I seem to have lost my last post, I can't really remember what I typed but he goes and sorry if it is a repeat.

DD and baby have moved back in for the next two weeks until they clean and paint their new house. It is rather rough, so her and her OH are trying to get it all sorted.

I am making the little pink person a patchwork cot quilt for christmas, shhh don't tell her.

Hello staria!

Rote that is so sweet.

Hope your work weren't too cross Dinah - how did they not realise you weren't in? Wallies.

CMD hope you have a brilliant time in Oz, you must be well excited.

The financial advisor from the housing association has left a message on my phone! Yay, on to the next stage. If we pass this, then our offer is accepted and we have definitely got it. Eeek

Have a good day everyone!

Ooh, brilliant news Lara - what's the time frame then?

ROTE - love the sound of the patchwork quilt, I'd love to make one myself! You'll have to post a pic when it's done!

How's the head today Dinah? Hope work were ok in the end!

Hi Lara,

How exciting for you! I really hope you pass this stage.

Yes, am so excited about Oz now. Just need to get the last few bits and pieces and we will be sorted

Morning!

Great news about the house Lara! How exciting!

We have new upstairs neighbours and they’re horrid. This morning I happened to look at the grass in front of our patio door and it is covered in cigarette ends, one was still smoking! I marched over, stamped it out and glared up at their window on my way to the car; I just hope that they saw me! The corridor stinks of cigarette smoke too, it is rank. I’m going to ring the HA people today and moan about it. I’m in a moany mood this week, I spent over an hour on the phone to BT last night to sort out the broadband and they kept moving me between departments and cutting me off, by the 5th call I was pre-empting all of their questions and growling at them, especially when they said they needed to run a line check and get back to me, they’d already done it 3 times and I knew what the problem was! Poor guy seemed a little shocked when I shouted that at him but they sent me a text at 2am saying it was fixed so it must have worked!

How’s your grand-daughter doing ROTE? How old is she now? More importantly, are you getting her one of those cute Christmas pudding baby suits to wear on Christmas day?!

Are you feeling better today Dinah? Have you sent NIM in to your work to apologise?!

It's a joke isn't it? BT can't even transfer a call within their own company without cutting you off yet I'm trusting them to provide me with my phoneline?! I told them last night that I was just going to jack it in and move to Virgin!

Ugh, what a pain - I really don't think these people understand the concept of 'customer service'... Sorry to hear about horrid new neighbours too Even if they didn't feel the full force of your glare this morning, I hope it made you feel a bit better!

Lara, that's exciting news - it all seems to be progressing quite rapidly! Will keep my fingers crossed.

ETA: I lost 1.5lbs this week - hurrah for fat club!

Dinah93

So, my weigh in has me at a 2lb gain, knew the scales lied last week! Think I need to invest in some digital ones.

Boss wasn't too yelly, but not happy with me at all.

So what have you done for homework class Tete? My book is still nowhere near up to date, and nothing is pinned and cut out. I'm gonna get the dunce hat.
