    Baby steps (ala AnW'sMum!) is the WTG

    Kerching and that's another £ please :D :rotfl:
    WTG - thats a brilliant step count and thats a 'normal day' - it just shows you how much you do without realising.
    I had mine on today to go to the doctors etc and have done 4694 so well pleased with that too. I must use it more - like in the house too but I wont be 'adding to it' like Rose does I would rather keep it natural and genuine IYSWIM.

    Yes I know exactly what you mean, I MUST MUST MUST get a new battery for mine in the next few days. Oh and the chitty for the drum sticks arrived yesterday so I nipped out and got them today :D another pressie sorted!
    Hello you naughty people you've done it again ..........just had some beautiful flowers & choccies delivered :D thank you so much......you should all be concentrating on your own families at this time of year.....not me, I haven't done anything to deserve it :o but I love you all anyway :A :smileyhea

    You deserve them :) bet the chocs have gone already!


    AnW's Is it Quo tonight? No it's just 1 more sleep :D I have sent Miss A to bed early as she was at a sleep over last night and didn't get to sleep before 3.15 am :eek::eek::eek:

    Finally caught up on the thread! Miss A had a sponsored swim this afternoon after the sleepover so she is shattered.

    AND Master W got his badge for his 5m swim today :D:j:T:D:j:T

    Triker re the car thing sometimes the financially better option is not the best heart option IYSWIM the maths may say buy outright but the heart may say personal lease is better for you. Whilst a brand new shiny car is lovely the immediate depreciation can mean that a nearly new low mileage car is a better buy. Remember if you do decide to buy PPI is there if you are not able to work. Check out the policy options and prices on those as well before you make a final decision. You are not bound to buy a finance companies PPI policy you can get a stand alone one.

    well have just made the lounge presentable and cleaned the kitchen (the top of the 'fridge was:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:- my excuse is that my cats sleep up ther when they are shut in the kitchen at night :rotfl::rotfl:

    am sat in the tidy LR as OH has a grump on and I'd rather not be with him (depression is a !!!!!!)

    busy day and I am shattered, Christmas shopping followed by a 2 hr stint in the Grotto taking photos at the school Christmas Fayre, followed by food shopping (at least Aldi was quiet!) and now I am having a rest whilst the WM and TD wait to bed fed again

    early night me thinks!!

    tomorrow we are swapping the spare bedroom and the study over as DD is moving back in and will need the space that could be why OH is in a grump as it's a big job, still my best mate magscat is coming over to help so if he can't help I shall still be able to get on with it :) Trouble is the drawers are full of his crap (he is a hoarder) so we can move the units but he'll need to sort out what he wants to keep or chuck!! Still it must be done!!!

    I will report back on our progress tomorrow

    night all
    xxxx
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Have looked but can't see anywhere on the website :o

    Easiest thing is to tell Word to look for updates... otherwise try here unless you're a mac user in which case... I think it's THIS one

    I seem to have more mess now than I started with :confused: so I'd better get wrapping :rolleyes:

    Moam - will try to remember to email on Monday, when I'll have my work diary with me and know what days/times I'll be in the office!

    Loads more to do tomorrow but i'm heading to bed, i'm shattered. Night all.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.

    Really sorry to post and run but just been really busy. DS won silver in a TaeQuondo competition. We were so proud of him as he only started in the summer and missed 7 weeks when he was ill and he was up against people who'd been doing it for over a year. We've spent the afternoon and evening at the German Christmas markets in town and then has a meal out. The children loved it. So, no flying done I'm afraid.

    I'm going away for a few days now so will be back on later in the week. Hope you're all well and hugs to you all.
