    Morning all,
    I am so used to my daily dribble fix I can’t believe how weird it feels not to have a daily dribble, I have had withdrawl symptons all weekend!!!!

    Saucy – massive apologies went out with friends and had a bit too much devil’s iced tea a.k.a fight juice to drink on Friday night, so it was a mad dash to Brum. Thought that I would have a signal or some kind of wireless network at the NEC, couldn’t pick up a sausage so I couldn’t message you to say that I was at the NEC! Grrrrrr
    Hope you had a good weekend, did you make it to the wedding show and are you ok?

    MoneyM – I have got the SEO report done, I have mailed it to you. Please be warned that it is a mammoth 88 pages, but most of that is charts so don’t be put off. It is quite helpful and will give you some great pointers on boosting your SEO rating.
    Also, love the logo – good on you for sorting it so quickly.

    MMTWGR – good to see you back, you had been missing for a while and I wondered where you were last week.

    Joey – that little divaz thread is epic, it felt like I was reading the script for a sitcom. Pass the popcorn on that thread it is excellent! That made my morning thanks for that : )

    Mrs Money – I love the cream rosette, I think others have said that they are not too sure about the pink one already. I was going to say the same. The cream is lush though it look Victorian.

    2cat1kid – that gothic necklace is lovely – thanks for that I will probably blog it later.

    Skintbint – shame about the weather, but well done on the new cake orders.

    So far I have learnt –
    Despite the doom and gloom stories that you read in the newspaper, the world is filled with wonderful people (that means all of you) x
    A digital friend is a good as a physical friend, I have never felt so cared about or supported x
    Help is always available you just have to be brave enough to ask.
    Never dimiss anything, your simplest or silly ideas could be the best of all.

    Right the useful bits - went to a wedding show in London yesterday and I found a company called the wedding community. It is possible for wedding business to register on the site the costs for having/details of a supplier page are all here.

    I did get some other useful tidbits, but I left the information at home and I will post it later.

    Well Its been an expensive weekend... got ready for car boot, packed the car etc, and sunday morning the car wouldnt start :mad:. So no car boot, no money raised, OH had to go buy a battery charger. Then went to a good as new sale as DD needs new clothes (and toys) so spent £30 on updating wardrobe and toychest. :o

    So last night popped battery back in car went for a drive.... This morning battery is dead :mad:, but we did only put it on a fast charge. Still going to book it into the garage for Wednesday 1st day off but have no savings to pay for repairs so am going to have to call on mum to bail me out! ho hum!

    On the upside I have listed about 1/5th of the stuff on ebay so should still get something back. *crosses fingers tightly* :D
    DS1 arrived 22/02/11! 8lb3oz
    DD1 arrived 20/05/09 10lb3oz

    Love this :T well put and very true. I just wish I had a passport so I could go to Barcelona!

    -this week is a dribbling week for me as OH is on nights so I'll get to catch up with the thread in the evening, yay!
    Walked back along the sea front after taking DS to school, DD1 was great, only had to carry her a little bit, I'm going to get her trained up as a good little walker :) Love Scarb as soon as the sun comes out, we can get out looking for snails and waving at crows and such. What with the sun coming out and all the encouragement on the Sulkies I'm on such a high this week :j
    Bonus - found a load of sea glass and some sea-worn pottery pieces as well as this great little tile that's just the right size for a pendant! Now I need to figure out how to drill it without smashing it. That makes me think, did anyone ever have a go at doing the mosaic vase/flowerpot thing?
    Have had an email back with wholesale prices for clay so BIG THANKYOU JO will let you know how that goes when I get on my rubbish laptop as OH's one won't open pdf files. Best go feed my lot anyway, DD1 is making me laugh, she's making a doll show a teddy round a pretend house like the people on the property program and the teddy is saying 'this is a horrible bathroom and that is a horrible bath'! Big hugs, speak later xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
  • Morning!
    Just popped in to say hello really:p
    I am so pleased with myself as I have done some things this morning that I have been putting off for a while. Nothing major, just tedious jobs.
    For the rest of the day I have to: Iron, hoover, post ebay sales, have a bath, put clothes away, go to Asda.
    I thought if I wrote them down, I might remember to do them!

    AMBER: What does a psychic reading entail? I didn't know you could do them from a distance!! I am interested but the whole thing kind of scares me a bit!!

  • Morning all, just!

    After a not so relaxing weekend away (it was so much fun though!), we are recharged and ready to go again!

    Was getting really disheartened with all the books, but came home to find that I had, not 1 but 2 sales! Yay!

    Munchki - happy, happy, happy! Doesn't matter that things happened in a squiffy way, only that they did!

    Paula - still wanting a sulkie, but having difficulty deciding on phase!

    Tickle - !!!! happens, as long as you can fix it, then tis ok, there is always another bootie, and kids, well, they cost a fortune, I understand!

    Mabel - good luck with the site, you can borrow my phase if you like, "Whoopsie!" I must be the most accident prone person ever!

    Finally caught up with the 45!!!! pages that I missed and now I am behind on the days plan, so off I go, back later x
