Hi 
You're all a bit late again.
Today I have taken DD2 to work and am preparing to go volunteer at County Office - free heating.
Went to Jobcentre yesterday and have to go back this afternoon for 13 week interview. Don't they realise that people have things to do - like playing bejewelled, farming and wallowing in self pity?
My friend from America is over and is taking me for dinner tonight - bang goes the diet started yesterday. But it would be rude to turn down a free meal wouldn't it?

Lovely to see you Bookie, you have been missed xx
I agree on the evening out with your friend, free meal means the calories dont count either.......so I have heard;)But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Bookie is baaaack! :T
Goodness, has it been 13 weeks already? Free heating and free meal both sound good - sod the diet, dinner with friends is supposed to be good for your soul, not your body!

Welcome back Bookie :kisses3: Have a great evening, you deserve it...
:j Someone started the daily chat ~ thanks Bookie. I have been sat here alone since 6.30am
Nothing much happening today for me. I am trying to finish a christmas gift but its the hardest part. Other than that I am going to stay in my room all day. I have been ignored for two days running in this house and if they think I am doing the cleaning this week they have another thing coming
Really fancy some crumpets today too :mad: :rotfl:
Have a great day all :beer:0 -
Morning all!
Have fun tonight bookie - should be nice to catch up - is this one you stayed with in Atlanta or a different one??
I dont have much to do after work today except collect my new laptop battery and go for a run but am busy enough here for the rest of the day to feel a bit rushed!
Mmmmm crumpets - wow havent had those for ages!0 -
Yes it is my Atlanta friend. :j She is only here for a week and I have to be squeezed in between relatives. That's why we both prefer it when I go over there - loads of time to chat and no-one has to drive.

I applied for 3 jobs yesterday. 1 was for Boots Christmas staff - they rejected me by return e-mail saying no vacancies. Their loss really.
Off to Leicester now - will log on from there.
Have fun

'No vacancies' isn't a rejection as such hun, or rather it's not YOU they are rejecting. It must be very disheartening, but you are doing well to keep plugging away."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

Ey up gang

hope we're all fine'n'dandy today
Seem to have loads to do at the mo, but it's all good stuff so worth doing....better than a funeral tomorrow, at least
B-I-L's M-I-L's funeral, so can't get out of it really... ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple

morning all -
hi bookie love..!
Pap - don't let the b*ggers get to you, stick to your guns and lay off the crumpets you skinny minx!
Well i got the keys to the new house yesterday, it's great but it's hardly in move in condition as the housing officer suggested!!
it's nice, nothing that you couldn't live with in the short term, but loads that needs doing. Great carpets throughout (hooray!!!) but they are filthy! mum us getting carpet cleaner from my sisters today and we're gonna give it a going over in the nest few days... hope to be moved in properly by the weekend...
Big G is taking erin to football training tonight and is being all reasonable and helpful... long may it continue...
i had a wobble on the phone to golferman last night.... feeling all lonely i suppose and even the new house which is gonna keep me so busy between now and Xmas wasn't shifting the mood... told him how i was feeling and heard a few things i wanted to hear... with hindsight i think it's just hormones as this is the first break in packets since i started on the pill....
feeling better this morning tho...
have just ordered new washing machine and cooker .... so technically am in debt again but am paying them off out of my deposit from old flat when i get it back!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
You could always invite your chums round for a painting/housewarming party.

Glad Golferman managed to say the right things. Blimey, a man that can do that!!! Didn't think they existed! :rotfl: I'm sure it will just be hormonal, because I get relationship wobbles every totm (when I'm IN a relationship that is!)."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
Hi all, :waves:
Enjoy the meal Bookie. You're allowed to fall off of the diet band wagon every now and again!
Yeah that you've got the keys.
I'm having one of those days today, I'm firstly having to spoon feed people on how to do their jobs!!! :eek: Plus stuff isn't falling into place for Christmas vehicle requirements for some of our large customers!!! I want to hide under my desk!
Anyway on a lighter note,I'm making millionaires shortbread tonight and yes I'll share some with you!
