    Morning all

    Just took DH for a walk to the bakers, coming back was a bit of a nightmare but he refused to take the chair...stubborn muppet that he is :D

    Intirim payment cheque has just arrived so need to pop to the bank in a bit and get that in - going to be lazy and take the bus though as my sciatica is giving me gip today and it's all up hill. I must admit that takes so much stress off my shoulders knowing that the bills will be paid for the next 3 months, the overdrafts will be clear and 2 cards will be gone :j

    Really autumnal here today, bit overcast but chilly and crisp.


    natural that you should feel relieved hun... i'm chuffed for you.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Morning all.

    Today I'm going to post a book I've sold on Green Metropolis, and write and post a f&f letter to Cabot. There's the tenants and residents meeting tonight, but I'm not sure I'm up to returning to that yet, I haven't been for months. It's the AGM next week, so I might just go to that and rejoin as a normal member, after emailing a few people to see if they'll have me back, I've kinda let them down over the last few months.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Good news Pooky, glad you can relax a bit about money and concentrate on getting the right help for your hubby.

    yeah, but did you! lol!

    :D I've been really VERY well behaved for quite a long time now...I was seeing Mr Sunday from June - September, and have only had one date since, which didn't involve any removal of knickers!

    I have been chatting online quite a lot to a friend of someone I used to work with years ago though. He's asked me to go for a drink with him and I'd like to, but can't seem to find a night when we are both free and have childcare. He seems to be quite happy to be patient, which is good because the last thing I need at the moment is to feel under pressure. Nice guy though, and cuuuute! :)

    It was fairly tenuous admittedly! :rotfl: But ingenious, no? :D

    Where did you get your tights from Becky? I still have to visit Primark to look at theirs but keep seeing nice ones in magazines and stuff...

    Bookie - pick one thing that you should have done yesterday and do it today. Otherwise you'll get to the evening with that horrible sense of not having accomplished anything. If you get more than one thing done, great. If not, at least you have still made some progress.

    I will pledge to paint my windowsill today if you pledge to do something too... ;):D

    I pledge to go back to bed. :o
    Got the washing in cos I thought the wind would dry it. Now it's flipping raining.
    Ran out of coal now. Not having a good week so far. :D
