    well done on the site getting up and running. what is the internet address. word of mouth works too you know!

    Not sure if I'm allowed to give it out, but the company name is Little Taste of Home, and the website is not a million miles from that lol :) We do have a referral scheme for a box of chocs, so if you have mates abroad, do me a favour and send them the link!
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Glad you are alive and positively kicking :D

    but perhaps you could make up a tale of kidnapping by geeky monkeys - I suspect bob and co will find tales of hard drives and the like just too mundane :rolleyes:



    Um...well...

    I was walking along the other day and these Space Geek Monkeys flew down in their shiny plastic-model-badly-painted spaceship and picked me up. They took me back to their home planet, as being Geeks they had never seen a female. I was forced to play Warhammer Online until I cried. They made me eat Pot Noodles and banana pizza until I couldn't fit into my jeans any more, and then they brought me home as I couldn't quote whole episodes of Red Dwarf .


    Better?

    Well......tax credits have laughingly deposited £3500 in my bank account - I rang them to query it, and they said that I should have claimed for the time I was self employed, and they have kindly given me what I was due.....:rotfl:

    So, that helped reduce the debt somewhat :D Apart from that, the usual, work, work, work, but I have started running because I have a place in the London Marathon next year, and I can now run (well, plod) 5 miles without stopping, so I am getting there.........thank goodness for Ipods is all I can say!

    .......and I have got tickets to see Take That - what is happening to me! I think it must be those space geek monkeys at work again:rolleyes:

    And ofcourse MrsT is up the duff but I already told you that so that's not really news anymore but tomorrow we ARE officially at the end of the first trimester! :)
    And don't you start thinking I've forgiven you missy! Fancy running out on me like that when I was dying to tell you I was pregnant! Bob and I have been VERY worried! NAUGHTY Obi!
    Good to have you back, well done on the Rossendales battle! You go girl! And glad your bottom has stopped throwing up ;) Like that expression LOL

    My DFW Diary - blah- mildly funny stuff about my journey
  • OO she's back, breathes sigh of relief and puts 'anti geek' repellent down..naughty Obi, consider hands slapped....but have noted address down:D ;)

    Sorry you have been so poorly though, not very nice to have that:o

    Way to go with Rossendales:T i bet they try and recruit you:cool:

    Regarding the spaceship...i knew it:D :p :rotfl:

    And Mrs T.:j :beer: congrats to you:D I think we should all spend a little time away from DFW, i reckon we will all be getting preggers at this rate:rotfl:

    Yay @ Mrs T being all Duffed - you did tell me you mad woman. Was I right? Did Mr T instantly get out the bubble wrap and clear the fridge of anything nice (like blue cheese and rare steak)?

    Rossendale can suck my big toe. I hope they all get kn*brot - even the women.

    And you can't anti-geek me. I married one, and am off to another one's engagement party tonight. In true geek tradition his GF told him they were getting married, and he could get her the £1200 ring she wanted for her birthday the following month......
