    Just sat outside for an hour in a jumper and read my book. Desperate to get out. Typically just as I have given up and come in for the night the flipping sun appears. :mad:

    Goes off to search for 'Come Dine with me down under' and more wine.

    Where's Buffy huh! I can't be bothered with ebay either....Chloe gone to stay at Nats so me and OH have the night off.....i don't want to go out and spend money but he does! think we have compromised on walking to the pub, which involves me getting dressed and looking half normal...which I was trying to avoid really

    Oooh! I just watched it too Bookie! I have to say I quite enjoyed it - I found it much less b1tchy than the UK one...although I thought that girl Jennifer was just purposefully difficult and hard to please UNTIL it was her turn and then she realised that it's blo0dy difficult to cook a 3 course meal for 5 people!!

    Oh my goodness, I have just read back through all the posts from this afternoon. Bookie, I haven't been on the boards for very long (only since May) so I didn't know your story until today. You sound like you have been through so much and I admire the way you have handled it. I hope you are back to stay on the boards - maybe we can all make a "new" crowd :o As for being taken to the pub - not sure where you are....but how about a virtual :beer:?

    Tenmah - your post was so lovely (as usual I blubbed!)

    LMC - hope you're alright, whichever choice OH makes...we are here for you to vent, no matter what.

    Elfen - oh-er!! Have fun ;)

    Claire - hope your back is a wee bit easier for your crafting tomorrow
