    LOL Skint - Barcelona won't know what's hit it when the Dribblers come to town. It'll make the hen parties look positively tame. In fact, Mabel can bring over a suitcase of merkins (try explaining that one to customs) and flog them to hen parties.

    Saucy, Sevilla is famous for its oranges. I think they're the ones used for marmalade.

    is there not a nudist beach just outside Barcelona? We could hit there too and get Mabel on the international merkin Map, - oh to be able to live these little daydreams what a scream that would be!

    good point - No theres not at the minute - but will build a way this afternoon if i get time
    There is now - as well as a couple of other small improvements to the code.

    Thank you! ooo - another thought, is it possible to have the ebay use name against each item in the overview section?

    Sorry I am being too lazy to pm!

    Skint, a friend dragged me to the nudist beach once (no I did not disrobe), and scream is exactly what I wanted to do ... it was not a pretty sight. They need burkhas, not merkins. I still have nightmares.

    Saucy- as long as your OH has the remote control, phone and takeaway phone number he'll be fine! You just need to concentrate on yourself, I know it's not the same but we're all here for you.

    I'm trying to block out the mental pic of nudist beaches!

    I reckon it might be worth giving the book stall a try Amber.

    Good evening everyone, the munchki has returned from her self inflicted kick up the backside seclusion to sort herself out once and for all abscence *whew*

    To start with, Hales, could you please cross out everything on my to do list as it is ALL done!!! *does the happy dance!*

    Signed on with the Council yesterday afternoon and refused to leave the office until I was seen, my application was reviewed and I was told how many points I have etc and then insisted they look up every available place that was actually currently available. RESULT!! They rang me this morning and have offered me a rather nice one bedroom flat, will just take a week or two to get the keys as the builders still have them as they were repainting etc.

    I have also found out that for the moment my job is secure, low paid, but a job all the same. I also have figured out how I am going to do the quillows, just need to get the lead for my machine and then source fabric etc, but plans are now in the works for them.

    I finally feel like I can breathe again and that the past 15 months of pure hell and I do mean pure hell have sapped everything I have inside me and there have been many many days where I have wanted to quit and at times in the very literal sense of quit. I have however someway and somehow managed to keep going, Yes I am well proud of myself and maybe that is wrong. I still have some battles to fight, ie. the divorce, car. But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I once again feel hope.

    I owe so much to so many of you, there is positively no way I can thank you all enough for all of your support, shoulders to cry on, hand holding and so much more. I have met some precious friends on here and I am eternally grateful.

    Anyway, I have waffled enough. Thank you for all the dribble, without all of it, merkins included *smirk* I would NOT be where I am right now.

    Thank you!! xxx
    I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody! Louis L'Amour
