one day thank you very much for your post i will deff take your advice on board ..you basically have her bang on ...she had written that she was really sorry about something totally trivial and she would understand if i never wrote to her again ...i tell you between IA and this letter it has been an emotional rollercoaster of a day ...i sent her a letter telling her she has a friend over the road and that no-one in our home thought she as being silly about the incident (it really wasnt a big thing she sent our nephew a valentines card) and that we all thought it was a lovely idea as he hadnt gotten any ....i will deff put your plan into action ...it will need to be a haapy tuesday however as i'm working etc over the weekend ...but then tue is her b/day so that might just work out perfect...thanks again0

Just checking in on ur thread. You should def. pop in on ur neighbour, she is prob a really really nice person,and the worst that can happen is you make a new friend.

Hello elantan. I haven't read all your diary but your recent posts grabbed my attention (the shy neighbour).
I know you're knackered at the moment (hope you can sleep soon!) so, perhaps this isn't the right time to mention it but, was thinking, if you can't afford a bottle of something, just a packet of biscuits will do!
If she doesn't eat 'em, no worries, at least it will have broken the ice (and you can always post me the biscuits :rotfl:).
You will let us know how you got on won't you?
Sleep well (eventually....:rolleyes:)Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

Hugs ElClearly you are a super mom as I would have shot them by the end of the moneysaving gig! This is a new way to meneysave by the way :rotfl:
Hope you got some rest and feel better for it!
As for the neighbour, I agree with LA. Biscuits sound good and if she's on a diet, I'll have 'emLeason learnt :beer:0 -
well want to hear how the rest of my day panned out ...i honestly couldnt make this !!!!!! up....have had problems with internet for a few days now mainly msn ...but now i cant log into any secured site..phoned virgin and it appears that they have issues currently and i have to bear with them ..firstly they take away my sky1 then the mess up my internet connection i pay the !!!!!!s £35 a month internet (10mg download) and i cant get connected to anything...but the day got better ..took the kids to the gig wished them all the best gave son last £10 note (didnt know i was having online banking probs at this time was planning to transfer more for our gig) went back home argued with virgin about internet no joy there...anyway eventually phoned mother in law and asked her if we could borrow money (well actually hubby did i dont get on too well with them) so i owe them money now and cant pay them till pay day...then father in law arrived for us to go to our gig (why did hubby invite father in law to gig....he doesnt even like the music)..so anyway it's 6.30 i still havnt had a sleep since 10 am previous day ...got on motor way and car died on us ...dead as a dodo...now we aint members of the aa...so thankfully father in law was in car so we could phone them ....stood behind the barrier as you do for over an hour till they arrived ...the transfered the car to a service station had a looked declared it gubbed ...mother in law picked me up so i could get he other car...our car got towed to our house i picked the guys up then headed to gig ...gig started at 7.30 we got there at 9.15...at least we saw the last hour though...car mechanic from aa seems to think it's a fuel filter ...so by heaven will that mechanic hear me on monday morning...so i'm now sitting here still not slept had a beer eyes are stinging but cant go to bed till i talk to son and the now confirmed 8 (thankfully) kids that are coming to our house tonight about his first gig ...i feel a bit sh1tty for missing it but we had spent money on those tickets (we wouldnt have been able to seem them anyway due to break down)...but i dont want him to think i'm not interested especially as we had an arguement today ...dontcha all wish you were me ....funnily enough i dont feel too angry about tonights carry on gotta think positive..tomorrow i doubt very much if i will even surface till i have to go to work lol0
