    What time's the party? I'll be the nominated driver - need to set off for the coast around 5am so need to stay sober. :rotfl:

    Had a lovely afternoon with friend and DD2 on the deck putting the world to rights (JSA exterminated). Prepared all the veg for Sunday roast when I get back tomorrow.

    DD2 returning for Come Dancing in a bit and then an earlyish nite.

    :kisses3:Ah thanks Sammy...the weight thing I kind of did ages ago though just have to keep getting back on every now and then!

    just blooming think 31k of debt..makes me want to cry really, when we sold our house we used all the equity to pay off debts approx £25k :o:(
    Embarrassed and annoyed at how stupid I have been really!

    56k of debt :eek: and sod all to show for it!

  • Sounds like a plan Bun!

    I had a slightly scary experience while dog walking neighbours labrador earlier..Jess waded into pond, and I didn't want lead to get wet, so dashed after her(as I had let go of lead in error),only to find the mud round the pond was quick-sand like, and nearly 3 ft deep!!! I rapidly sunk up to knees,and was heading for mid-thigh level,and totally stuck-it was like glue.Luckily DD was with me, and not in mud so she pottered around and found some branches,which we lay on the ground close to me, and I wriggled out snake-like on my belly on the branches. Had to leave expensive wellies in mud,then turn myself round and head back out to mud and pull said wellies out-I wasn't leaving them there! Staggered home looking like a swamp creature and straight into the bath....a bit scary really, and good job DD was with me....
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    Jesus Christ I work every night on some thing school related - making powerpoints, research learning the new specs thinking up ideas, making display lettering (took !!!!ing ages) but she assumes cos I am on the laptop I am doing sod all.

    And what did she work as?

  • Buffy -breath- Mothers are sent to try us....

    I think its mostly I have wasted the day and I am feeling guilty but she has been looking forward to watching merlin and I whilst I could clean out the fish tanks I think she will be upset if I bog off now. GRRRRRRRR.

    She goes away in two weeks for six weeks and I will miss her then! Its always like this just before she goes away. I don't what her to go but I do want to get on with things.

    Nevertheless she persisted.
