    I'm not scottish if that helps... and I was unfortunately filmed wiping away a tear! I'm not the emotional kind usually. :)

    yes, think I know which one you are.

    I think everyone who has watched it, had to shed a tear, have tears in their eyes, not admitting it. It was one of the most moving episodes.

    Me - bed n book (how very rock n roll for a Friday night)

    There is no stopping the woman - you had an exciting evening the night before:rotfl:.

    Glad you are all back safely and we were very, very happy to have you around for a bit. DS3 proclaimed that your DS1 is a good friend and that he would like to spend more time infront of the TV with him:rotfl:. What do you think?

    I have some news, guys.

    Yesterday, MG and Mr F were going on at me that I am tired not because I am ill but because I am going far too much without taking any rest. I agree and I thought that the only thing I can give up is my blog. So I asked them whether I should: 'Nooo!' - they both shouted.

    Let me expalin. Blogging is lonely, hard work (yes, I enjoy it but this doesn't mean it is not hard work) without much external reinforcement. This means that you don't get much back most of the time - and of course it is easy to loose the awareness of whether you are doing well or not. I have had a bit of recognition lately - I am invited to speak at a UK conference of PF writes, my blog got the 'mighty blog' title from TotallyMoney and my readership is growing.

    I still feel tempted to jack it, as I told MG and MrF. The next day I got a message that The Money nPrinciple has been voted one of the ten best money saving sites in the UK. Fancy that! I am surprised and very pleased.

    More importantly, it seems to me that the Universe is talking to me again - and that The Money Principle is on the cusp of something.

    What do you think? Coincidence?

    Waaah have crocked my back again, so now I have the beautiful shiny brown hair of a young lady with the waddly gait of a very old lady - even dd has had trouble not laughing at me this morning!

    Sun is shining and got a friend coming round with her dd and bringing cakes later so not up to much today. Have got to finish off some school stuff tonight as am trying to not do any on a Sunday anymore (new decision so will see how it pans out)

    I watched one of the repeats.... wonder if I know which one you were..... :)

    I know I know:j:j

    But then she did pop in for a cuppa last weekend :D

    Yesterday I wrote about "I Think I Like You" - which means you ladies too. The more of you I meet, the more I realise what and absolutely stunning group of ladies you all are................ thank you for even talking to me :D

    Enough of the moosh :rotfl: Washing all out on line, shopping list written according to menu plan, Mum is on her way back with the cat and to see her boys ................... and nothing too scary was in the post when I opened it (well you never know do you - after all I have been away the best part of two weeks)

    So last thing on my "To-do" list is to send off some books that were ordered (but Paypal never sent me the message so need to find out what is going wrong there).

    Two of them are winging out to Australia - wonder if I could spin it so that I am and "Internationally selling Author" :rotfl::rotfl:

    Can't believe the boys go back to school on Monday - where did the holiday go to?

    MG, do you still want photo from kitkat magazine? I can upload here, or post on your FB page, but would need you to pm me your fb page.

    have you thought about putting any of these on your blog, under appearances?

    and yes ! international author, if you have customers in Australia :T:j

    Well done Groatie on the forthcoming house move (wish I could say the same..looks wistfully out of the window).

    Dora - happy new hair.

    MG - glad you had a fabby time and are now back home safely with the boys.

    I see the Big Build repeated quite often and always shed a tear when I watch it, alas I was unable to go otherwise I would have been there helping out. Feeling guilty that I don't venture onto Mike's thread as much as I should these days.

    I have spent the morning deleting stuff on my laptop because it is starting to get slow and an error message popped up yesterday saying that it was short of disk space (I cannot afford to get it fixed nor buy a new one). I am thanking the universe each day for giving me a day that I have managed to get through, I am now thanking it for the job applications because one must land me an interview and a job soon.
