    Hey Everyone

    Just back from Lancaster, having a nice glass of wine at home. What are you all up to? Cinny, it must be lovely having your own place, are you still really pleased? I am and we've not been sharing since March, LOL.

    Birdie, I'm so impressed with your gym dedication :) I'm hoping to go and see my sister in February, but I hope it's not still too cold. Missing Tete as well, hope she's okay. Wendz, so glad your scan went well, it's so exciting!

    I'd have never thought Birdie would turn into a little gym bunny! :D Must be good though, loving something which is obviously good for you. You'll be making green monsters next!

    Lara, I'm still loving it :D OH keeps on turning to me and saying 'We live together' most days like it's just hit him. Have you got any plans for the weekend?

    No exciting plans over here, don't have the money for anything really so it's a quiet one. Going to try and get back into Toluna though, and drag OH out for a walk. Which, admittedly, makes him sound a bit like a dog. All the snow is going though :( Everything's just slush!

    Spent this morning tidying the kitchen and writting a snag list on the whiteboard for NIM and dad. I went over to mum and dads last night as NIM and dad were playing football, so me, mum and brother had steak and chips and it really hit me when I was there how nice it was to have this clean, smart house where you could just relax. I'm sick of trapsing through bits of plaster and nails, everything being dusty, nothing being finished.

    NIM impressed me by grabbing 3 mystery shops for today, which should make us about £24 after petrol cost to get there. I really, really should spend the day money making, but the lure of tidying is calling to me.

    Hope the house gets sorted sooner rather than later Dinah, must be a nightmare.

    Well done NIM on the mystery shops!

    I came down to Southampton on the train yesterday and went to see my friend and her little 9 month old, he has grown up loads since I last saw him and is so cheeky! Then I went to my friends last night for our Christmas get together and we did our secret santa. My friend made me a bag holder for carrier bags, is really sweet! My biscuits went down well too.

    I am helping my Mum with her Christmas tree this afternoon and then getting the train back up later in time for x factor.

    My Mum managed to get the helicopter i wnated for OH today in shops yay which is good news considering I managed to lose my purse the other day!
  • Hi girls, I'm still reading/lurking every so often, but really this thread is all weddings, babies, boyfriends and houses and I'm feeling pretty disjointed from it all at the moment, disjointed in general I suppose. Anyway you don't want to hear how sad I am all the time do you!

    Hope you're all well x

    I'm sorry to hear that Tete, but we do want to hear from you, even a good old mope or whinge it's all okay. I like to think there is enough money conversation in here for us to be on the right site - I certainly know that's whats keeping me awake at the moment! (That and mould fear) x

    I'm not talking about any of these things Tete, come back to us, the Irish are known for being good shoulders to cry on after all, that and blowing stuff up but we are kinda working on that image :)

    So what is news in the world of Tete?

    Just let me know what old Poitin is ready for action. Mrs Poolie is away from Christmas Eve and I will be back up in the North East for the week.
