    HEY ALL,

    excuse the typing, have small child on knee, and typing with 1 hand, attempting to stop her drawing on my lappy.

    I am divorced. Free if not single. Joined the ex-wives club!!

    yay!

    The night out\was a bit quiet, few drinks with mates, was home by midnight! Took friday off and spent the morning in lncoln with LB. Then lunchtime I get a call from nursery - child is very ill must come and gether. Into the car and break every speed limit on the way home, to find she simply has a bad cold, not conjunctivitis as I was told by head nursery nurse.

    last night we went out for A meal, and was pleasant, except for being ruined by a certain few individuals. They're not well liked at our gaming club, and simply confirmed their unpopularity last night. It was amixed age group, a couple of 30-40's married, some 18-20's etc, and we all get on very well. Bearing in mind t was a civilised meal, then a few drinks at our local, these people turned up gothed to the nines and one girl (who we'd never met) came in dragging one guy by a dog collar and lead. Hmm, bit of a social faux pas. This group of 2 lads and a girl are well known for basically being in a 3 way relationship, and don;t really hide the fact. Add this second girl to the mix, and basically all night we were subjected to them all getting off with one another, the 2 girls included. Not pleasant. Attempts to put a stop to this failed, until after having the new girl playing with a pair of handcuffs for half an hour and annoying the hell out of everyone I leaned across and asked 'Haven't you lost the keys for them?' 'Yes' she said. I looked her straight in the eye and told her I'd fasten her to the nearset lamp post if she didn't stop clicking the damn things. One of the lads told us that they has a quick release button. With murder in my eyes I informed them that that could be fixed. I was already a bit upset cos this tart had been fluttering her eyelashes at LB all night, causing me to want to rip her eyes out. Then when it came to paying, we'd asked for a slipt bill but it came all together. After everyone had put in, it came up short. It was all sorted out but basically the suspicion is that this group didn;t put in.

    I had fun with my friends though, and enjoyed the night. Just goes to show that when having a special get toghter you should never invite people just because its the right thing to do.....

    Hsad some serious interest in the shop, guy asking all the right questions. Wants 3 years accounts - problematic as I only have access to this years the rest is on a computer currently being fixed. And I'm refusing to send out full accounts - just the relevant information on takings, and the bills the buyer will have to pay like rent etc. What I spent the money the shop brought in is irrelevant I think. Anyone had experience of this? I wasn't given a full breakdown when I bought the shop, just that information.

    Still, 9 watchers, so I'm hopeful. Tarot reading predicted a move around October, which is about right, so kwwp your fingers crossed people! It's gettng to the point where I just want everything sorted. There seems t be bills everywhere I look, and it's really starting to get me down. I just need a quick sale, and then everything will be paid off. I'm really looking forward to it.

    Well, that's enough rambling from me, sorry I've not been a good mse'r and posted more often, it's just been so busy. I think of you all often, and wonder how you're all doing. I'm worried about dotty, apparentlyshe's not been heard of in a while. Get your butt online girl and let us all know how you're doing.

    Love Obi xx
    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!

    Obi,

    Dotty was here a couple of days ago.

    She's had a bereavement in the family, but said she will be back very soon.

    I was worried too.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    And why would someone want to know what you spent your takings on anyway? Surely thats a bit like us knowing what you spend it on now? (Oh, erm maybe we do know :o)

    Anyway, glad thinks seem to be working out - take it you got your bit of paper then? Mine had it's 5th birthday in April this year!

    Hope little Obi is OK & hasn't broke the laptop - or maybe you've been busy with LB.....;)

    Love
