    Hi all, decluttered some more ebay stuff :j.

    FINALLY

    In a funny mood, feel a bit detached from everything really, like a turbo charged CBA'd. Humph.

    Where'd you put your brain?

    Anyways, Piggers, wow what a day, so glad the lads were ok, I understand why you were so frantic though, big hugs from me for not completely losing it and your head blowing up....:D.
    As if I would... I was just giggling about obliterating ds2's soul .. how on earth I came up with that one is beyond me.. bet I was a right spectacle... Keeps making me giggle.. watch for it in the paper though..

    Definitely a nuclear meltdown there!

    Still all over the place about this blooming car business, what to do, what to do....:confused:

    if you need geeky maths help.. I have mathy geek available.. he'll baffle you to the penny lol

    What does a mid life crisis feel like? Do women get to indulge in one?:confused:

    not unless you want me to come round, slap you about the head and shake some grips into you!!!

    (((Hugs))) ... and for the christmas tree... it's not surprising that you've let things drift, but think how lovely it will be to get your RoD cleared by ebaying all the stuff you've got in there. You just need to clear the backlog, you don't have to keep doing it - you seem to be pretty busy running round after the SWs!

    Initially it was things like the SW's school routine and ebay that kept me going but then as the inquest approached it was more important to concentrate on that. I am thinking along the lines of just clearing what I have got and kicking it into touch after that, will see what the spring brings. The SW's certainly keep me busy!

    Hugs also to AnW's Mum i bet DH was there watching you all. xx Well done on the steps, i thought i did loads of walking until i put a pedometer on. I struggled to do 5,000 a day.:o

    I am sure he approves :) It is a tree where more is definitely more :rotfl:will try and get some pics to show you all at the weekend.
    AnW's Big squishy hugs Sweetie.......you know Daddy would be proud....well done :kisses3:

    You know the real sad thing today, I put the lights on the tree before the SWs decorated it, one set is static and the other can be multi sequence or static. In the past I always insisted they had to be static as they would drive me mad when we were watching TV but I must have knocked the setting as when I switched them on tonight they were flashing and I thought they looked so pretty and not at all annoying :o and I felt terrible because I wouldn't let DH have them flashing.

    tooch
    I have a ickle bit of room for you ;)

    Am off to bed, working at the local branch tomorrow if some kind soul will remind me in the morning :rotfl:

    Night all xx

    ETA Love the letter Jill no wonder you are a proud mum :D

    AnWsMum...I do admire you, you're very unassumedly courageous about very poignant moments...:A.

    Awww thanks, we just muddle on through the best way we can.

    Re the car, what does your gut say? If you are going to buy yourself try and do it this month before the VAT goes back up, as I understand if you are invoiced this month you maybe able to pay early next year but at a VAT rate of 15%.

    And with that I AM going to bed!

    Not had chance to catch up properly, but wow just from what I have ((hugs)) for those who need one. Been a little busy finishing most of the new unit off, cleaning, shopping etc

    Couple more pictures for those not on FB, the finished unit/vivs http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v241/lil_me/?action=view&current=DSCF1035.jpg

    You can just see Belle's tail poking out (on left) & how my crackers bearded dragon sleeps (middle) end bit is for DSs Christmas Chameleon, probably can see why it's took so long as they started as flat pack cabinets. My 'non living' dragon collection now on the shelves.

    Another of Belle, looking a little different because of light

    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Sounds like a plan, I'll ring you or text you tomorrow and see what we can sort out.

    Just made a hot chocolate and its very nice but not obscene....:rotfl:

    Greenbee, you're right I will feel better when this clutter has gone, I'm overwhelmed by it all at the mo.
