Well, that was the weekend..... have been out of the house for 2 hours yesterday and that's it, still fell asleep in the car . Went to a new factory shop for Mr GG's shoes - he was v happy (he is happy to dress like a tramp but likes nice shoes :rotfl:). They have a small selection of ladies - lovely brogues which are not really my thing, but also lovely Chelsea boots, always fancied a pair of those, will return when feeling better/have more money/am v thin so look good in tailored trousers. So, no time soon then .

Decided to work from home tomorrow, a 5.30 alarm call may just finish me off :eek:.

DD came for dinner and bemoaned that there was no food parcel for her to take home - she's expecting better next month :rotfl:. She did go off with her choccy advent calendar and two boxes of tissues though .

Did manage to put new blind up in loo, looks nice . Need something stronger to hold it up in bathroom though .

Making good progress with Xmas pressie list. For what I want, not anyone else :rotfl:. Decided to join the digital age and get an mp3 . Chosen one (not an ipod!) and speakers, Mr GG can get me those and DD and DS can get me portable speakers for Spain. Got very good advice on a thread here, did my own research and everything recommended had great reviews so that's sorted. There are some lovely helpful people on MSE (as well as some scary ones :eek:).

Xmas food discussed - DS wanted duck, I wanted turkey, DD wanted lamb. So we're having....... beef :rotfl:. A la Nigel, my new food god :kisses3:.

Entered lots of competitions. Bit worried as quite a narrow entrance to street, hope all the delivery vans don't cause a traffic jam .

Have a good week all .

I debated Chelsea boots for a while too..... Usually live in uggs during the winter but decided I needed to smarten up a bit every now and then. Managed to get some a few weeks ago and have worn them nearly every day since. Take your time getting the right ones and you won't be without them.

I decided a few years ago to enter some. Started off with Morrisons Mag - won prizes in 2 out of 3 - Reggae Reggae CD and Heinz apron :rotfl:. Funnily enough, I found the more I entered the 'luckier' I became. A bit like on here really - the more you knuckle down and OP your mortgage the 'luckier' you'll be when you've paid it off .

Well, new TD has arrived :T. Am ridiculously excited as it has an internal light :rotfl:. You can vent the water into the washing machine outlet so that's a job for the weekend . 1st load dried and waiting on NP to collect her fluffy towels . It gets very, very, hot :eek:.

Mr GG opened a NW reg saver at beginning of month. Just had letter saying he failed ID checks - can we send a bank statement in his name with address on it. Hell, yes, have a NW one from our current account :doh:. Guessing they have actually done a search and he is not on the electoral register here or pays any bills. So, he's credit worthy enough to have a current account with large OD facility but not a savings account :think:. I know it's probably to do with money laundering, but still seems a bit silly :rotfl:.

Off to London shortly for a meeting. Could do without it as still feel rough, but not far to walk fortunately. It is the 'danger zone' aka Ken High St, but as I'm still feeling rough I should be safe . Do need to pop to Gap to get birthday pressie.

But first - MOT......... :eek:.

Seems ridiculous that you need to send a bank statement for the same bank requesting it - things like that really annoy me.

Enjoy London and good luck avoiding the shops..

Hiya GG, how's your head today, after the party you've all been having, I would imagine a little sore :rotfl:

Hope you enjoyed Ken high street, I used to work just off there and had a fab time, from what I can remember :T

Good to see the TD has arrived, Tilly x
