    Morning all

    Great decision re post 2 toots and looks like it has popular support too :) It will make life a lot easier for you. This way everyone can be invloved in the welcomes by pointing newbies to posts 1 & 2. Like kazw says it was nice to see your nae on the list but TBH how often did people check the list once they had seen their name for the first time? I know I didn't look very often. Now newbies can see exactly what this mad house is all about because as we all know once you are here you can't leave :rotfl:

    Hope you managed to get some sleep and are feeling better this morning.

    Looks like a nice day out there, dare I say spring has arrived????

    Sexy hope you have a great time and a lovely day on Friday, congratuations to you both.

    OK better get my hair dried.

    Morning all, silly direct debit took out today instead of tomorrow so it's left me broke. :mad: Why do they never take out when there suppose to.

    Still feeling crappy here but not just as bad, hopefully it will be gone by the end of the week, poor ds2 has been complaining of a sore head this morning.

    cyclingyorkie congrats to your mate.
    Pigpen awful news.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Okay this week's "resolution" is to do some home study course between 10 and 11 EACH DAY! so if you catch me on bookface or on here in that hour - throw a fluffy mule at me please ;)(Its in green as it's a farm management course - for my "one day" dream)

    Also gonna try to keep up with the exercise plan. :rotfl:no no really I am, honest :rotfl:

    morning all - I'm on PPA so just settling down to some work.

    re the list...could post 2 have the ref to MoneySavingDiva please... other than that - I won't miss it.

    1 bag of clothes ready to drop into the recycling on my way to work later, and I MUST remember to pick up some milk. Windows all open, house airing.

    Good luck with the move Toots

    See you later!
