    Spud if you are desperate for new shoes now and you want to exchange the credit at M&S for money I'll have it off you. I will have to buy green dresses for B for school in the next 4 weeks as after easter they have to wear them. I don't have a card I can use on M&S so a credit would be good. I can then transfer you the money. Up to you, offer there if you want it

    DD just showed me the massive hole in her tights, and her blazer needs replacing or else I'd chew your hand off Sal. The kids have to come first. I do have other shoes, but none comfy for all day on my feet chasing after 4 and 5 year olds. Heck, if the worst comes to the worst, I'll wear me Bunny party boots :o

    Aww, that's so kind Claire. I have big feet :cool:



    Right, wallow over. Nuff said. I'm fine, there's much worse things than uncomfy shoes ehh :)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Is it sad that I am considering going to bed just because I have nothing else to do (other than things that will make noise and wake the kids - laundry/hoovering)?

    Not going on either of the dates this weekend - not in the mood and not really interested. Must go for a decent run though, as have relied on chocolate and wine therapy far too much this last couple of weeks, and daren't even go near the scales.

    Evening,
    Spud hunny, I hear ya. things here have been a bit tense tonight-my car is REALLY bad (shouldnt be driving but can't get to work otherwise !!!!!!) and DH needs his for work. He is taking on loads of extra shifts training etc to pay for Florida (he has NEVER had a balance on a card and has now for the first time EVER and is TOTALLY stressing about it) and he hasnt got the time to fix my car and I havent got the money to take it to the garage-catch 22.

    I am getting more Vie parties booked (now have 4 to do before I go away) and that will help but it's just plain CRAP. I can't afford new shoes for the kids, to get my car fixed or anything...it WILL get better. It WILL!

    And Spud-my DMP lasts at least 14 more years and I am out of a job in a week! LOL!!!!!
