Hi everyone
Hey OrangeFairy - was wondering how you were getting on. Nice to hear from you. You'll definitely be able to power on through all the studying. You'll be in Cyprus before you know it :T
Hi Lost and nervous :wave: Welcome aboard. I love it here and hope you do too.
I've had a miserable day - hairdresser totally messed my hair up :mad: even though I showed her a photo of exactly what I wanted. Think she was a bit scared of cutting my layers so short at the back so she ended up keeping them quite long where they should've been short and cutting them short where they should've been long. Now it looks like how I had it about 4 years ago and what I've been growing out for the past two. Plus, now I can't even go to another hairdresser to get it sorted because she's chopped off all my locks!
Think I'll go back to bed.0 -
Aw La E that's horrible! I hope you complained??
Hi all, sorry I'm a bit late, have been soooo busy today. Not very DFW as I spent a ton of money on food for the week for my family who arrive tomorrow morning! Very excited about this! This also means I won't be around for the week prob as we'll be doing things!
So here is me:-
- Did all my HC and hung on airer/line (once I had located peg bag in DD's bedroom?!?!?)
- Baked a huge choc cake and twinks
- Had friend of friend over to check out suspected wasps nest, not a nest, just me being paranoid! Paid him with said choc cake...
- Done some surveys
- Checked banking, looking scary now I did massive food shop!
- Done all my washing up and cleaned kitchen...then created more!
- Mended air bed pump that house rabbit had chewed...only to find he had also chewed air bed (found out AFTER i'd pumped it up!!!)
- Borrowed air bed from DM
- DB3's friend picked up air bed and nephew for me, saves my fuel!
- Have cleaned and tidied and hoovered through the whole house, only DB3's room to get ready for guests use tomorrow night and bathroom to clean.
There we go then chaps, have a lovely week, I will try and pop on every now and then if I get chance!

Hello All,
It's a gorgeous day here so we are going down to the water to go on a long walk along the esplanade with our wee boy riding his bike the whole way. Loads of free fresh air!
Also, to add to my list from yesterday, I am popping down to the post office to send off 2 skirts I sold on eBay last night, woo hoo!
Have a great day everyone

Hi all!

stitchy great news on the business coming along
Sounds like you have fun days plannined, ihavenomoney and jules
Thanks for asking after me, DNMS. (Ex?) OH flew last night, Ive essentially been crying since Friday. I came home alone last night and slept on the sofa so I wouldnt have to be in our bed without him. I know I will be fine in the long run but am obviously a very sad bunny just now. I am glad that we left it on such good terms, I would have been so sad if we had ended it hating each other. He has a scrapbook hes kept of the last few years, so Im going to add a few pages today to leave him with.
Trying to keep my chin up today.- seeing a friend for sunday lunch at a pub, walking there and back
- sort through papers I need to keep hold of and bin the rest
- keep packing
- do and hang washing
- do washing up
- make list of things I need to bring into the office tomorrow (my last day)
- pop up to priceless shoes as I need some new ones for work
- try to hold it together!
Hope you all have a nicer weekend than mine!Mortgage free by 30:eek:: £28,000/£100,000Debt free as of 1 October, 2010

Had an expensive two weeks.....though was worth it as I was in Vegas and California for my wedding! Come back and really need to watch the pennies now!
- Coffee this morning from some of those 'coffee pods' that I liberated from a Red Roof Inn in Watsonville CA
- Off to Tesco to use '£6 off £30' Sainsbury's voucher
- On eBay looking for a replacement indicator stalk for my truck (its a definite MOT failure if I don't fix it!)
- Staying in and catching up on TV tonight
- eBaying some unwanted CDs as well as my Sat Nav (not as good as I would have liked!)
- Booking a room for Renault World Series 2011 (they'll get more expensive when the tickets are released!)
