    3.5 days until vacation, I can NOT wait. MY DIY pedicure looks good from a distance

    Just catching up and loving the Doug / Dog/ Brain story so much.

    I think though ,that you have now gone off on your much needed hols so I am a bit late posting ! Hope you ahve a really lovely time though if you have gone !!

    Re the Inland Revenue, you will probably see over on my diary the agro we have had with them, they told me that although we are on a payment plan , they dont have the power to stop the nasty letters !!! Well if they dont have the power, who the hell has I ask ?!!

    Oh and while you are all on pedicures, I dont have them either , I would rather give birth than have someone near my feet ! x:rotfl:

    48 Hours to my holiday. I finally got my invitiation to become a British Citizenship. Very exciting! (although I am sure that it will cost something!)

    I really hate "Them" Paying them doesnt seem to be enough to please them, "Them" seem to want to torture us and scare us to death too!

    I could go on forever and ever and ever about stories of "Them", but you have a wonderful holiday to look forward to, so all thoughts of "Them " must be put to the back of your mind, and be replaced in the forefront by a lovely ice cold Pina Colada instead ! Why is there no cocktail smiley, could somebody please invent one ?!

    And Yey to the British Citizenship Invitation !

    Hello Lovely Friends!

    I am back, tanned and FAT.

    The good news: I only spent $300 USD on holiday which is about £170. I did have a massage and bought 3 little pairs of silver earrings for birthday gifts for friends.

    So I am now going to do some fleabay, as well as have a meeting with Miss Malaprop later on so should have some doozies to share tomorrow.

    xx
