Comments

  • Hi everyone!! Just quickly popping in to say hi!!!:j

    Have finished my eight long days at work and now it is the weekend!:j

    It is now the point of the month were I disappear for a few days to get all the competitions done that end on the 30th done!! Always find doing this rather fruitful but does take a bit of time and effort!!

    So will be back and catch up when I have got that done!

    Have a great weekend everyone x x x x
    Thank you to all posters:beer:

    And I need some ideas from all you clever helpful people!!

    Next Friday me & DH are off to Butlins for our 80s weekend, and I am still not sorted for our fancy dress :eek: Obviously I have no spare money :rolleyes: to buy or hire costumes, so can anyone suggest anything fairly simple that I could throw together???

    Few ideas, maybe some of your local charity shops will have something -

    Stonewash skinny jeans
    Layered/ra'ra skirt's
    Flourescent / loud colours
    Bright coloured t-shirts/spandex & leggins (think Fame)
    Shoulderpadded blouse/jacket (Dynasty etc)
    Big earrings/necklaces
    Big hairsprayed/punk hair
    loads of eyeshadow

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    :j:j I managed to 'escape' from work early :j:j

    Sorry to hear about the interview Candy - hope you find something you like soon.

    Just about to cook supper

    Trying to think what to wear to a wedding tomorrow :confused: Work has been too manic to spare the time to go shopping. I have a nice enough dress, but my only pair of heels has fallen apart :eek: (though in fairness they are very old - I can't walk in many pairs, due to extreme clumsiness - but can hobble around in these, or at least I could before the soles fell off :eek:) I am envious of your stiletto dexterity Fay :rotfl:


    Oh well, I'm sure nobody will be looking at my feet anyway, so I will just wear something comfy.

    Have a nice evening everyone :hello:

    Just a few things for me today:
    - worked hard at the office (phew! - they are getting good value from me lately)
    - checked banking - same old, same old
    - scratchies and clicks
    - no heating
    - meals from whatever I can find in the house !
    - No Spend Day
    - checked for freebies
    - used some more freebie toiletries
    - made a big list of things to get sorted this weekend (to keep me out of trouble and focussed - nothing very exciting, but things I've been putting off)
    - checked CCCS website
    - smoked less so as to delay the need to buy tobacco until tomorrow - eek !
    - used free texts to keep in touch
    - will read tonight for free entertainment
    - given DS his pocket money
    - took makeshift lunch to work

    Think that's it

    :)
