    Mrs Happy, Have a really wonderful Easter with the children.:D

    We have said before I know, but just think how proud of you Mr Happy will feel when one day ,he finally gets to read this diary ! I only virtually know you, , yet I am very proud !! :rotfl:

    I will be doing my review, but after the Easter Hols I think, when the girls are back at school and I can concentrate a little easier. DD2 oftens wanders in the room as I am typing and tries to take a sneaky look over my shoulder !

    You have a wonderful Easter and we will see you soon xxx

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped! Name Dropper
    I have got up especially early (5:30!!) just to sneak on here while the house is quiet and no-one is peaking over my shoulder! When I am rich again (:D:D) I am going to buy my very own laptop and password it so I don't have to skulk about like this.

    Thanks so much for all the comments. I have read and digested and smiled at every single one of them :). I might not be posting much over the next week or so, but I am definitely lurking in the background and will keep popping up just when you're not expecting me! I have to - you lot are my safety net and I rely on you to growl at me if I start getting money-sloppy.

    Back soon xx

    I can do growl! Please can I be in charge of growling?

    I like the challenge Mrs B. We're all in with a chance, Mrs H is off the starting post with setting the alarm to secretly post on the forum!

    Am smiling at the thoughts of DMP ers all over the country stealing time on the pc in the middle of the night to indulge in the new addiction. We are stronger together :)

    Oh Piq, I think we can allow you to do the Growling, I think you would be good at it ! Mrs B, best you be the Boss . I will supply refreshments during the course of the month when the going gets tough !

    My maddest thing so far this month ( and it is only the 3rd ) was that I didnt actually go to bed until 3am this morning, for fear of missing out on everybodies news , or upsetting anybody if I forgot to post , so there I was merrily tapping away at the computer until the early hours ! I am suffering for it today though ! :o

    :rotfl: now that's what I call dedication!!! I sat playing catch up last night too. However, when I realised I was typing with 1 eye open I knew it was time to give up!!!
    One step at a time ;)

    Growling is me...

    I'm a complete addict. I fret if there's nothing useful to add to a diary I'm subscribed to. I also worry in case what I'm trying to say doesn't come out right and is going to cause offense. However, I haven't stayed up until 3am yet...

    Piq,

    You could never add anything other than useful thoughts and rambles to our diaries !! And if they cause offence to some people , then so be it as none of it would be intentional I'm sure. You can rest assured with me though , I have very broad shoulders, and things seem to whizz over my head, generally missing the point completely !

    And as for staying up until 3am......you havent yet, but you will !!!:rotfl:

    Same goes for me Piq. I think most of us worry about offending people from time to time.

    I've never stayed up until 3.00 a.m. just to read the diaries but you may have noticed when I have a sleepless night, like the other night, I could be found on here at 4.00 a.m. :eek: Good job it was the night the clocks went back in NZ and I could have an extra hour's sleep. :D
