Also we've started looking at other houses, there is a reasonable bungalow in another village, lots of space although its bizarre to me to have a house with no stairs.

Just think though, you won't have to hoover the stairs! Bliss! Check out the possibility of converting the loft into extra rooms too. When I was young I always wanted an attic room with sloping ceilings, I think I wanted to be like Sara Crewe in A Little Princess!

Off to find my hat, scarf, gloves and thermal undies now... I have no idea where it all is though! Hope I find some warm stuff or I'll freeze!

Hi Girlies (and boyies!) Had a lovely holiday, even managed a day in Blackpool! The lodge was perfect - would suggest the park to any of you up North that just want a weekend away! Even braved the hot tub and decided I want to live in one, do an Ian Beale and get myself a little floaty thing for my chips Lots of time for thinking too (not something I do often ) so I've got my challenges for 2010 almost planned out.

So sorry to hear about your friend Flower I hope it all went well and you're feeling better today & I hope you're okay too minnime

Have decided to drop bingoport now with the new redeem rules.

Me and OH were talking about this when we were away - it just isn't worth it anymore! Might have to re-think my voucher challenge because of it.

Lara - Present wise I got OH a Diesel 'Only the Brave' giftset, but the holiday was really pushing the boat out and a little over budget so we classed that as a present to each other aswell. I'm sure you'll think of something Hope all is going well with the house!

Your website looks UH-MAZ-ING btw Dinah, I completely love your paintings! Sadly I have zero space in my room for one! Well done on selling some of your prints too - must be a pretty fab feeling.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend Off to catch up on other threads and read this weeks email!

Thanks Cinny.

I was horrified to learn today NIM has NEVER had a stocking. So priority number one is putting that right. I am very stressed about doing a full Christmas shop for a stocking in two weeks - I hate the shops! So if anyone knows of any bargains online for a few quid, ideally from places with free delivery, that'd be grand!

I would suggest yourself in stockings would be cheaper and more enjoyable all round!:o

Sorry

Lol! Good plan! Actually thats made me think of another site I ought to visit to find stocking stuffers....

But seriously, no, I can't believe he has never had a stocking and I need to fix this! Just bought some bits on amazon, which despite coming from sellers it still took out my voucher stash - yey! Although I'm now way below the £100 I wanted to be at for the sales.

This place is going down hill tonight. Have you ladies been at the wine again? NIM - Need a boy night down the pub?

Dinah93

NIM says the first round is on you Poolie

Cinny91

Not me Poolie *hic* Drank enough last week, I never want to see another bottle of wine for as long as I live Well.. until Christmas anywho.

Can't believe NIM has never had a stocking! Most supermarkets (well, Asda + Morrisons) are doing bottles of Lynx body wash for £1 - and they aren't shops as such!

Dinah93

Aye I've done a bit of an online blitz this evening and ordered a load of things, but will hit a supermarket for some teeny treets sometime this week

Hi everyone - just though i would pop on to let you know everything went reasonably okay yesterday. Managed to get about half eway through my speech, i looked over at the coffin saw a picture of the 5 of us close friends together and just broke down. The priest took over reading, but overall it was a nice service. Very difficult, but in a way has helped bring some clossure.

Thank you for all the kind messages, it really does mean a lot.
