    Evening everyone :D

    I need to do the Hotel Chocolate thing. Is it easy and idiot proof?

    Not much point in me doing Graze. It sounds like it's mostly nuts, and nuts dont like me :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Snaggs - ordered mine on Thursday, got them yesterday.

    Sally - This is the site you need to register with for free tickets.

    Spud - yes it's idiot proof...go to quidco - search for "chocolate tasters club" sign up for their offer box at £7.95 and get £6 cash back....simples (just remember to cancel the order when you get your first box or it will charge you each month for more boxes)

    Can't remember when I ordered my HC, but it came on Monday, yum!

    I love Graze, got a box this morning.

    Evenin'!

    Ooo my coats been despatched - Sammy pm me your address will ya - I'm going to post some other stuff on Monday so will do the coats and reds wool at the same time :D

    Finished my xmas shopping (for £20 in primani whoop!!!)

    Bookie - you are obviously feeling very negative about life the universe and everything right now - would it help for you to think back to a time when you were happier then focus on what made that (most likely lots of little things) and try to pull some of that stuff into the here and now?

    Snags - nice one on the dinner ;)

    Not surprised to be honest, particularly now it's the government's money at stake!

    The banks are basically casinos, in the end they always win! :cry:

    Just sending you a hug Bookie...I sometimes wonder what I did to deserve some of the carp thats thrown at me...then I pick myself up and realise its all to make me a stronger person. I know it may seem rubbish at the moment and I am sure you are fed up of people saying it will work out but as a general rule something WILL work out. Hugs anyway and onwards and upwards for us both hey!

    And Bookie....just because your marriage failed doesn't make you a rubbish wife...

    You are a very good mother and grandmother though.....:grouphug:

    :rotfl: Ugghh, it was vile - no matter what I put in, the taste didn't improve, and after about 15 minutes, I gave up and threw it away.

    Bookie, I was a bloody fantastic wife (:cool: :whistle: honest...) and still could barely manage to raise a smile (or anything else for that matter) from my ex.

    Both parties have to be willing to work at it, otherwise the marriage will fail (or plod along in that 'not really a marriage, just a convenient living arrangement' rut forevermore). Stop blaming yourself.
