  • DD's friend was collected after the judicial application of bacon rolls this morning. Everyone happy.

    Came back upstairs to attack my room, as it acquired a few bits of clutter and clean washing in Minion's maiden flight, and the bed needs changing -

    and I woke up about half an hour ago.

    Oooppsss. That wasn't in the plan.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I'm here Holly, well I'm lurking :o

    I'm slowly working through my lists but really don't feel like it. I think I'm having problems with my boyfriend again :( I say think because he's basically ignoring me, this is the first weekend I haven't seen him since we've started seeing each other (only about 2 months). I couldn't afford to go down to him, he lives 150 miles away and he couldn't afford to come to me but he has basically made no effort to contact me all week.
    It makes me feel I don't know where I stand with him, when I say anything he just tells me to stop fretting. He doesn't seem to see that if he didn't do it or at least reassured me I wouldn't be "fretting"!

    Sorry to have had a moan and I know we're not meant to diss our other halves on here but I had to get it off my chest and I won't do it again.

    This is my list, if it's deleted I've done it, if it's been added I've done that too! -

    Well that was a rather wet day stewarding. Though I did enjoy myself very much. Had my water proof gear on but still got quite wet. Might be my last year stewarding as its a heavy day.

    Washed my walking trousers when I got back and got dried out a bit.

    Off to catch up with the thread.

    can you not list with 99p starting prices?

    Yes I could, but I bet with the way my luck is, that is all I would get, which is not enough for some of the items!

    Had a good day, but it has chucked it down here.
