    Morning all. I am just getting ready to go shopping in an hour or so. Then i shall meet Crafti and hypnotise, bribe, hug her to death till she agrees to come to London next week. I hope it works.

    We had rain all night and thunder and lightening. I slept for a while and then the noise woke me up. It is distinctly chilly today but all the birdies are happy aerating the lawn looking for worms so they are happy.

    Everyone have a good day, am back tonight.

    AWWW SW, if crafti is really uncomfortable about next weekend, leave it for now. She is going to meet everyone else on sunday, and that will be fabaroonie.

    London is here for a long time still and there will always be other times to come and visit.

    Maybe next time you come, you will be able to make a weekend of it with the £12 travellodge deals and you can sightsee? And hopefully by then crafti will be so much better, she will come and sightsee and enjoy it :)

    thanks for the support i hate letting people down
    i really want to come but the fear of having a panic attack is stronger and i cant get my head round how to sort everything out as i use the weekends to do shopping washing etc as i dont have time in the week to do it as i am so tired
    if this was during holiday time i could put stuff off
    just too much all at the same time
    i also rely on public transport so i cant just drop stuff and hop into a car and drive to where i need to go so i need to organise myself carefully- a control thing i suppose
    also leaving london at 9pm means i dont get back til nearly 11 so a long day too as i will also have to get a taxi back from the station in town as the other station is not safe in the dark

    stop beating yourself up about it hun, it doesn't matter. School holidays will be coming up soon. We will keep an eye out for bargain tickets, etc, and if not this summer, maybe Winter holidays? or even next year.

    Or if I can afford it, I will come up with DS to meet you both?

    will PM you later, am running late now, my own fault, but I know ALL about the control thing. Will explain by PM.

    Aesop is right, and she does know about these things Crafti, don't be forced into anything that will panic you, take you're own time petal. I know we would love you to come to London with us and I'm sure you would love to be there, but it has to be comfortable for you - and we will see you on the Sunday. As Aesop says, plenty more times and London will be there for a long time to come, so no rush

    I had to drive over to north Newcastle to put some cash into the bank for Mr 3Dogs as I left it too late to transfer it online (and I don't have my card reader with me which I needed to set up a transfer online) - this was the nearest bank open on a Saturday morning :mad: Never mind, while I was over there I called at the big Tatco Extra nearby and had a wander around there, and managed to get the shoulder shopper-type bag I'd wanted but which had sold out at our local store - one more DTD voucher bites the dust but at least I treated myself with it this time :D

    By the way, if anyone wants any nice heavy colourful tumbler glasses, have a look at this http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=43243184&postcount=1526 I managed to get 4 today and they are really nice, not bad for £1 for the 4 after DTD ;) You just need to buy 4 and pay through the till, then take receipt to C/Services desk and tell them you've been mischarged - they give you the £2 you've been overcharged plus £2 DTD, hence you end up only paying £1

    Hello just arrived home. Crafti and i had a good chat and chilled i think!!! If she feels up to it fingers crossed she might be staying over on Friday night with us and then staying with us all weekend so she does not have to worry. However, work is very stressful for her and it may change. She is wonderful and i hope everything works out well. Steve - no she is not sleeping with you, we are making arrangements - no Steve, nothing pervy ok!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek:
