  • Hoped for a nsd today, but didn't manage. Had the kids at a Christmas party and paid £3.20 for drinks plus £5 for a photo of them with some footballers (which they have paid me back for).
    And no chance of one tomorrow either - have parcels and cards desperately needing posted.

  • I am so sorry i have abandoned you all over the last few days, i have missed you & there have been some fab totals being collected!!!

    Have had a trapped nerve in my neck after a slight "incident" at work :eek: I've never known anything hurt like it & have been hiding in bed with a hot water bottle tied to my neck with a scarf (:rotfl:) whenever i've not been at work!!

    It seems to have righted itself now though, i think i have to thank my neighbour for that, she had one of her famous hissy screaming fits, which woke me up through the wall & as i jumped out of bed in fright it didn't seem to hurt any more!!

    Anyway, mammoth update to follow.......
