    Hi all :j Many Happy Returns of the Day to Miss MP:j:j:j

    Whew feeling exhausted, had friend coming round - mad panic this morning as brother rang to talk about Dad, whilst he was going on pup got into girls room downstairs & messed in visitors SHOE:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:OMG shouldn't laugh really but it was OK in the end.

    Visitor just gone, after remarking about state of garden:mad: Nanna I do live on a straight road, & I also like gardening but am at a loss where to start, we have half an acre - I'm OK with the smaller stuff but we have big massive bushes/trees etc that need cutting down, which I can't do. And yes, it WAS £280 per day for the 2 of them, oh & I forgot to say, you also have to pay for any weedkiller etc that they use:mad::mad::mad:

    No idea what to do, but I'm not paying that:D

    Evening everyone
    Happy Birthday Moneypenny.
    Good rant PDD
    Elsie I am going to join WL - I just can't seem to lose weight - I guess eating too much of wrong food doesn't help. Evenings for me are worst. I've munched 1 cereal bar and lots and lots of peanuts and that's before dinner.:mad: mad at myself.
    Wouldn't it be nice to win lottery and retire and spend:cool:
    Here's hoping!

    Also forgot to mention. In post today was letter issuing me with formal default from Nationwide and threatening usual stuff about pay up or else. They have frozen interest up to now. I'm assuming they'll carry on.

    Hi everyone,

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MONEYPENNY........HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. :dance: _party_:bdaycake:

    did you like my singing......believe me its the best was to "hear " it.!!

    PDD - Hope you are feeling better now, And as for Amex.....don't pay 'em back.:D

    I have just changed my telphone number and gone ex-directory, and then I don't have to talk to creditors.:T Great idea about having Niddy as your personal accountant - it would be worth whatever he charged just to see them squirm.:mad: Perhaps we could all have a " copper up" and hire him between us......only thing is, I hope he's cheap.!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Sashanut,

    Perhaps it would be cheaper to get a goat or two......and if you got a Nanny goat (sorry nanny), you could have goats milk, and make cheese......and sell them and earn money. There you go, problem solved. Loved the pup's little accident, perhaps he liked the smell of the shoes.:rotfl:

    Nanna - sorry you are still at work, hope you are feeling better today too. I didn't speak to them, just ignore phone. Most of my family text me or skype me, so its no problem ignoring the telephone.:D

    Mrs i.....that's a good idea, cold chunks of chocolate, they last longer, although I don't have the will power, so its total absinance for me.!!:o

    Be back later, need coffee.

    Mrs i.....sorry that you are still having trouble with the plumbers. Can't you bash them about the head with your 'pole' and see if that gets them moving.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Nice idea about the goat Elsie - but I think it'd have to be a Mexican Jumping Goat or something to get to the tops of the trees...............OMG might make it bit diffcult for the milking though:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: You never know though, it could be better for the cheese making, already churned IYSWIM:D

    Can't have any more animals, it's like a zoo here already - not counting the DH:eek:

    Well all the above animals seen to now, time to go beddy byes before I have to get up early on the poop run. Good news is that DD has an interview for a job, in River Island. Hope she gets it, she will have no wages but at least be paying for her own clothes:rotfl:

    Good morning everyone,

    Its a lovely sunny day here, and I have only got one load of washing to do.!!:eek: Why do we feel the need to scout around and see if we can find more, just 'cos the sun is shining.??:o

    I am plodding through my de-cluttering mission, I threw out loads of old photos last weeks, duplicate one, views (that we can't remember where they were and also were very boring) its amazing the amount I got rid of. How exciting is my life.!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope you all are well, and to all who are feeling under the weather, get better soon. :)

    DS get his results today, so its like sitting on hot coals today, I won't be able to concentrate on anything.:eek:

    I'll be popping in and out all day today.:D
