    and on that note i think i should change my location.....so i am a little less associated with the TOWIE gang :p :P

    :rotfl::rotfl:I couldn't watch it, I found it insulting! Anyway, you're nothing like that! You appear to be a class act. It's not easy to come in sprout rubbish and glide out with such style!

    Further to my candle post over on your diary DFW and following on from this evenings Towie topic............ I have it Sussed! it's Towie Marks mum or it could have been his Aunt who Are looking after my £96,000 of debt for me ! Pre LBM I used to buy all of my candles from her in a lovely smelly candle shop they own, before they were all sort of famous ! That's why they can afford to drive a posh car and I can't ........I spent it all on their bloody smelly candles !!

    Goodnight x

    Cold and raining heavily. I have put the heating on :o

    I'd love a dog, the Bear wouldn't, but we'll ignore his opinion on this occasion. As I'm supposed to work I've always put off getting one as it wouldn't be fair to leave a dog all day. The Bear sleeps all day so doesn't miss me in the slightest and being a cat wouldn't admit it even if he did!

    *runs around kissing all the lovely ladies on the head* I've been suffering with a really painful neck all week, to the point where I have to move my body because my neck is too painful to move even an inch in any direction (makes it very tricky to drive). Anyway last night I thought "what the heck!" and slept on my memory foam pillow with the middle cut away as normal, but with a pillow under my top knee (side sleeper) to keep my spine straight. Oh my it feels sooooo much better today, thank you ladies for the idea :) xx

    Its my Birthday !!! Not today, but at the weekend. Dont think there are any plans as such, but Mr Pinot will be coming home at some point on the day. Ive really missed him this week, so that will be pressie enough for me !

    I have a friend over this evening for a catch up which I'm looking forward to, and I imagine family will be popping in over the weekend , but other than that no great plans.

    How about you NL, or anybody else ? Anything much planned ?
