    Good Morning and Happy New Year............thanks to peeps who sent their New Year greetings via txt at midnight on 31st, I had to be up at 0230 for work!:D. But I forgive you.

  • Good luck with Ikea! What do you want? I love Ikea.

    I'm just about to start tidying / washing up after yesterdays invasion. Got all of DD2's washing to do too. Then I intend to have a quiet sit down this afternoon.

    Slept for 11 hours last night. Tut tut.

    i have never been to ikea as there isnt one near me, and what is it with their meatballs??

    today i got about 2/3 loads of washing to do, which means more ironing (oh goody), and a few jobs for HIM before he goes back to work tomorrow.
    kids go back on monday, and im not looking forward to it, as we have had such a great time these holidays
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    morning all - hope the drive to Asda wasn't too onerous Pepe xx

    I've never been to an IKEA - I don't get the 'thing' about the place, :confused: I guess I'd have to go to understand it!!! I also wonder about the meatball thing.

    Chilly here. Bit strip of ice down the driveway.

    OH has gone off for his first 2 ski lessons I bought him before his holiday at the end of the month.

    I've got all next week off, got loads to do in it though.

    I was trying to decide whether I was brave enough to jump on a train one day and surprise a friend but I don't think I have the guts to do it in case she is mortified by a sudden 'ta -daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'!!!! And of course - she could be out!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

  • Hi all,

    It's a tad on the cold side here - the temp thingy in the car was showing -6.5. Brrrr.

    Pepe good luck in Ikea, I'm going there tomorrow with my parents (olds) and I'm dreading it.

    Buffy I hope your heating comes on soon, though sounds as if your actitivies will keep you warm.

    Bookie - meatballs -yummy.
  • Good morning all... need to get on and do 'stuff' today but I have lost all motivation. Spark lasted the night in my room with Thomas so thats good, previously he was in mums room on her wardrobe, dont ask :rolleyes: I decided last night that seeing as my debt isnt too bad I want to start giving a monthly donation to charity again. I stoped in 2008 using advise on here but I want to restart now. Just need to chose which one/research/find one, any help would be aprechiated :D

    Have a fab Saturday all and I hope that the shock back into life/reality isnt too hard :rolleyes:
