Was at a girls night out last night.
Great laugh was had by all~much needed.
Think our junior barman was having fun mixing our drinks so still feeling a tad delicate now!!!
Ate for Scotland too but hey ho life gets in the way sometimes!!!

Irritatingly although I haven't been to any shops this weekend BOTH days have been spend days as my OH bought a few items of groceries each day.

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!

That is all.

Mine has gone to France today for work and will be back on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm not joking when I say I probably won't spend ANYTHING while he is away! He's just annoying! Cute and nice to have around but really, REALLY annoying!

NSD number 9 :j

Went down to the grave as planned, and not impressed all out little keepsakes on there have been stolen :mad: how low can people go

Hoping tomorrow will be NSD number 10 for us I plan on goign no where and staying in feeling sorry for myself

That's awful. Are you sure that they were stolen though? Some councils, like ours used to, don't allow personal keepsakes left on graves. Why shouldn't you feel sorry for yourself? It's a big shock. Huge hugs to you and your family.

beanielou – sounds like a fab night beanie, so glad you enjoyed it, you definitely deserved it!!

No more for me, had to buy a train ticket & some milk for a cuppa while we were refilling the central heating before the tenant arrived yesterday, & today has been grocery day, got some seriously bargain whoopsied pork, so now have enough creamy pork stew to last till next xmas :rotfl:

butdoineedit?

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone for all the celebrations over my new tenant, here's a virtual beer for you all :beer:

It'll be a long time before i get back to where i was money wise before all this happened, so loads of NSD's are still on the cards, but it's a relief to know that at least i won't have to use credit any more

So much so i even tried to make home made brandy snaps today & they worked (rolled up & everything!), no prizes for guessing what everyone is getting for xmas now then :rotfl:

Very happy to announce NSD No 7 today.

I so wanted to post pics of the pups on here but I'm still not allowed so I've put one as my avatar pic if anyone's interested in seeing them.
