    Star please Toots:j:j:j:j


    Thats me done for tonight, think it's time for bed.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Morning all, Too many pages to read back sorry:oat least you can skip them I have to read them for the stars:rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:Do you lot ever sleep:rotfl:
    I might skip moving the furniture today:p
    and yes until your arm is healed you had better not be attempting moving anything heavier than a paper bag - empty of course:rotfl:
    vanilla - YAY to the TD but watch your electric bill honey!!! and I hope DD had a brilliant time for her first visit - how exciting for her - I know what my nieces were like:rotfl:
    Greenbee - your challenge is to have your presentation done by 9pm thursday evening - no last minute rushing allowed
    sexy well at least you got some compensation - hopefully next time will be better and you will feel like it more. hope the de-cluttering wasnt too much for you today - take it easy remember - dusting would be allowed:rotfl:
    MOAM good to hear that DH is doing well - bad news about the crank call - sorry I am late to give advice but would have been telling you the same as others - if you advise BT thay can intercept calls for a while to see if that puts a stop to it - i have done it before and it usually only takes a couple of days for the pest to be stopped!
    catznine you had better get a wiggle on and get the house sorted as I expect you will have a steady stream of visitors etc from now until the wedding for one reason or another!!! i hope you have booked yourself a holiday for when it is all over you will need it!!!!:p:D
    sabs congratulations to your DD - excellent results:T:T
    prettypennies -I wish i could have warned you about the drycleaning at Johnsons - I knew it would be about £100- its a ridiculous price! At least you got somewhere a bit more reasonable.
    Triker - good to see you have been sensible and letting your body recover - dont go daft doing the bedroom will you?:eek:
    louboutingirl *good luck and clear thinking* vibes for your interview - knock 'em dead:D
    hello vivw I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondered how you were?

    keys WOW you are brave hosting a 21st!!!! good luck with the preparations
    Poppy I think a few of us suggested it and i am delighted you have done it - its now your room - your choices - I hope you enjoy your haven (((hugs)))
    KazLA you can get oven liners which make a big difference too - you can sometimes get them in poundland or they are abot £2 in morrisons ETA I see Anw's Mum got there before me!
    Kazw come on what news - you cant leave us in suspenders all night now????:rotfl:

    ** note to self - [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] encourage AnW'sMum to get those curtains made!

    macpep hope you manage to chill now (((hugs)))
    natty thats not quite my idea of resting - looking after kidlets:rotfl::rotfl: hope it was enjoyable and helped you chill out - take it easy tomorrow xx

    busy day for me - Cornhill untill 3.30 and then home to do some phone calls and then Pancake Party at the church which was good fun with pancake tossing and other competitions for the kids.

    havent got much done of my list though:(

    nice to see some of the poorlies are feeling a bit better - hope the rest are resting and will be on their feet very soon.

    love and hugs to everyone

    Special love and hugs to LadyL - hope you feel better soon honey xx

    hi all
    been to my sisters and we MADE her open all her mail...strike that WE opened it and sorted it into file/shred/throw/recycle...I found a cheque she had last summer, various UNUSED TESCO vouchers :eek: now OOD and scratchards - game closed but will still payout so i bought the winners home with me;)
    (all of £3) I will cash them for her.
    Now have ANOTHER printer (we now have 3) and another laptop (2 laptops, 1 PC and one titchy notebook) a laptop stand and a stepper....
    Made DD pancakes then went out despite dicky tummy which fortunately did not let me down.
    Tomorrow I must e mail my frined (with whom I have been for a meal to the pub) and send her photos of her in her wedding outfir as she is working on hairdos.
    Nice one Soappie!
    Nuns and e mail - who'd have thought it!
    Have been offered more furniture...am pondering
