    Popped out with OH and kids to go to Toysrus and the park, ended up getting dragged into Currys for ONE WHOLE HOUR just to look at expensive tellys that we can't afford to buy.....

    I did get to go to macdonalds though, its' your fault Heath ;)

    Sounds like my OH Jo...for some reason he likes to drag me round ferrari and aston martin garages dribbling over cars we will never ever afford, even in our wildest dreams. It doesn't seem to him slightly silly that we drive round these garages in a ford fiesta :eek:. I tend to slump in my seat and hide........

    Lucky you on the mcdonalds. My friend whisked me off for coffee, which is just as well as OH planned on us being home all day....despite the fact I'd been stuck at home 75% of the week. He's driving me slightly mad.....

    Just realised how whiney I'm sounding. God I need to belt up I think!

    Just having bad few days.....we had letter off bank today about stepdaughters bank account (the one her mum emptied for her). It is now overdrawn. :eek:

    OH is going to contact the bank (he is listed as her legal guardian on the forms and she has given written consent previously for him to have say over her account - she is still only 15) and close the account. That should cause a ruccus but getting to the point where I just don't care.

    Safe journey back Fay

    Miss P - hugs to you!

    We had lovely day at the church fair and had ploughman's lunch and met lovely retired couple and had nice chat with them over lunch. Now full of fish and chips and then jam doughnat (sp?) with cup of tea later when BF gets here. I better get out for a run tomorrow or I won't be able to fit into my new trousers that I am collecting on Tuesday.

    Hang the flags out....AF.....no real 'bells' at all...just very tired & thought 'can't face drinking & writing off the next day for driving etc'....funnily enough G/F had quite a bit (shes calorie counting & hardly drinks in the week)!! No anxiety/stress....sure my sleep won't be the best though!
