    Findingmyway: Hope you're finding something nice to do for the weekend. We have probably all been through heartbreaks, so we do really know how you are feeling.
    Lou: It's not nice to be sad and miserable but NEVER feel you have to apologise to us. We are right there alongside you.
    Beth: Thank you for the message about Uolypool. If you can will you let her know that all our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. Thanks.

    On a purely selfish and cheerful note - we have just had our Gas and Electic review.
    GASP. PHEW. GORY BE. Not only are they reducing our monthly DD but they are refunding, yes, refunding just under £400 in the next couple of weeks. OS wins again!:j:beer::money::D:rotfl::T:):j

    I let UOLYPOOL know that I had passed on her message to all on OS. and yes MONNOGRAM, I will pass on everyones prayers and good wishes. Just hoping with all my might that the next time I hear from her it will be good news.
    I can only imagine the hell she and her family are going through and wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, having said that I hope I don't have any.

    Well done you for changing your suppliers, woopie I suppose that's Crimble sorted and hopefully have change. :T

    Evening all! Thought I'd pop on and catch up with you all whilst DH is watching the footy, yawn!

    Hugs to everyone, try and keep smiling no matter how difficult life is, easier said than done I know.

    Last night we went to FIL's 65th do. It was only a small family get together but didn't get home til way past my bedtime - 1am! Came home with 11 baked potatoes that SIL was going to throw out as they were left over :eek: Had one fried up with some bacon, leeks and beans for breakfast, 2 are in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch and the other 8 are in the freezer, won't be neding to buy spuds for a while :rotfl:

    Been to visit my parents this afternoon and tonight, once the footy's finished, we're going to curl up on the sofa and watch a few DVDs.
    Take care all xxx

    Uolypool, thinking of you and yours. Poor girl is in my thoughts. X

  • Evening all,

    Just back from the most delish indian meal we've had in a long time. DD1 and her BF came with me and DH and we had a really nice time, especially as the town where the restaurant was had their bonfire night tonight so we had a brilliant view of the firework display too. :)

    DD1 and I spent almost all day making the birthday cake for the 21st party tomorrow as well as 40 cupcakes, now all we've got to do is drive them there is one piece :p

    Must get back to some serious OS next week as it's been on the slide a bit, apart from essential washing and swishing and swiping, need to get organised for Christmas as on the 1st December I am off to New York with three friends :j the word excited doesn't quite capture it :rotfl::rotfl:we went three years ago and promised we'd save and save until we could go again - OS has helped enourmously.

    FMway - Break ups are lousy, hugs to you. x

    Uolypool - My prayers are with you. x

    Goodnight and snuggles to you all.

    Jan xx
