    Hi all

    I don't usually come in here as usually find it hard to find the time just to enter competition, but been signed off work for a week with mumps :( I don't even feel that unwell, just have a fat wobbly face, it's just the contagious issue which has got me signed off. Never had more than a day off before so a week is going to feel like a lifetime! The dog is dead chuffed to have some company though!

    Who else is here then to keep me company? :)
    2009 Wins = £833
    2010 Wins = £6,597
    2011 Wins = £7,083

    £2,012 in 2012 = £450/£2,012
    20 in 2012 = 4/20

    Hiya All!! :hello:

    Phew!! can't stay long must dash

    New home front update:

    found out this morning that the decorator will be finished this evening :)

    managed to order some new carpets this morning and they are being fitted tomorrow

    also ordered a new fridge and electric cooker which is being delivered on Saturday

    also found out this morning from the stepson that one of the neighbours is a man with a transit van and that he will probably be able to move us over the weekend

    so the move could be on for Saturday or Sunday :eek::eek:

    in the middle of cooking lunch now then it's back to the packing again :(

    TTFN

    Best of Luck :)

    Hi All

    Wow that seemed like a long hour!!!

    Glad to see so many wins. Well done Wingobins and Well done Korky on winning from your own post. Both well deserved.

    GeorgeBee - I had a week off work a fortnight ago with an absess under a tooth and I looked like elephant man and was very cheesed off, but throwing myself into comps kept me distracted. Hope you feel better soon. :D

    I am going on hols on Saturday and so as well as usual packing etc this time I have also done some "MSE preparation". I.E. Made sure I have entered every comp I need to up to end of August. Bought a dongle for lappy so I can enter "Dailies" if I get a chance (Hubbies idea lol), and checked out the Argos clearance where we are going for a few bits we havent been able to get locally. Sad I know! :o
    Aims for 2014
    Drink a glass of water a day, Empty handbag at least once a week, Continue "not putting things off" and tackle things head on, Treasure people around me, Stay healthy and well away from hospitals, Continue to declutter/decorate house slowly and not get stressed because I can't do everything at once. :D
