    Behind every succesful man is a knackered woman lmao... sorry couldnt resist :-)

    I dont doubt it for a minute. Without my wife and thomas I would probably lose about 2-3 development hours a day as I can live in a pigsty so cleaning wouldnt bother me (Bad I know) but I would have to cook meals etc.

    This system has been born out of about 45 hours hard work over 12 days. without DW I would have only had 45mins a day to work on the site!

    Morning :D.
    I'm now a bar-maid :j. Start in 2 weeks (apparently going to be really busy this weekend and they don't wanna tramatise me :rotfl:) Will be minimum pay but since im 22 in 8 days at least it will be the higher NMW.

    Found an extra £100 in an account but used it to pay off the balance on my HBOS CC. Not to long till MBNA can go **** off. Got my 0% card aswell, mental note must call to activate it. Going to gut this house today and find more eBay stock. Going to market my beauty skills.

    Oh anyone thats near the Livingston area and wants a FREE massage I need a[STRIKE] guinea pig[/STRIKE] model for a practical assessment on Monday night :D.

    Well done on the job Nikki!!!

    Right- suns out, off out with the dog :-)
  • Still not sure if I'll be travelling - so far the flight has not been cancelled but that doesn't mean anything! I won't believe it's going ahead until I'm in the air ...

    Amber I did see on the news today that once the planes are flying again that paid up customers have priority - so they won't delay flights to get people who are stuck home - so if the flights are allowed then you will be flying!!

    Also did you see I shared you FB page - you now have a few new fans!! Hopefully it might lead to some work, extra traffic - I was a little naughty and posted a comment saying how you had helped me!! Thought it might help a little. xx
    Life is a work in progress

    LOL Nixi, nothing wrong with a little naughtiness. As for flight - I'll keep monitoring the situation. Looks like nothing is certain at the moment. I did read that people who are stranded will get priority, so a case of wait and see.

    YAY Nikki!!


    Boo at the flight Amber....

    Hey everyone else....

    Rubbish start to the day here at Mambury Towers. Asthma (now supposedly allergy induced, all of a sudden at the agfe of 32 and 3/4) played up last night and DD helpfully put my inhaler away somewhere nice and safe yesterday....stil hasn't turned up! So not a lot of sleep last night (I was turning the bedrooms out at 1am trying to find the blasted thing...Grrr kids!) a trip to the doc and another £7.20 in prescription charges....

    then I get an email stating I am not wanted by Lionbridge.....booo hiss.... I guess it just ebay to rely an for me. If only DD was at school, then I am sure I would get the TA job at my local Comp....

    And OH has just phoned to say he's away all week, and I have a Governors meeting tonight, the house isin a bloomin' tip and I have a couple of girls coming over to look after the kids tonight.... oh and I promised the Board a cake for the meeting tonight.

    Grrrr need some chocolate.

    Still, the house is nice and quiet!!

    Off to parcel up some ebay sales and answer a few emails.... then I might list a few more bits....
