Brizzled I am honoured that you thought of me!
Really I am so glad I have all you dear hearts in my corner, i honestly couldn't get through it without you. There was a point before I restarted my diary where I was actually going to just give up, sell up, leave OH and go back to America with the dogs I felt so alone.

I do think of you guys often...and your job has some similarities with my world so its another bond. Sorry to hear you were low NL...but do keep on going. We are all here for you. Great bunch on here..one day we will have to meet for a great DFD party in RL!!!!
Do think about selling the car..people I know use a Car hire club, (we have one permanently parked nearby) love it and its about £30 a month I think..maybe less so cheaper if you only do business miles. Do check it out. It's also much greener!!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Oh my goodness me, my magic hat has gone viral:eek:
Right Brizzled, Missrlr can pass the hat to you on Tuesday, as I didn't tell you that the magic is so powerful that you only need to wear it for a short time for optimum results which are extremely long lasting. Just open your lappy and it will appear as if by magic.
I was going to wear the magic hat myself tonight and would have galvanised me into action. I was going to do an hour of pilates (well if I am going to look like Jane Fonda when I am a great granny I have to plan ahead dontcha know); then clean the house from top to bottom (well, I live in a bungalow so really it would have been from side to side). But after a long and stressful week at work I decided not to don the magic hat after all and have slobbed about doing not very much at all.............maybe tomorrow.
Piq, I am quite sure that Mrs PG will share her hat with you, and whilst hers is a clone of THE magic hat, its magic is still very potent and there will be plenty of magic to go round I am quite sure, just make sure that Colin doesn't get hold of it because of course it hasn't been tested on animals:rotfl:
Do you know, girls, I used to quite sane until I met you lot - now look at me:eek:0 -
Oh NL - I am so glad that you didn't leave the UK. I want to come to your Debt Free party and wear my magic hat, and I don't really do international travel - in fact it will be an ordeal to go as far as London but for you dear I will endure it. I am not going to drive though, oh no, not even wearing my magic hat. I will come on the train, clutching a bowl of my signature home made coleslaw to my breast, and on the tube of course. I will also bring my pinny and feather duster as I don't want you having a cleaning fest just cos all your mse friends descend on you, oh no, I will have a quick flick round, then pour a glass of wine and get to know you all in RL.
If you don't want me to come you will have to move and not tell me where you are of course:rotfl:0 -

Tonight we are having left overs from last night which is super. In the post came the Tesco briefing saying I have £40 of points in my account to use on some kind of rewards. Also finished off some surveys and have a £10 amazon voucher.Mortgage: £280,752/ £262,515.84

I had a lovely snooze on the sofa for a couple of hours and DH has done picky food for supper and now I am have a nice drop of red vino to cheer myself up.Start info Dec11 :eek:
