    Jinkymy lil ball of scrumptiousness - smooch.gif
    LadyL - kiss.gif . It is my pleasure to be here for you and I wish I could do more. And we all hate that getting around is so hard for you.


    Perhaps we could all come round and 'pimp your ride'.. Spray paint it your favourite metallic colour.. stick on beads and diamantes spelling out Lady Liberty across the back... Attach a row of pegs (all one colour of course!) along the top of the back (to keep all your peg obsessed friends happy) and with it being the season for it, some fairy lights. Of course it would have a large bicycle horn so you can warn people to get out of the way and extra wide arms which open up and inside one are ready mixed G & Ts and emergency bars of chocolate and in the other a very long boxing glove on a spring (a la Tom and Jerry) activated by a large red button of course, so if someone is really annoying you, you can 'help' them out of the way? Oh and underneath the seat one of those blue lights that glows as you move along.giggle.gif

    La-la, embb, AnW, Jinky, Kazmeister, pigpen and funfair - You are all the first wave of pimp-ers, so get the glitter and fairylights ready and make sure you pack plenty of twinks to keep the energy levels up!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Quillion – so envious of you having Peter Kay tickets, I adore him.

    So far today I have sorted emails and fed the cat and decluttered some weetabix.. might do a HHC if I can get myself together and don't end up on here reading for the next hour..

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

    Not much to do today then!!
    Feeling alot better today - went to bed at 7.30 last night and woke up at 6.30 this morning!!
    Have stripped some more wallpaper this morning but its a real berger getting it off so I may change my plans and paper over the backing paper that is left on and paint over the new paper IYSWIM. Its an additional cost that I could well do without so not really sure what to do now. I think I was living in dream land when I thought that the backing paper would come off easily and now I wish I'd never started it especially with so much to do at the mo.
    Anyway, off to get on with the list now as I've got 3 hours to do as much as possible. See you all later and hope you are all ok
