    Ryder Cup Terror going on here :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:, was fine when we had no chance :cool:.

    Some stuff sold on ebay and I haven't packed it up yet :(.

    Plan for the week:
    • Take lunches to work every day
    • Coffee spends on Weds, but will be free on return journey with loyalty card
    • Will be trying to finish early Fri as did ridiculous hours this week and still tired :(. Ended up winning 50k+ business though (which is a lot to our little company :D)
    • If I do finish early, will be glossing toilet then do bathroom at weekend. Joy - why didn't you make me do it all last weekend :mad:.
    • Mr GG opened a NWide reg saver with much trauma and swearing :rotfl:
    • Officially 'squeaky bum' time with banking but as sure will be fine :whistle:
    • Feeling upset as floods in Spain are in our local area (DS was driving on 2 of the collapsed roads 48 hours beforehand :eek:). Truly awful and I've read insurance doesn't cover it as it's seen as an Act of God :(. It will be the end for a lot of businesses, and individuals.
    Have a good week all :).

    Yeah I've got a Ryder cup nutjob downstairs! I was relegated to the less comfy couch in the back to watch Downtown because of the ruddy golf! Ye gods!

    That list has exhausted me and it isn't even Monday morning yet!

    Hi, well done on the new business, that's great news :)

    Haven't got into the Ryder Cup but I have to admit to watching X Fact this evening :eek:

    Have a good week and hope you get to finish early - nothing like rewarding a busy week with a bit of glossing :T.

    Have a good week, Tilly x x

    I knew it! She's off again! :D

    A great win, I was very pleased for the Europeans after such poor sportsmanship shown by the American fans!

    Fantastic win always loved the Ryder Cup and so nice to see them win on American soil. Poulter was really stunning and lucky that Rory got there in time. I am sure he just got too much into that Danish girlfriend of his.
