    Same day as my next exam.........fingers crossed for both of us then:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Gosh, where did the day go?
    Did DD2's ironing and delivered it. DD2 was there and has booked me to do hers. Had a few hours with them all.
    Might start friend's now for an hour. I hate ironing.

    I want to put my tree up but can't fit it in until the weekend.

    Bookie you are too kind........

    My tree might go up this weekend if I can sweet talk OH into getting into the loft for it:rolleyes:

    Completely off topic, I really dont know what to do about Dad and GF this Christmas, I stopped sending gifts a few years ago but in recent years we have been sent the odd present.

    He is so unpredictible though as one year you dont get so much as a card and then the next he will send some extravegant gift totally out of the blue:confused:

    I was thinking of ordering a nice hamper (he lives in Scotland) but they are so expensive.

    Maybe a nice calender which I could send every year and that would be my "thing".

    Ideas anyone?

  • I knew I shouldnt have got up and gone to work this morning, dont ask :rolleyes: To top it all I droped my bus ticket in a huge puddle of water, cue £20 being washed away :mad: What a numpty....

    Anyways I will put it all behind me and tomorrow is another day, two days till the weekend :T

    Hmm don't know Lou, the calendar could be a good idea? What about one of the photo sites where you can make your own with family photos?

    That would be amazing PAP:T

    I doubt with 2 teenage sons whether I would be able to do the same although I have almost had a neutral Christmas (75%) from my matched betting efforts earlier in the year:D

    To be honest Pap I have had to slow down in my extra activities such as matched betting and mystery shopping, at the moment I am fitting in full time hours over 4 days and doing this accountancy course on my "day off".

    Weekends are taken up with housework and general "getting over the week".

    I must try and organise myself a bit more.
