    Hey, on a more fun note, I was shopping (on behalf of Dad for mum's pressie's) tonight.

    I was so smug in my "I will get me another NSD", when I got blindsided by a gorgeous cardigan (as advertised on MSE Martin's facebook page today) at the lovely sum of £10 instead of £35.

    They had very few left, but luckily those that were, were in my size.

    I (very) briefly contemplated it for a pressie for mum. Then thought, "Naaah!"

    So I have a lovely new red cardi now :D.

    And I'm going to blame it all on Dad for sending my on his errands! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Awwww, you deserve it :) I also have a new red cardi for Christmas Day :D And it cost me more than a tenner :o

    Think you may have my boss, always bottles it if it involves confrontation :mad:

  • Love the sound of the new cardi!!

    Can't say much more than MatyMoo has really, but I hope you find a reasonable solution which you are happy with. I have problems with saying how I feel too although a lot of my friends would disagree!

    I'd run out of words and emotions! :D I do need to watch it again to take it in! I was mostly peeking through my fingers and freaking out as the Martin PM'ed to apologise for forgetting to put it in the email.

    It seemed such a natural thing for us to do at the time, but seeing in on the telly just hit home what an amazing power we have as people!

    Mostly at work today I was on tea making duties! :D

    At least we know I can always get a new career as a tea lady if I get fed up with the one I currently have. :D

    Hugely freaked out by the amount of people that have referred to me as a lady!? I ain't no ladeeeeee! :p

    I remember reading his thread when it first was on the boards, who knew this site could achieve so many things in so many people's lives.

    Happy New Year

    Isn't it amazing how it has brought it all back??? I think I am still as high as a kite! I sat and watched it again on iPlayer late last night without phones, texts and emails going off to disturb me. One of my sister's friends rang to say "Was that Katy on the telly just then" another to make sure that I actually knew all these people before hand :rotfl: My BIL rang to shout that's YOU at me, It was just bonkers :D

    I still think we did an AMAZING thing from lifting Mike's spirits to galvanising the BBC in to action to getting ourselves there to making the best buddies and I would not have missed second of it :j

    You are soooo much better than a tea lady my lovely and you certainly aint no bloke so, let me think, what does that leave us with??? Oh yes, a laydeeeeeee (well about as much as I am anyway :eek:)

    And get you, getting a PM from the big man himself :money: Loved what he wrote on Fermi's sticky and facebook :D

    Happy Hogmanay Honey :beer:
