  • Been a very good ostrich today. My auntie popped round earlier with a tenner she owed me for some bits I'd bought for her last week. I could have left it in my purse and frittered it away on coffees and crap from the shop, but NO. I potted it. :j

    Evening all

    I haven't posted in a little while and the potting has been slow. Managed to stay within my weekly budget by a whisker after food shopping yesterday - providing I don't spend anything else before Friday. I have a grand total of 23p to last until Friday so I may as well pot it now!

    Getting pretty nervous now about my op on Monday, I keep thinking 'Maybe I will get better if I wait a bit longer...'! I keep being told not to worry and I wish I could stop myself being scared but don't know how :(

    * Come on to here, type what you want to type, then click the dodgy picture of a planet, with a chain under it (it's just above your text box) and paste your photobuckets html into it you copied earlier. Then post... Bob's your Uncle and Mary's your Aunt :D....

    Eh, Voila....

    Thanks Nu1isit, I'll try that.

    Thank you everyone for your well wishes for DS, not sure whats going on with him as he was a lovely normal rosey cheeked boy this evening :eek: he was complaining about pain in the back of his legs so im wondering if hes inherited my muscle cramps :( I used to get them all the time when I was a kid and they were blinking painful but that still doesnt explain the complete lack of colour in his face :huh:

    Try not to worry Ljaneyr, just try and push it to one side for the minute and have a dodgy hug :grouphug: and a nice cuppa tea (can tell im from the fens cant you, a cup of tea cures everything round here :rotfl:)

  • I also feel a little lost, I did not post for a few days and I had a few spend days. I emptied my change purse today and was able to add $3.12 to my pot.
