Snaggles - an oil painting he certainly ain't (unless we're talking Picasso on Ecstasy)!

    Been fairly busy today went to story time at the local library then baby massage and in between did three loads of clothes washing (and dried two - third is still on the line) and dishes washing!

    Took my old laptop (new well before 1999) into the computer repair shop and asked the guy how much to supe it up so I can surf the web with it. Bad news was that it isn't worth doing so I'm now on the lookout for something small with wifi so I can surf the web on an evening and sit in the same room as Wayne and ignore each other. Really don't want to spend a fortune on one though!

    Lou - hope it's good news for your brother!
