    Hi red - just popped by and giggled to myself re your hubby and the £5k - good job one of you has sense! Me - I'd have probably taken the £5k and gone on holiday... :-)

    Nothing much new, Pickle.

    Mega busy at work, never remember a time like it, recession sure brings a lot of people to the brink!

    Essay ok...........but will be lucky to get another one done on time but will keep trying.

    GOOD NEWS - my brother is getting married! Sept 9th 2011 so thats weekend break done away with but sure I am happy to be spending the money on such a great day. Plus it is my excuse to buy LK Bennett's LMAO.

    Looking for a 'Mad Men' style outfit so do forward any 'delights' you find.

    DH sold little van for £200, great as it is extra pennies and takes the eye sore out of driveway. Still no word of replacement van yet.

    Danger week over - we survived!!!

    Hope everyone is happy in their nappy :)
