    Morning all, Tigz and her dd are coming over today which I'm looking forward to, haven't seen them for ages, we'll go for a walk down the beach and have a gossip :)

    I'm spending the next hour or so with my fingers in my ears going la-la-la ... trying to avoid the temptation of getting Take That tickets :o I really would love to go but can't justify the cost (cheapest tickets in the back of Wmbley = £60, plus cost of getting there/back approx £30 in petrol, plus tube ticket from outer london, clearly looking at £100+), so I'm going to give it a miss but I really really want to go :o:o I will wait until its out on dvd and treat myself to that, nowhere near the same but I have seen Take That and Robbie both at Milton Keyenes before and they were both amazing :)

    I really want to go too, but for the same reasons as you I won't be. I've tried getting onto the website but they've crashed!!

    I forgot I've got a man coming round this morning to paint my ceiling, he said this morning and he was here at 8.30 Wed morn so I assumed he'd be here by now, but he isn't!! I haven't had a shower yet as didn't want to miss him... I'll text when we're on our way. xx

    Good news on the immersion heater! Hope it doesn't cost too much for you. Struggling to get on f/book at the moment as we are away for a couple of days and having trouble loading it - just glad I can get on here!!! Hope you have a good day, Lucy

    and I'm clicking refresh like a million other TT nutters all over the country after all ;):o ...

    I've also just done the free bet from one of the offers I did which should bring me in a profit of £21.50, which means that added to the £9.50 from the other day (£31), means I now need to find another £33 for the mortgage pot and £100 for the holiday fund. I had another thought last night, next month I will get 2 lots of child benefit as its paid every 28 days and next month I will get a payment at the beginning of the month and another before the end of the month, so thats an extra £85 which will either go towards christmas or could go into the holiday pot or could pay the plumber :D

    Gald to have helped Hypno, see I knew your mobile number would come in handy ;):D

    Today has been a great day, am so pleased I got the tickets, I ended up with two and have arranged to go with a friend from where I used to live, I haven't seen her since I moved down here and I can crash at hers afterwards too so I don't need to worry about getting home either :T

    Tigz and her dd came over and we had a lovely afternoon down the beach and then watching some trains :) and then tonight another friend popped in for an hour for a gossip, so all in all its been a really nice day :D Can't believe we're back at school in a couple of days :(
