    Nicki, are you sure that your car insurance would go up if you were on the policy? I know you'd be a new driver, but I was talking (not about you) to some friends last night whose car insurance has gone DOWN since "she" was added to "his" policy. You are female and over 25 - that's got to be a good starting point, right?

    Morning all........((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) to those who need them........

    Not a good night, too hot to slepp although OH has no difficulty what so ever, I feel washed out this morning, have neem bitten quite badly over the last couple of days sitting out, so this morning have covered myself with the stuff we bought in France last year, cannot find the cream for the bites though, wonder what I did with that????????

    No plans, will sit in the back garden whilst its cool, repair insde after lunch once the sun hits the back of the house, OH says there is a breeze this morning, but it feels warm to me!!!!!

    Off to get a coffee and take my book outside for a while, want to mark up another cushion cover, but its too hot to sew right now.....



    Living in the sunny? Midlands, where the pork pies come from:

    saving for a trip to Florida and NYC Spring 2008

    Way to go Kaz!!!! Thats brilliant, £46 goes a long way in clubcard deals!!!!!

    Welcome to Jayaar!!!

    Lisa - enjoy a-ha later!!!!

    Rzl - hope all goes well with the mortgage chap, sure it will, you seem to have everything covered!!!!!



    We have just got back from the park and a trip to Waitrose, was meant to buy a yogurt and some chicken, but ended up spending £18 :eek:
    The little ones are outside at the moment (my computer is right by the back door!), but the sun is still at the front of the house, so i thought i would let them out for a little while, before getting them in and putting a dvd on for them.
    Right, going to plant the basil i bought in my herb garden (just hope it will take, in this weather!!!)
    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hardly slept at all last night, but then again who did? I thought going to bed at 1.30 would mean I'd be dead for at least a couple of hours, but even with a fan trained just on me I couldn't drop off. Oh well, the tired look is all the rage at the moment isn't it?:D

    Aussielass, hope it's better news for YS today!

    hehe - I even just ran up a one-page SOA in case for whatever reason he wants to see one ... Do you think this is a sign of spending too much time on MSE? :rotfl:

    It's also the sign of someone who's done their homework and is not to be messed with!!

    Morning all

    Just been cracking off some phone calls this morning for w**k and then I can enjoy what they are saying may well be the last hot day:cry: Must admit will be glad when the temperatures overnight drop but will miss opening the curtains to perfect blue sky.

    I have been so lucky with my workload during this weather - just admin bits that I can do when the sun is not so hot

    Very frustrated with MSN as did an upgrade to 8 this morning and its lost all of my contacts :mad: so can my OS friends please invite me in again when your on - fank oo:j (has anyone else had this problem?)

    30 odd posts already this morning so i apologise for not going through everyones making a note but I have read them all honest ;)


    Rzl - All the very best for today and tomorrow, bet you are soo excited (house warming party much sooner than originally planned!! :beer:)
    PP - Hope you manage to get into the hammock and have a lovely rest in the sun
    Jayarr - Welcome but be aware you will now be an OS addict and may find you get less done as a result!!
    Manic - Enjoy - I know you will!!

    Have a great day all:j
    Nels xx
