    Hi everyone, tis me.
    Second day has been a bit better, although have a bit of a financial issue at present. Hopefully nothing I'll lose sleep over...

    Haven't found anywhere to live yet, but have found somewhere nice. Have to phone to arrange a booking, however, and my spanish is far too dreadful. Am hoping to find someone who can help.

    Just feeling a bit disorientated and worried, I guess. I hope you've all had great days x

    Elle, so what are you doing currently, are you staying in a hotel? Hope it all gets a bit less scary and OH looks after you!
    Elly, sorry, forgot to post - yes it's done, will get pics up when OH lets me have his phone (might be tomorrow - only did the fiddly bits today lol!). How are you and yours?
    Mabel - was wondering whether you'd gone on holiday! I can't 'share' your thing on FB, it won't give me the option, will try to figure it out later.
    Rosie, that's great! well done :) glad you had a nice weekend too.
    Dilli, that's great you're all chilled, bet it was lovely and peaceful, you should be all ready to get going again now :)
    Nikki, I had to use my whole total from here to pay off stuff and I now have nothing apart from the money I'm getting from the sulkies etc which is only keeping me in materials so far. But when I had to use the money from Ebay etc everyone on here said at least I hd the money there from this and wasn't having to borrow more or be stuck. So I guess the same is true for you? - it's a bit sad as it takes a chunk from your total but at least you had it there ready :)

    Kerri, sorry about your weekend, hope you have a better week!
    Hi everyone else, hugs to all, back later on xx xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
  • I remember my early days, Elle - it was scary but stick with it. I'd phone on your behalf, but I really don't think I'd understand the accent - it's very different from here. Maybe the hotel people could help?

    evening all -
    hope everyone is ok
    Saucy Elle - enjoy every minute of your adventure!
    Nikki- the money was there so you've still earned it - i'm the same i've had to dip into it for things - £300 for tyres, new beds for the kids, helped out with the holiday etc etc but it's money i earned extra so be proud of that, next year it will all be yours.
    Mambury - how is the wee one? have things settled down yet?, seems to be german measles on the go here with the wee ones (thank god mines are past all that)
    anybody heard from Crafty recently or munchki? hope they are both ok

    must move cake in oven (black shiny jewellry box to be made) and two banana loafs - money saving woohoo- would have thrown the old bananas out before as i cant stand banana loaf, taste or smell but the kids will scoff it, anybody else skint this week MrT's got 3kg bags pasta on for £2 - going to stock up for winter, and try and be no spend for shopping in January, started ebay again to cover christmas so will leave in paypal until december. Not much else doing here any body got a more exciting life they want to share?
