5 OS Pleasures in your Day Today part 2

Oh no, Kittikins - fingers crossed for good news soon
Blimey Sparrer - if your day was you being sensible, goodness knows what you're like when you're "full on"
Quiet here today
Today's pleasures
1. Home, with a proper computer rather than blasted phone.
2. DS got himself safely home this morning. We put him on the train at Totnes (I restrained from mummy huggy kissy stuff - not that he'd have let me), he changed at Birmingham and was home by the time we left Devon! A safe introduction to lone travelling for him as we were at one end, DD at the other, a change somewhere he knew and first class all the way. And free, which helps :cool: But he is only just 14 so quite an adventure really. His reaction was it was "alright. Boring really" Bliddy teenagers! :rotfl:
3. OH and I had a leisurely coffee in Totnes, i bought a lovely Fat Face scarf at a knock down price, we bought yummy things for lunch and then went off to
4. yet another NT house. This time High Cross house which is an unusual property for the NT as it is very "modernist".
5. Drive home was a bit boring but not too bad despite the roadworks on the M5. House isn't overly trashed given that DD had friends in for a sleepover last night.
Have a good evening all.I wanna be in the room where it happens0 -
Thought for tomorrow, a wobbleade too far.
Tonight, I will prop the, bar!0 -
Sadly BoP, due to my previous job being so well paid in comparison to either the dole, my current job or my potential teaching job after uni, I can't afford the mortgage as the multiplier is waaaaaaay too high
I'm hopeful that there'll be another buyer shortly, it has only been on the market for a couple of weeks......
1. Not feeling totally p'd off when I got the call that the buyers can't go through with the house....just a bit sad!
2. Lots of cuddles with DD
3. Lots of card and word games with DD and my mummykins.
4. Really helpful sales assistant at W'rose who made our day a lot easier.
5. I'm hoping to buy a few things from the reading list for my course from a current student for molto cheapo on Sunday on a long way round back home
6. Yummy dinner - and I didn't have to cook, set the table - or clear away!0 -
KK our so called multiplayer was 10. She earned £5,200. Mortgage was £52,000. We did it.
They put bullsh it in front of your eyes to scare you off, so they can fleece the sheep. We are not sheep. It cost money to kick people out. Those that pay something, are not worth booting out.even if they go as far as getting a out rider to do so, the judge would throw it out..
Now, do not believe to carp from that box. Nor from the stool at the bar I prop this eve. Nor the barrack room lawyer. You re you, individual. If they treat you like the sheeple, the sheeple win.
Some one out here will back and help.
More wobbleade!0 -
Hugs BoP and I'll join you in a glass of wobbleade0
