    Thanks :)

    MG, he's an endocrynologist (I don't know how to spell it either :rotfl:) - never taken me for beer and a pizza though! Nice enough bloke - although at one point I nearly wallopped him - he asked what work I did, I told him and said I only worked 2 days a week, and he said 'god, that must be a pretty basic existence' (!) :eek: I'll have you know I can live perfectly happily on the income from 2 days a week of what I consider to be a very well paid job, even if my weekly salary wouldn't pay your dry cleaning bill! Grrr.

    (the Liz Hurley comment came after that though, so I forgave him slightly :rotfl: :rotfl:)

    Liz Hurley! But of course; this is why you looked familiar.

    Sounds like a productive day by all folks :j. Big frog eaten here today - my first coat of paint is on the living room walls :j.

    Dorastar - look after yourself. Hope coming off your meds doesn't put you back too much.

    ((((Hugs)))) to Cheery - look after yourself my lovey.

    Need to sort tea - homemade macaroni cheese for the troops. For me, pasta in a tomato sauce with a smidgen of grated cheese. The problem with all this decorating is that I'm ravenous by the time I've finished which doesn't help with trying to watch what I eat. At least the house is looking so much better tho' :T.

    Later peeps, Thriftyxxx

    I have just had a phone call from marie curie magazine, the lady came accross my website on google and thought my jewellery was lovely, that the readers would love it too, only thing is they want £250 for the year
    Hmm - a tough one but FW has taught me that sometimes you need t invest to accumulate. Why not ask her if you can have a one month trial and if you get any take up from a free trial you might consider it. It is a a lot of money and she is just selling space though. However what good news that you are being found via google
    Thanks for the tip. I thought that having to attend 6 other concerts before you could get Last Night Tickets was a real problem for those outside of London, but you have proved it can be done.
    I am a real life example. Plus, if you make enough friends in the queue by going a few times who knows ;) Also if you go for one weekend you could attend up to 4 concerts if you pick the right weekend.

    Sorry I also meant to add that I hope that you get sorted soon in whatever way works out for the best. I wish I had the excuse of low brain hormones - I am just plain grumpy at the moment for no particular reason.

    Record breaking dinner - on the table in 20 minutes.:D

    Chick pea and potato curry, rice, raitha and chapatiis - and silence reigns:rotfl::rotfl: Thank goodness for the freezer;)

    Just got to check I've got everthing packed for the morning and then iron something semi respectable and "we are good to go".

    DS1 has worked out at our current rate of spending on food and storecupboard we could eat until some time in December 2012 :rotfl: I'm thinking he is taking this game far too seriously!!!

    Tea sounds lovely MG. I had:- vegetable jalfrezi (made in slow cooker because I have been out at meetings all afternoon), basmati rice, home made vegetarian samosas and lime and mango pickle. Yum scrum.

    Now sprucing myself up. Off out tonight to hear a talk by Chris Smith and his cycle UK to China I think it should be very interesting. All about how he pared down his life and spent 18 months alone cycling. I have a new notebook and a couple of sparkly gel pens to take notes :D Mr C tells me that we are going to have a leisurely evening not to a lecture to learn things.... thats what he thinks. :rotfl::rotfl:

    I haven't told him yet that I have been to the cheap supermarket to get some bottles of beer to take in rather than paying the extortionate prices in the bar there. He will :eek: when I get them out of my bag. Oh and he has just announced that his new boss is meeting us there.............:o Hmm should I air on the cautious side and leave the beer at home then?

    All packed - clothes ironed, low-heeled shoes found and cleaned, maps printed. Kids clothes are sorted and on hangers so that we can make a quick getaway. Now phone is charged and early alarm is set.

    What a faff this going out to work is:D Don't know how you ladies do it every day :rotfl::rotfl:

    Be productive, lucky and happy tomorrow - see you when I get home tomorrow night.
