    erm no

    I definitely DO NOT need the competition:);)

    advice please

    falsies or the real me?

    (eyelashes that is) the falsies are subtle - effective but subtle so much so that my friends think I've had my hair done or something...
    (you know, one of those something different but I can't think what situations)

    hex
    - like your thinking...hope you don't lose the house but at least you have sight of what's important...after all we're only here once.

    And some people must be having the worst day of their lives today...I cannot imagine how you would cope with some things...

    Mind you Mrs Chaos would be well placed...and she would recognise me...

    You won't lose the house, and you now both have several more hours in the day as he isn't communting. Can you pay a lump sum off the mortgage when he gets the redundancy (or spend it on getting all the stuff done you had planned for the next few years!)?

    Thank you to all the lovely people who've sponsored me :D:D Still not sure I'm looking forward to it....

    Right, where have II'm having a day in Norwich tomorrow with DD, DS and his GF, no build a bear but DD has already started ordering!

    What Lush goodies did you get - I'm an addict but there are still some I havent tried!

    I got some veganese conditioner and I love juicy shampoo. All other brands of hair stuff make my head itch like mad. I also got some ocean salt cleanser (it has vodka and lime in it..nom nom) and some dream cream body lotion. I took 10 tubs back and got a brazened honey and seaweed face mask free. They also gave me a free sparkle gift box :D.

    Valli...re Yorkshire fellas. I have been with mine for 17 years now and he's not a bad old stick really. Tight as a duck's wotsit and speaks as he finds so you know where you stand!! But he can be very loving and as defintely mellowed with old age. As for being in touch with his feminine side, he is not adverse to a lushy bubble bath and has been known to indulge in the odd spray tan :D

    cheers everyone - we are fine, believe me this is a positive outcome other than the finacial issues and even that is 20 something weeks off :beer:

    Valli - real you, my ex (asian) husband had blue contact lenses, it didn't half confuse people and really, what is the point? I'd rather be boring me. The right person will appreciate it - my now DH did.

    I need to sober up enough to make beds. I think the thing that pees me off the most is the bit where I ironed a weeks worth of work shirts for him yesterday and he now wont need them. Beyond that we are happy bunnies :D:D:D.

    ooh, much excitement!

    DH was formally put on leave today pending redundancy :D:D:D. He hates his job so great from a morale point of view. I don't care if we lose the house, just good to see him looking so much happier.

    Happiness and health are whats more important no matter what happens you will work through it I am sure.

    Pigpen Our Drs have changed to a similar way of doing things about a year ago all very well if you aren't rushing about in the mornings but they are now letting you book from 2pm for afternoon appointments as so many have complained not sure if yours do the same or not.

    No flying done today got stuck in traffic coming home tonight so feel shattered my back is killing from being in the car for to long so will catch up tomorrow hopefully.
