    Oh - and the quote shall be revealed in this week's email, apparently. Nothing special, just a rather bad quip that seems to have appealed to him... [trying to set up air of interest, knowing that everyone will say 'ergghhh, is that it?' when they read it!]

    Some people are really up their own arrrr ses....:mad:

    Been on a very uninteresting and frankly an insult to my intelligence 'training course' today....purlease, should have renamed it....'how to teach your granny to suck eggs'.....!!!!!!

    One interesting point made re language and others making their clients feel 'small' by using complicated words to make a point...you know basically using language as a tool to undermine others, THAT was the only interesting point, the rest, was quite frankly shiote which in uncomplicated language means... shiote...:rotfl:

    Nuff said.


    Anyway, Tuesday done.


    Washing in as the temperature has dropped and rain is predicted.

    Saw my doc yesterday, all good, not out of the woods yet but on the path outta them there woods....I hope.;) Have another prescription and am awaiting some meds by post. Love my Lyme Doctor, he's brilliant really and his staff are equally as lovely.


    Flying wise;

    DW X 2

    Shopping put away

    erm...thats it, have a slightly better day tomorrow where I hope to catch up on my never ending paperwork.


    Piggers, I really don't understand why you don't dob your ex into the CSA, as you're not off to Uni for a while then don't see why he shouldn't contribute, you should get some money from him for the kids, its not fair.:mad:

    What is the point?

    I won't gain anything.. I CSA him.. he stops paying the bankloan I have an extra £280 a month to fork out to cover that and have even less than I have now.

    Glad you got somedecentnews from the doc.. ragardless of todays boredom.

    How is skinny min getting on at school this week?

    Sending you lots of positive selling vibes!

    THANK YOU!! I need them lots!

    I dont think your the only one I havent bought a thing yet and have usually done most of DS by now:eek: It's will be here before we know it.

    I am usually half way through.. 9 children, 1 grandboy, my mother, a stepdad a niece and several sisters... before we even get as far as OH's family.. I don't even want to think about it.. I may cry!

    Decluttered some ice cream.. NOM!

    I am now going to forage in the drug cupboard for the clarityn.. I am sick to death of the coughing so will drug it! I need a decent nights sleep.

    Moth decluttered from the bedroom (after I had a girly fit)
    Cat decluttered from my feet.. irritating thing was squiggling all over driving me mad!

    There is a very cute monkey in build-a-bear at the moment.. he has a huge smiley face.. very cute...
