    Ahhh bless you hun. It's a pleasure having you here. :)

    Do you like bingo? There are two bingo sites you can join - just have it playing in the back ground. The details are in the first posts.

    There's one (BP) you have to put some effort into (you have to do ten posts on the forum everyday) to boost points, but it isn't to be mentioned on here - because most of us got booted off the site for being friends. You can earn £5 Am voucher every two weeks with that one.

    The other one WoOOHoo00 takes ages to redeem but it's all extra money for not a lot of work. Just have it playing on another tab.

    ETA: Nicnax - sign up to this http://www.freepostcodelottery.com and enter your postcode. Every day at 1pm you get an email - you check to see if your postcode has been drawn, and if it has you win the money in the pot :)

    The clarks we use was extremely busy as it is an outlet one, but there were loads of staff and we got a good fitter, and DH ran back and forth like a loon till we got good shoes for DS2. He measured 11H on the machine, but he had to go to 11 1/2H to get a good fit, though she did try him in G. He is just off the scale.

    DS1 is only 12 1/2 F so there is not much difference between them. DH suggested getting them the same pair of shoes, but I vetoed that as it will be hard enough getting them both into school uniform every morning as it is without that.

    Ds2 doesn't start for another 3 weeks, but I did think just get them. Now I have everything apart from a lunchbox for DS1, but I'll get that next week. I've been buying uniform since June as our local little uniform shop with school logo on jumpers sells out quick. I didn't want to not be able to get stuff.

    Now to label it all, as I only did school jumpers so far. :o

    Had a busy evening, playing bingo everywhere, reading and rating, and did a £1 on viva. Seems to be ok again now. I could do with writing something too, but I am getting a bit passed it. I might try a book one.

    kec09- surveys, surveys and more surveys :D Keep yourself busy and the next few days should go by quickly.

    There are so many sayings that fit your situation - "always darkest before the dawn" and hopefully "every cloud."

    There was another one on Frasier something along the lines of the best revenge was too be successful - now if you can do that and then be happy think how smug you can be.

    Hi everyone,

    just popped in quick

    someone asked about collect +

    I used it and basically it was ace. I wanted to send a parcel to DD it was £8.46 with PO. So I came home with the attention of leaving it until I went down.

    Read about collect + Sent it to her for £3.45 but she had to collect it from her local point , which was the local store. It got there the next day and the advantage was , she could collect it anytime the shop was open, 6am to 10pm, save waiting for postie. :T

    kec -hope your ok

    have a good bank holiday everyone :D

    Morning guys.

    Kec. Nice to hear from you. I think the best thing is probably to keep busy. Anything you can to stop you thinking. When I was in my terribel state with depression a couple of years ago I got lost in facebook games which were repetitive such as egg hunting. It passed the time. Cleaning was also a good one, or sitting on my exercise bike and watching the minutes go by as I cycled.

    I managed to write another review last night, as well as rating and doing some knitting. I was busy, and up till midnight again. :o I never learn. Kids didn't wake till 8:30 though, so that was ok.

    I saw your comment Rufus about being based in Kent. I hadn't realised that. We stop in Deal when we go down there, and I love that part of the world.
