nah, I dress her up as a raggy little street urchin with a sign saying 'This is what happens when you stop buying wool'.
It's either that or go out into the streets with a cattle prod, but the council frown on that sales tactic. Just going to have to plod on with my website, ebay everything not nailed down and wait for council to decide if I can get help with council tax and rent. Still, it keeps me busy.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!

I said 'ahemmmm it was your suggestion to speak to me about this and you offered a 'refinance' loan and asked to speak to me?? he then asked about my money situation etc - what a joke?? anyhow he's ringing me back tomorrow - the nerd - lets see what bull they come out with then eh??

And no its NOT just 10 - its 10 closer to dfw & every penny counts! Banks...hate them!! All the same! Would laugh my head off if the raving loony (description sounds like you're well shot of him but you knew that anyway - if you ever waver please let us know so we can lock you in a padded room until you come to your sences...could make a good thriller out of that one!!...I was stiiting happily watching DD [STRIKE]destroy[/STRIKE] help in the shop when a hoard of DFW's abducted me....) buys his stuff on ebay...now that would be funny! YOu could even out "a little something extra" in it as a gift...sure we could come up with something between us!!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!

He let slip the other day that he was paying for an internet connection, so was considering sending him a slip of paper with an ebay id number on it. When he logs on he's going to see his most prized possession up for sale - a bunch of mint, in box 80's Action Force toys worth around £3k........I'm not going to be daft enough to sell it for 50p - I may be vengeful but I'm not stupid, I'll have the cash thanks, it's more useful than just seeing him fuming.
Am going to tell him if he wants anything he left here, he can damn well bid on it. After finding out he didn;t even wait 4 hours after walking out on us to phone his whale of a ex girlfriend he bl**dy well deserves it.
As for free gift, if he spends over £5 he gets a fragrant reminder of his daughter - nappy the morning after she has curry for tea. The Child produces a phenomenal amount of smell for such a little bottom.....
Anyways, he's no chanceof getting back with me, as I am now the proud owner of a Boyfriend (tm). A serious upgrade to the now-outdated Hubby 2000. It comes preloaded with nice aftershave, caring thoughtfulness and is guaranteed to tell you how wonderful you are at least a dozen times a day. My particular model comes complete with sense of humour and brilliant taste in horror films. Reliable yet still exciting, plus I also went for the optional extras - gorgeous brown eyes and cute spiky hair.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!

Yay you go girl!!!
Cute spikey hair huh? Hmmmm wonder if that upgrade is available with the "skinny white scottish boy" that I have ended up with? Not sure if it's compatible with Work 2.1 tho... hmmm will have to investigate the manual... maybe I can find a Sexy Underwear patch that will make it compatible...
Dunno exactly what website you're trying to build but let me know if I can helpmight have played with one or two web sites in my time

My DFW Diary - blah- mildly funny stuff about my journey0 -
Has the boyfriend(tm) got a friend?
Now getting to the stage where I fancy being seen with a man on my arm.
Only want one for one thing though and its not car repairs, diy, gardening, decorating, or any other supposedly male job will do them myself thanks.
Its for a good old fashioned s**g.
Have gone through the cannot be bothered, the yuck all that sweat and mess, to now would really, really like a S**G.
Hope you have a good day today and sell lots of wool.

as far as I know, the particular workshop (Mum Ltd) that produced the James 3000 is no longer turning out units, but I could always enquire :-) There are 2 newer models in the range, but at 12 and 16 not sure if they're ready for the open market yet.... 'I'll have a David Tennant with blue...no...green eyes, and I'll pay the extra for leather upholstery cheers'
Well DFW's, just a quick one as it's Solstice tonight, means I'm up at 2 am to make sure Child is suitable bundled, coffee made and copious amounts of hayfever remedy swallowed. I love nature, it just doesn't love me back! Talking of hayfever remedies, I bought a cheap one from Boots today (£1.25 for 7 one-a-day) and I might as well have taken a tic tac. Ususally use Benadryl, but that's not putting much of a dent in it this year. Lesson for today - some things are not worth downgrading on.
Pretty good day at the shop today, but then went and blew my DFW halo's shiny patina by not only buing lunch for 2nd day running (£2.95) but then stopped at Co-Op and bought Child ready made baby food and then some bits for me, ended up spending the same amount as my weekly shop (£7.50) on dips, stilton and crackers. So bit annoyed at myself as I could have made child a pitta pizza and not spent the money. But I am seriously enjoying these dips, and despite being able to get stilton cheaper at the market I really like the co-op one. So not all bad.
Hope everyone had a cheap day, and will be sending out DFW type thoughts as the sun comes up tomorrow morning.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!
