I would love to go to Skye, Mull, any of the islands really. I have always wanted to go, especially after watching Balamory with the girls when they were younger ! :rotfl:
Lets think of a plan Pooh to get you to Skye, its much needed after all.
Mr B I am so glad you are feeling more positive, thats a good sign . Where are you hiding now though ? xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Hi Bonnington, just wondered if you'd had to call Sky. I've called them twice and got a reduction, the first time was free line rental for 12 months. I tried the 'really don't want to leave but really can't afford it, is there anything you can do please' approach and it worked for us. Good luck.

Although it was minus 7 this morning.
Work was not too bad today. I have been busy cleaning and tidying the kitchen and dining room and washing.I will lose half the day tomorrow as got to bus into the city to get a new bus pass, as mentioned previously.
British Gas are due between 8 and 1 to service the boiler. Hopefully they will come earlier.
Need to tumble dry the clothes in the morning. More expense.
I am feeling quite positive at the moment. Why did I let myself get like I did last week? :huh:
I know it's a mindset thing. I need to remain positive and focused. I WILL achieve my goal. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I am going to do it. :j :j
Of course you are going to do it Mr B, there was never any question about that one !You will get there by hook or by crook.
We all have down days or weeks, you know I do , but we are only human.
-7 is horrble. When Mr PG started work yesterday morning at 5am it was -10, he was working outside so not a happy chappy !
Hope you have a good day today and manage to fit everything in. xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
