    ;)Why would you send your boots camping???
    I'm sure NewGirly is thinking of selling a tent, maybe my boots should invest in that perhaps?

    Are you sure that was an "accident"? :rotfl:
    :o I truly did think it was 10.30 :o
    The people we saw though looked completed k nackered and they had only been going 30 mins, so I know how much fun it's going to be :rotfl:

    Remind me why I'm doing this :p

    Always knew you were completely loopy:rotfl: just so glad you had the good sense to drive off again:T;)

    I wondered if I could have some advice Miss T...we often have childcarers living with us. With our hours and trips alway it's the only way but as DC get older and as I am part time maybe it's less needed. But we really don't mind sharing and so I am thinking about lodgers...do you have any suggestions re do's and don'ts? Also do you cook for them( think you do) and would you do a deal whereby you lessened the rent if they did a bit of babysitting etc....just really thinking about the options.

    Cheers and hope you're having a great weekend

    These boot camps seem to be really popular, don't think I'm fit enough for one just yet ... Think ill stick with waiting till my shin splints heal so that I can start running again, obviously the waiting for the shin splints to heal is very hard work, that chocolate doesn't lift itself into my mouth you know ;)

    Allegedly, yes :cool:. Good freezer fodder, keeps the shopping bills down. I've eaten at Tilly's - she feeds them up well first :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Excellent GG...now that's an angle I hadn't thought of...and then you get free food ( albeit it prison food!!) when you get caught..like yer thinking:rotfl:

    Think I will offer evening meals etc..OH or I have prepare food for the rest of us..and it's always one meal which is planned, everyone eats the same..so no hassle to feed one more.

    I don't mind running in the rain but doing press ups on the ground in it is a little too hard core for me :o Good luck to you!
