I am sure you will love the movie. I managed to get hold of some preview tickets for the same film a few weeks ago and took my mum ot watch it ! Absolutely loved it, and as I have always had wanderlust and India is somewhere I have never visited, I decided to put that on my list of must visit one day !
Glad you had a lovely evening, as I said my virtual wine turned to Horlicks, however tonight may be a bit different:rotfl:
Oh Mrs P you are so so right, it was a fantastic film and I am so glad I went to see it. Not very MSE but cant wait for the DVD. It made me think about quite a lot of things and how we live our lives, anyway dont want to get philosophical
Well done on the letter to Nat West still need to prepare one to Lloyds:eek:
Hopefully catch up later, if not have a great evening and lovely time at your mums tomorrow.

We have been through alot of rubbish over the last few years with much more to come I'm sure, but I am as certain as I can be that we will get through it and come out of the other side together, just much more haggard and wrinklier !
That's so lovely and I am envious. I am in a not-so-great relationship myself and feel I am doing everything pretty much on my own.
You will get through everything, Mrs Pinot, with the lovely Mr Pinot by your side and one day you'll look back on all this together and smile at the memories (well maybe not smile at ALL the memories .....:D).0 -

These are stressful times for us DFWs, and when I read your lists I wonder if you're trying to do too much and wearing yourself out. Make sure you get enough 'me time' xLBM Dec 2011. Aimed, but failed, to clear all unsecured debt by Feb 2019. Finally free of unsecured debt 21st May 21!

I do hope you enjoy your Horlicks, maybe laced with a small tiple later !!;)

Thankyou Peace, I have caught up with a few of your posts elsewhere I think, but you dont have a diary do you, or have just not been looking properly ?
I'm so sorry you do not have the support you obviously need, feel free to post here as often as you like and we can all help you along. As you can see there are a lovely bunch or ladies and gentlemen here who have been great to me these last few days. !!
Your right though, we will smile at most of the memories, if not ALL, but they will be big gummy ,gap toothed wrinkly old smiles !!! Did you ever see that kids film UP ? Sort of reminds me of that !!!
Keeping posting though Peace, its been lovely to see you and I enjoy the company xxxxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

:rotfl:Its all happening over here in Pinots World !!! But yes , I am back up again, well for now at least but I am determined to stay that way !!
The trouble is with my lists are that it all needs doing, and if I dont do it, then it gets dragged over to the next day and ends up a viscous circle. You are right we are ALL under alot of pressure, but we will all get there somehow, someday !! Hope you are good Happy xxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

:j Yey !! Well I got it all done, finally walked through the door at 7.30, unloaded car ( made a small mercy dash to Aldi ) and dinner is bubbling nicely on the hob ! I got everything done except for delivering the new pressie, but her actual birthday is tomorrow, so that was fine ! I managed to get the bargain candle, and her picture is looking rather lovely on my kitchen wall !!!;):o Mr Pinot will wonder where on earth it came from when he comes home !! The picture though, has caused great hilarity with DD2 who after studying it, (its is bascially loads of colourful words with names of traditional puddings in different lettering, Apple Crumble , Treacle Tart, Jam Roly Poly), and there in all its glory was Spotted !!!!!! !!! The poor child nearly fell off her chair laughing. Going back six monthsthe D word probably would have meant nothing, but having recently had the pleasure of studying "Journey in Love" at school, where the class were asked to tell each other the different names they all knew for mens and ladies bits and pieces, she suddenly has a new found knowledge !!:rotfl:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
