    Get the best wins off postals etc so I make myself do them. i dedicate Wednesday nights to them ;) Quite fun actually, just hate sticking stamps on them :rotfl:

    oooh no, lists, you must have 1000's!!!!!

    I couldn't afford all the stamps. :o

    What have you won through the postals?

    I usually end up making a couple at the beginning of the day, and then as I cross things off them and make a mess of them, I start new ones just before I go to bed. :o

    :hello: Everyone,

    Morning! hope all is well,wet in Devon where I am today,not nice at all.Off out to see a friend for lunch and a chat,Got a mouth ulcer at the moment which looks like mouth has been bruised,Just gone to chemist to get some cooling gel to soothe it and I have just applied some.Mums got her Canadian friend staying with her at the moment so tomorrow I dont go to Mums for Lunch so I will be on here for a change.Got my own Roast dinner for tomorrow a nice birds eye one.

    Went to lettings for a letter of consent from my landlord so I can have a dog as Animals in Distress want it in writing that permission has been granted to me,so I am now on their waiting list as of yesterday for a dog.It will be a small dog I want and I will give it all the love it deserves and nice walks.Not rushing but at least things are going forward at the moment and my flat's been passed a home check as I said previously.I am ready for this huge commitment as well seeing as I love the dogs at Animals in Distress a great deal.A Border Collie called Ki who I walked yesterday is going to a new home in a week so possibly wont see them again but shes lovely to walk and so so loyal.I won on Ping to win yesterday and I got excited thinking it was the phone or camera only for it to be a 4 pack of Microwave chips and my excitement soon went :rotfl:

    Have a lovely day!

    love and light,

    Katie xxx

    I'll have some of your fairydust if you don't mind Korky:D - having a rubbish comping time lately :(& I just look for wee things - was hoping for a rimmel lippie or something from glamour but not getting anything at all (although replacing my very old mobile would be fab) 57 pages behind in the comps & no desire to do them:o
    My poor postie is wondering why I keep giving him dirty looks:rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning everyone
