NSD no. 14 for me please, might even get 15 tomorrow as OH is paying for me to go to the zoo as part of my birthday treats

butdoineedit?

Yay NSD 9 today :j :j

Been a fab day today, the training was great & it was held in an asian community centre so instead of the usual curly sarnies on the buffet we got home made curry!! It was like a free takeaway :T

BigMummaF - it's not quite a college course but taking your advice i signed up to do a bit of voluntary work with someone i met on the training, am already excited at all the new friends i will meet

& i just have to share this quote with you cos i love it....
Having a guy dump you and say "We can still be friends" Is like having your mom say "Your dog died but you can still keep it" :rotfl:
I'm definitely going to remember this the next time ex phones for a friendly conversation that leaves me in bits!!!

& on the hat theme, i've been baking tonight, knocked up a few of these if anyone would like one, style & sugar should make sure we are the life & soul of the wedding :rotfl:

Work, then Nans for tea, then Stitching at a friends= another nsd woohoo. Stitching show tomorrow though so will be spending tomorrow

Well, my door has now been fixed (although they didn't have right part. I've now got a silver handle whilst the gold one is on order). Major spend day tonight as it was grocery shop and petrol.

I watched someone fill up their BMW 528i, they got to £70 :eek: and then stopped, I think it could have taken more! I got to £50 :eek: and refused to put any more in. It was at Asd4 though and I paid with Asd4 CC so got 42p off but even so, what a rip-off. (:rotfl:just remembered that velcro sound BMF) Our cheapest petrol is 117.9.

NSD for me yesterday. Bit of a cheeky one as went to the Antiques Roadshow with DM, who drove, paid for parking, and bought me lunch.

Was huge fun, although I never want to queue for anything every again :rotfl:Unfortunately no amazing surprises on valuations, which is good because it was all family "heirlooms" so no terrible decisions to make

Actually would recommend AR as a good MSE day out. With a packed lunch and a folding chair, and it would have just been the £3 for parking and petrol, for free advice and you meet some lovely people while you're waiting - its like grown up show and tell!:T

Big Mumma - thanks so much for your reply to my post - I was having a wee "sorry for myself moment" this afternoon and when I read it it fair cheered me up to find someone was thinking about me:A Course you can borrow the "bum-clencher" expression - fairly accurate sometimes!:rotfl:

Aww jintyb..... I'm thinking about you now, sorry I wasn't around earlier to send you a hug. Have one now instead

Hope you're OK now. You may well have a rough week financially, but you will get through it.. you've got a great spirit and a brilliant positive attitude.

Hang in there, it'll soon be payday again.

Hope OH is OK and recovered from the infection now.

Take care and thinking about you

I'm now going to feel very stupid if it isn't your birthday, so please humour me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sneaks back in, spent the last few days drowning in tea as well as ordering materials and discussing the project with numerous builders and I ended up with no time to keep up with what is happening here or odering tartan baseball boots. My new role as tea lady is stopping me from leaving the house resulting in 18 NSD's
