    Toddles off to google lembit Opik.

    I gave up my offer of a seat at the football tonight (I'm not a fan but it was a free night out and I'm sick of these 4 walls) to my SIL so he could go out for once. The arrangement was that I would go to be with DD for a while and watch a dvd. She put on FB that OH is going to football and she is going to soak in the bath and read a book! I get the message. :(

    Bookie....I don't think she would put that on there in the hope that you would take the hint. Maybe she's going to have a bath and read a book before you get there??
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    No. She says she has nothing to give me for tea and no wine but I am welcome! I had my dinner early and had wine to take. Missed my lift now so never mind.

    Hi!
    Loving this idea!! Am definitely a follower of the old positive thinking, it's gotten me out of a few dingy places.

    Sooo busy at work just now, not got the time to pop in here and no energy when I get home. Still sticking at our challenges, and determined to have more NSD's, they are sooooo motivating!

    Anyhoo, my wee list:

    1. I am debt free and financially secure
    2. I have the cottage/farmhouse I dream of with the wee bit of land for my sheep, chickens and veggies :)
    3. I have a job that I enjoy and is not stressful
    4. I have plenty time and opportunity to sell my gorgeous handmade jewellery
    5. I am able to support my daughter comfortably through university

    Bookie - your DD's need a bit of a talking to! :mad:

    Car wise, DH is looking at a Vauxhall Zafira Elite - it's big enough to get his whizzy wheels in the back when the seats are down which would be fantastic.

    Contacted the council about getting a disabled parking bay outside the house and they're sending us out the application forms....don't think our neighbours will be happy but hey-ho!
