    awwww bless!!!

    Oooooooh! really!!! that's exciting!

    How long have you two been seeing one another now then?

    Three months, seems crazy but it's so right and circumstances have sort of forced the issue. I'm so in love :D:o

    Sod the ironing...have you considered Sammy whether you working those 3 hours and getting paid and paying someone to do your ironing would be more cost effective?

    Swap you a roast dinner for a cup a soup (yak) ;) lol

    I really hate couriers grrrr

    Parcel attempted delivery thursday last week, ring up couriers, cant collect because I dont have any bills with my name and address on (they want passport as well!), so ring company who I ordered from arrange re-delivery to my work for Friday.

    On Friday they try to deliver to my home address again and of course I'm not there. I call orginal company who say 'sorry they may not have got the change in time' so it will definitely be Monday...

    Today parcel on tracking is shown as 'held at depo' (that one just oover the Bridge which I'm not allowed to collect from) and now has changed to re-assigned address - so guess what they arent going to deliver today either - OMFG I paid for NEXT day delivery on Wednesday - it is now Monday - stupid couriers rarrrrrrrr

    Nightmare Becky - I've got to go and pick something up tonight from couriers after similar messing about, took me ages to find a bill I could take! Citylink by any chance?

    Mauritious sounds lovely Maz - so we'll need hats and bikinis then :D
