    hey every bit of the plan counts as doing great Elly. The making dinner and packing etc are just as crucial to pulling it off as the stuff your DH is doing. plus I remember your posts about all the scrubbing and cleaning you have been doing and the boxes you have unpacked so take some credit.

    Loving your word for the next stage of your life Jo - it's easy to forget the importance of friendships in the hubble bubble of life. And lol about your sink!

    Munchki, sounds like you have been having fun. Nice to hear that you are growing wings too. I'm presuming you mean you have been fluttering around your sink?

    Elly you are making me tired thinking about all the work you are doing! And on that note I'm off to bed :)

    Night all

    Okay, Okay...
    I have a bone to pick with the universe...
    Some really great stuff has happened... but I seem to have had bizarre luck over the last week...
    the day after the blog broke...
    I accidentally tumble dried my oyster card... luckily still works...
    I then managed to wash the same oyster card in the washing machine... luckily still working
    lol
    smoking charger...
    then today my mobile phone and mp3 player got stolen on the way home...
    because I took an alternative route into the 'ghetto' heartlands only because of a fire a Canon Street Station which delayed trains by at least 30mins -60 mins...

    on the bright side 2k paid off
    no calls made on stolen mobile

    on the bright side the Prince of Zamunda got me a replacement MP3 player 8GB instead of my measly 2GB - hooray

    NLID is moving my blog across - hooray

    Had to facebook friends and am going to meet up with a dear friend who I haven't been in contact with for a loooong time - hooray

    Had a lovely bath - hooray

    The phone was a hunk of junk, I was meant to upgrade to an iphone -thank god I didn't otherwise this would be a tearful dribble - hooray

    Oh and at least it was pickpockted someone lamped my best mate in the head, knocked her out and stole her bag, it sucks having something stolen but I am grateful that it wasn't violent - semi hooray as I wish I could lamp the person who hit my mate.

    All - on the threads I am struggling to keep up... I will try and do my best but I find it so easy to post here and catch up with everyone.

    Jo - although I should be urging money saving, you deserve a bday treat lovely Joprah x Echo what Mabel and Em say it is good to get in touch with friends. Do it x

    Munchki - *waves* thanks sweets x

    Elly - hope DH feels better x

    Mabel - Lol at germans x

    2cats - waves x

    Right both moaning and hoorays done xxx and my meditation for tomorrow and the rest of the night is ' what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' and 'Maktub' I got that from the Alchemist... I might have to give that a read again. meaning of Maktub right here.
    Night all
    xxxx
    (and wish me luck...lol)

    Morning everyone.
    Dilli, I really hope things start improving for you but glad you ahve found some hurrays.
    Joey I think munchki may be growing the baby wings of a little social butterfly. Go Munchki !!!
    Nixi what were you doing up at that time hun. hope you got some sleep.
    Paula if you are around I really like that name(mentioned on FB) and its available. Why not ask on the ville and see what everyone else thinks.
    We had a thunderstorm about 3 am for an hour and its still damp and grey here but good forall the plants.
    Got DS doctor appointment about asthma later this morning and tomorrow is payday. we have enough food , petrol in the car and enough money in bank to get to tomorrow without going over our overdraft limit.
    of course not living in our overdraft would be even better but thats a few steps down the line yet.
