Morning chaps

A very sad looking darwin towed back last night (probably alternator) so my today plans of taking OH out for a Darwin lunch at the beach (I'd planned to take him out yesterday to make sure he was OK for a sneaky lunch a la beach for two today)

Oh well

Glad you're all fine and well - waves to all of you

More stripes in a bit - promise!!

have a great valentines day everyone - xx

Fay, sorry to hear about Darwin:( . Valentines day lunch at the beach sounded idyliic and sooo romantic ..... but I am sure you will come up with something just as nice;)

How's the head ???

I look like a dalek or a rhino without a horn (so OH says!)

Morning SM and Jo and all

(Lunch was more MSE than romantic )

This is a bit of an odd day for me - OH's not here for valentines as such - he's here cos I get wobbly - this is the fateful day I found out my hubby was being naughty and I left (Dunno why I'm posting this? - its the catalyst of alot of things I suppose)

We're much better off these days I think!

Waves to Fay :wave:

Morning all. V. down in the dumps Dunno why *shrugs* Mouth sore, nothing to eat in the house and no money to replenish. I need to earn more money cos this is not working at all.

Tried to pay for the car insurance twice yesterday, first time it timed-out and then the second time it welcomed me back (think I'd already told you this bit? *confused*), anyway, didn't get a confirmation email so rang them this morning and they say there is nothing on the system about me buying insurance apart from 2 quotes which were done yesterday. I asked, when then, is £42.50 tracking in my Quidco account *confused* and said obviously by now ringing you and sorting it out that's void? I've got the blokes name and he assures me it will take about 3 months but I will get the cashback. I better

So, car is MOT'd, Taxed and Insured, but I have no petrol and no money to buy any :undecided

Can you tell my 'top of the world' feeling has still not surfaced

Oh and OH presented with me a nice little valentines day card this morning but I couldn't afford to buy him one, so that was embarrassing

Then in the next breath I asked him for money as I have none and need to go to the laundrette, which I add is only for him as he needs his uniform. And we need food and we are bout to run out of electric, oh and I need a couple of quid for petrol. He told me to get £20 out and give the £10 to DD1 that he owes her. I said that I don't think £10 will pay for the other stuff (laundrette alone, for the smallest machine, is over a fiver, electric will be £6 so that £11. Then we need to feed 5 of us. So he begrudgingly said take £30 then. We are really stuggling this month.

Sorry to moan

Well it makes sense if you look at the local newspaper web page

Insert confused smiley again - morning JO - missing my phone!!

Tescos are going to stock local orkney herring in their shops (its yummy) so that's front page news as well as the local 'love triangle' murder trial
