    I usually do an adventure holiday every other year, so would normally be doing one this year. Just knowing I have one decided for next year should help kerb the restlessness I am starting to feel!

    No horror films here either! They give me nightmares for MONTHS :(. I went !!!!!! at my ex once because he refused to turn off Texas Chain Saw massacre so I told him to leave!

    'Nam sounds awesome Woo, my work mate has a friend who is an English teacher out there and we went for New Year 2009/2010, he said it was fantastic (apart from lost luggage!). It gives you something to look froward to as well :D

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    It's long been on my list of places to go, I wish I could do the month with her, but I don't have a hope in hell of my boss signing that off!

    Hi Woo
    Thanks for your good wishes...so glad to hear you have plans to travel. I always have Itchy feet! Great to have something to work to and to look forward to. My neighbours daughter went to Vietnam and she found the people so very friendly and welcoming.

    Have had and a strange day...debit card and credit used yesterday online and both were frozen. Should have realised not to use it on a sunday. This happened us before. So had to sort that out and have been trying all day to buy a blackberry for youngest son, 15 yesterday with birthday money to spend. Card kept being refused. Ringing both card companies and they say no prob should be fit to use them.
    Took o2 all flippin day to let me know that we had bought ..... wait for it....too many phones to our address!!!!

    So am now on the hunt locally to get the longed for pressie....feel drained. Plus the fact whilst looking through papers realised hubbie was driving his car with no road tax!!!!..so speedy gonzalez to the postoffice to buy it and running into his office with the new disc...no one saw me run!!!!!!
    Tomorrow should be better but my dishwasher has been broke for 2 weeks ...supposed to be getting it fixed mara afternoon.

    sorry for the rant!!
    You are doing well with your signature

    take care all

    Hi E

    Sounds like you've had a nightmare day! What do they mean you've brought too many phones, how ridiculous?

    Why did they freeze your cards?

    I hate things like that, problems that have occured for no real reason and your left sorting it out!

    No dishwasher for two weeks, I can't remember the last time I had to wash-up lol!
