  • Afternoon all!

    Well done to everyone who took part in RN's challenge!:T

    Piglet fine - although his teacher said he got very upset as he couldn't do his trousers up after going to toilet. He struggles with the zip and hook and eye. She said they really don't mind if in the first year they wear black joggers. Wish they'd told us that to begin with!:mad:

    He did have a nice suprise though...his Daddy secretly took the afternoon off and cycled like mad to get to the school in time to meet me to pick him up :). Think that made his day.:T

  • SOS - What Fay said !:)

    Hi Folks,

    Just got back from holiday last night. I will have to have a catch-up read to see what you've all been up to. I hope everyone is well.
    We had a lovely time and it was great to have DSs with me all the time! I hardly see them at home. The weather was fab but now I'm back, it is raining and miserable here and have a mountain of washing to do. I think looking forward to holidays is much better than coming back from them!

    Congrats on the job GC :j
    Sim you are doing great - keep it up :T

    I did complete the challenge yesterday.

    I am off for house sitting job shortly so won't be online until Sunday evening (unless I pop here tomorrow when I come to feed my piggies)

    Having a day off today and have been running on the beach ;) IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!

  • Hi everyone,

    I feel a lot better this aftrnoon than I did in the early hours. I think it has started to sink in now that we've sold and it's time to look to the future.

    Congratulations Graeme on the new job, that's great news! :j

    I viewed a studio flat today. OMG what a poo-hole, I can't believe the agents had the gall to even show it to me. Communcal front door was smashed in - back one didn't have any glass in it and the flat was absolutely tiny and stunk of damp. Honestly, I couldn't get out quick enough. And they wanted £300 pcm plus council tax and bills - I don't think so!!! Terrible.

    So I have my fingers crossed for this room for rent in a shared house which I am viewing on Thursday. Area is nice, I've driven past and the house is nice and I've already seen lots of interior photos and it's all done to a nice standard. Fingers crossed! I wish I could view it sooner, but the owner is away until Wednesday, Bah.

    I have work again tonight til midnight, then 3 nights off, hoorah! I am going to a friend's leaving do tomorrow evening and I am driving and just paying for the meal, partly to save money and partly to avoid the booze. :)

    Have a lovely Friday.

    Hugs to all.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    :T:TSOS That's exactly what I was thinking!! I'm on 5 and I'm delighted:p I'm quite relaxed about my modest targets, I have my drinking undercontrol (mostly but ever vigilant) and that's what I wanted.

    Glad to hear that piglet had a good day MissP. Hope you didn't go out and buy his new trousers just yet. I wonder whether he found them difficult because they were too tight?
    Cazza, that studio flat sounds grim. It would be nice to have your own front door but not when it's kicked in! Good luck with the room next week.
    I'm in Swindon tomorrow, visiting my brother and no doubt watching my team get anhialated (sp?). I'll wave when I'm passing.

    I'm off to a hen party tonight:o My niece is getting married soon but I'm just going for a meal and a few glasses of wine. I think I'll leave the club scene after to the younger element.

    Have a good weekend all.
