    LL - I sent mine yesterday, first class so don't know why it isn't there? I forgot to put a note in but you do have a card! Also put some large first class stamps in to help with costs. Hope they turn up as it took ages to write them with doing them in works time!!!

    Thanks....don't worry, they seem to be taking a couple of days to get through xx


    Carol Hugs to you......that must have been a shock.

    Enjoy the sunshine everyone!

    Kitchen, hall, loo & utility room hoovered. I'm going to mop the floor behind me as I head out of the door. I'll be back in a couple of hours, absolutely starving probably... although I could treat myself to sushi after my appointment :D

    Just remembered, I have top to return to GAP as well...

    It was among my great aunts effects (she died in 2004) and I kept it intending to e bay it...
    I had bedding/towels etc from her house.
    I also had an unused Charles and Diana tea towel which I DID sell on e bay in 2004
    The tea towel currently in use in my kitchen was one of hers. I used to do her cleaning/washing...

    CraftyScholar – I will enjoy my very nice weekend and after that it’s back to me and my life first and them second. Thank you for commenting!

    Soappie – Thank you! And I will thoroughly enjoy my weekend away – and I love that beer chinking smilie – it’s so CUTE!!

    Froddington – They were tough phone calls but they could have been worse…

    Twoflower169 – I will march on - I love this whole feeling of being brave!

    Greenbee – I shouldn't count on them to put me first, so I’m taking your advice and putting me first instead – breathing space has been acquired now must be maintained.

    Toottifrootti – thank you for the well done , and me and my education are steaming on ahead. I’m going to enjoy my weekend with my SO and enjoy my time alone with just him and hopefully nothing between us! And as for my mobile, I have a confession – I can barely text, I always forget my charger and I cannot for the life of me work out how to do more than add a phone voucher of credit to it. I only brought this phone because my old one died on me – it was so old it had a pull up aerial for christsakes! So, trust me, I’m not having it within the same county as me, never mind switched on :D

    Money Saving Diva – first of all, can I say that I love your font, and second of all, why do you wish you had done the same thng yars ago? Did you have a TM as well? And thank you for the well done!

    ChoccyBix - *bows at the clapping from the smiley* Oh, in-laws. I know the feeling, trust me. Boyfriend’s parents are extremely against all Lower Classes but they’ve still not accepted us despite us being together since I was…sixteen, I think? Four years and they’re still not getting it. Good for you for standing up to them though! It’s hard work, but I gotta tell you, it feels really really great and I bet you did too! Ah, pfft. Their loss it is! PS – I love your signature~

    Pigpen – OMG! They sounded like they behaved like a couple of right little toerags – wouldn’t have liked to have been in their shoes!

    Dusty Thanks honey....that's the second time I've cried today reading this thread :o (in a good way) :D ......I will try & take your advice on board xx


    Christmas card update Quillion & Mummyof5 Thanks very much....very generous :kisses3:
    xx

    Your Welcome.

    Remember as well the story of the tortoise and the hare. xxx Slow and sure wins the race. I think people rush about to much and they miss so much by rushing xx

    I have been to DS Nativity today and he was the lead part in the play.

    He was 'The Big Star' that couldn't shine and he was amazing. I am such a proud mummy and for the whole 25mins he jumped about and skipped around and pulled lots of faces whilst trying to make himself shine. At the end he climbed some steps above Mary & Joseph and the baby in the stable and lit up it was so cool.
    All the children were fantastic and as they are Nursery and Reception class some are also very young.

    Need to update list and fly later as i am off to work soon and then to the Villiage Xmas Market tonight.

    Anyone from Valliland it is Brimington in the Church Hall from 6pm - 8pm.

    If you come look out for the silver twig tree with the knitted Xmas figures and the snowman soup.

    Bye for now catch you all later xx

    HUGS everyone xx
