  • OH MAN.

    I am so tired. Such a busy busy day!

    Just got back from a Manic Street Preachers gig. Aside from almost being crushed in the mosh pit, it was awesome. Got to see my Dad too, and he slipped me £20 for 'groceries'. Awesome~

    Hi,
    Just back from my choir party. It was a lot better than I thought it might be.....quite a good laugh.

    Just caught up on the two pages of chat that occured since I've been off and now I'm going to bed. Glad you've decided on the name for your business Bun...with I lived nearer as DS2 has her prom next year and you'd get loads of orders. Still, I'm sure all the schools near you will do the same. Can you get fliers to them?

    Bl00dy tired now and not sure I'll make church tomorrow morning (later this morning).

    Night all ... catch you tomorrow.

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

    Just catching up from last night. I fell asleep during strictly, woke up started watching x factor, couldn't bear it and started to watch casualty and fell asleep.....lol getting bloody old.

    Spudly.....kids are really cruel. Not sure what to say really except to let your DS know that it is them that have the problem not him. But I am sure he knows that already cos he is a lovely boy.

    Beanie, I remember my sister joining me from her 'special' school when my mum decided she would get a better education at 'normal' school. It was horrendous for us both, neither of us were equipped to deal with the bullying (and extreme sympathy!) Not sure I know what I am trying to say really except that I understand what you are going through. kids are very cruel.

    Morning All, feeling really tired this morning but will have to tidy up soon as my Dad comes round for lunch and I wouldn't want him to see it in this mess!

    I have made another money spending decision. I am going to have to buy a new settee (well two) because the ones we have are so uncomfortable and I don't think it is helping my daughter's pain as they only come up to shoulder height and so she can't rest her head, causing shoulder pain (and on me too). It is a shame because in every other way, colour, stlye and material, it is a lovely sofa and looks good in this room.

    I hate the fact it is yet more debt, especially when I expected to be debt free, but then bought my car which was a necessity, but then everything can be judged as a necessity when you are trying to justify debt.

    I have to balance the debt against the comfort of my daughter and of course then it is a no brainer.

  • Morning!
    Totally shattered. Why on earth shops have to stay open until 8pm on a Saturday totally baffles me. The last 2 hours realy dragged last night.
    Got the famiy coming for lunch later - easy though as bought M&S meal deals and they had £6 off a £30 spend. I have 3 course Sunday dinner for 5 with wine and a spare meal in the freezer. Just need to do the roasties.
    Week off now as taking the Brownies away for 3 nights. :eek:

    Morning all. Just had my porridge but have run out of tea so am having some ginger and honey concoction which doesn't really hit the spot but it's all I've got.

    The forecast is for stunning blue skies here so should get some washing out. Just watching last night's X factor and will then decide what to do with the day.

    Sammy....15 mins on, 1 hour off sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
    Bookie....shops stay open until 10pm in the shopping centres Mon - Sat round here, so it could have been worse. I take it you don't work on a Sunday?
    Tenmah....do you have to buy a new sofa? Could you get a lovely (reclining if you like) armchair for her.

    Have a lovely Sunday everyone...
