Ooh new thread! Hello all familiar and new people!

I had quoted a load of posts but none of them have shown! Firstly, thank you for all the kind messages. It still doesn't seem real, but I'm sure it will when my family get back from Asia.

CMD I'm so glad you're home! It's lovely to see you posting again too Tete

Dinah I can only echo what everyone else has said re your finances. I know you'll both do it though, cuz you're amazing at debt-busting!

Glad you both had amazing honeymoons Birdie and Lara! I so want to go and experience everything Harry Potter!

I'm sorry, I know I've forgotten tons! But I hope everyone is ok! Anyone watching X Factor? Think the right people went?

[STRIKE]80. Order a new splitter[/STRIKE] [COLOR]="rgb(72, 61, 139)"]NIM can trade in the one that doesn't work for a working one, no cost just a few more days without a phone :money:[/COLOR]
[STRIKE]81. Arrange to trade in phone[/STRIKE] [COLOR="rgb(72, 61, 139)"]£69.25 minus about £2 postage. Will find the cable to connect it to the pc after dinner and take all my photos etc off it tomorrow so can send on Wed[/COLOR]

Is it because I swapped to Chrome that my world is all in code on the forums now rather than actually underscoring/making bold things? Or has the forum view changed?

No Typically it was all my favourites! I would have outed Johnny, Nu Vibe, Misha B and Frankie Bloody Cocozza (I don't get why people find him attractive! He's a tit!) I will say, I had to go on their website to find the names :rotfl: Don't think I'll be watching anymore. I really liked Amelia Lily.

And don't sweat it for a second Dinah. I won't lie, I did used to think you were a little harsh on me but I always knew it was just you looking out for me. The credit card would never have been an issue for me, I'm too much like my Grandfather that way. I never borrowed anything greater than my savings, or if I couldn't pay it back at 10% a week.

Thought I mareswell mention if you go back far enough on my blog (6 or so pages perhaps) there's an actual video of the actual me actually talking. To say we've been talking on here for a good 3 years I thought it'd be nice if you could put a voice to the text!

N.I.M

Apparently one of the lads I work with knows Amelia

I didn't see the Sunday show, which people actually went? I wasn't impressed with the whole Saturday show really, I don't like the new direction (haha just realised that was one of the bands! Unintended pun there...) they started taking last year, it all seems a bit random and there's not enough of a theme/flow each week to make sense to me, it's just a bit 'Sing what you want every week'. That and it's all gone a bit urban for me, I don't like this 'hip' music! Nor do I see the point in some dude slowing down an already slow song for 'greater effect' a la Matt Cardle, didn't like it last year, don't like it this year!

And that's all I've got to say about that...

Zig, I'm so sorry, I did mean to offer my condolences on my first post back but it escaped me! Hope you and your family are all doing as well as can be expected. *Big squishy hug*

Still feeling jet-lagged. Why??? Just want to crawl under a rock...
