Thanks guys, Tigz we're going to Soho's in the town near me where you used to work? I will have a look at free saturdays too and let you know

Chev, it was a really good match, really chuffed to get a draw at the end of it, Peterborough score so many goals and have won loads of games 4-0, 5-0 recently, so to go 2-0 down and come back to a draw away from home was very pleasing
So this morning has been quite eventful already, ds has gone to his dads, I went to get mum a mothers day present, then another trip to tescos, this time I got ££23 of shopping, used a £14 voucher so only paid £9 and should get a voucher back for approx £15 :beer: I bought all food stuff this time too, 2 x 2litre bottles of pepsi, 4 x jammie dodgers, 2 x jars of coffee and another 160 teabags.
After that I went to the Bournemouth club shop to get some bits for my brothers 40th birthday in a couple of weeks, then home. Postie has brought me a letter saying they don't think I'll need to attend court :j :j :j It says that I need to keep the week free in case but unless I've already received a letter about the court (which I haven't) then I probably won't be needed
..... Now I need to decide whether I want to go and listen in the public gallery so I know the truth of what actually happened. Part of me feels I ought to for ds sake but a big part of me doesn't want to have to have anymore to do with them than necessary
Still, I have a few months still to ponder on it 
So, the rest of today .... housework, housework, housework ... then a bath and get ready for tonight :eek:

Chev basically Tescos have a deal on where they say they're cheaper than Asda, and if you find something cheaper in Asda they will refund double the difference ... well thats too good a challenge for the likes of mse people :rotfl: On the grabbit board people list the products that get you the best deals, and some Tesocs end up paying you to take away :TMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Not too bad so far, am having half an hour or so on the sofa with the laptop now, only 5 days at school this week before the holidays, so as long as the place is relatively tidy I'm not gonna beat myself up over it.Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

I'm home

Date went well, he was a really nice guy .... but there was not really any spark
We didn't have much in commom except for yucky ex's :rotfl::rotfl: Don't get me wrong, it was a nice evening, but in places there were a few awkward silences and then he filled them with interview style questions
His wife only left in December so he is still soooo not over it, and in many ways I could see the old me in him, the hurt and pain 
It was a pleasant evening but there wasn't the natural flow of chatter like there was with coffee guy. in fact, he was the first person I texted on the way back
Pizza though was delish ... crispy duck and hoi sin sauce pizza (thin crust) :T :T I skipped dessert and just had a coffee, so all in all I think I did pretty well with my WW points

Aw, that's a shame but sounds like you had a good night anyway. More importantly though, what shoes did you wear in the end?

But at least you went. That is the main thing. It must be very hard to put yourself out there after a break up. I can't imagine doing it myself! Someone would have to come and find me lol.
Hope you have a good week. Thanks for explaining the Tesco thingy. Sounds like a deal to take advantage of cos I am sure that pretty soon the rules will change, just like they did with other deals
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

- bought all the birthday cards I need for this month in the bargain card shop instead of having to get them at the last minute in tescos at silly prices
