    Evening all from a very tired Benbenandme ... last night I went to bed at about 9ish and watched the Apprentice, I fell asleep afterwards and was woken at 1.30 by sailorman calling for a chat ;) Well, we chatted and chatted until quarter to six this morning :eek: :o:p My alarm goes off at quarter past six so it wasn't worth going to sleep then,

    Why does he ring you so later? Hope you get your early night tonight

    We'd been texting earlier in the evening and it was getting daft, so I sent him one saying 'Just call me, would be easier to chat rather than loads of texts', well he didn't get it (works on a boat and signal can be pants), and got it at 1.30 so called me then :eek: :o Told him today he's not allowed to call me that late tonight :)

    Evening all, I managed a very early night last night (was aslep by about 8.30 ;)), and slept like a baby :D

    I feel a lot better today, we're off to mums in a bit for some sparklers and a bonfire. Spends today = £1.20 on a kitkat each for me and a friend.

    A bit of news today concerning the ongoing stuff; the next stage will start being dealt with a couple of days after Christmas :cool:, no idea how long it will take to get it all finished once and for all, happy new year and all that ...

    Morning all, we got up early and went off on the bus as a treat for ds getting all his reward chart at school :T We went to a local town and did a bit of shopping before getting the bus back again. I have spent about £30 already today :o; sainsburys £16 on a litre of Baileys (£9ish :T), 24 x hula hoops, crusty rolls and some kit-kats and their magazine; Primark £1 on some gloves for shoebox and 50p on some new pants for ds (reduced from £2.50); £9 in poundshop on a few xmas decs, a book for ds all about the human body, and a few more bits for the shoebox.

    The flat is an absolute bombsite, the plan now is to try and get that back under control, mend the washing machine that seems to have a few issues, and then maybe get some xma cards written tonight during the xfactor/ strictly fest :D:D

    Apart from the uncertainties in the background, it sounds like a much better week for you both! Enjoy the rest of the weekend x
