Depends where you want to sell one - $10,000 in Israel, or swap one for an iPad in China :rotfl:

Well... I've never been to Israel...

Well you could use your nice shiny new iPad to work out all your new budgets I suppose!

You'll get paid before me though! Don't worry, my sister still has my savings so until I get it back then I can't pay off my loan early and lower my debt from a reduction in interest! So a "virtual" victory only for me... My grandma has offered to lend me the money though until I get it back so I can get rid of the loan... I'd feel tight borrowing so much off a pensioner though. Bless her, it's a lovely offer :A

You are doing amazingly well InsertWittyName, I've been reading your diary and I'm really proud of what you're doing. Keep up the fabulous work xxx

My new left contact lense is really starting to irritate me now and it looks like I keep winking at people... getting some very odd glances...! Poor guy that sits across from is probably getting freaked out thinking I'm trying to give him the eye!!! It's like donkey from Shrek where he says "See my eye twitching!" :rotfl:

:rotfl: I was the same for a while. I have astigmatism just in my left eye and I had some special lenses on trial but they were much thicker than the ones for my right eye. It did become ridiculously painful though so aside from the indiscriminate winking at strangers I gave up on them and went back to the normal ones.

Grr! Kids!!! sent both mine to bed last night because they were right royally p**ing me off, then tonight im sitting on the loo (sorry is that tmi? . . but then again after kerri's knickers im not sure I could lower the tone much further :rotfl:) and you know what its like, there aint alot to do while your there for a quick stop, cant get into a book can you? anyway im looking at the shower and thinking 'why is the tray green?' so im musing and thinking, you know, its clean, so I know its not mould . . and well its too bright for that . . . then I think 'hmm is that bottle thats on its side open?' . . . and I finally ascertain yes it is (my quick stop is lengthening due to the train of thought . . id actually forgotten what I was sat on by this point) then it occurs to me that one of the brand new bottles of shampoo is missing from the shelf . . well this is also curious as I know that theres half a bottle of shampoo in there that I cant use and i'd literally finished my shampoo the previous shower . . .
well finally it clicks that the brand new shampoo has been removed from the shelf, left open, knocked over as certain children exited the shower last night :eek: and has been happily oozing out for the last 24 hours until the amount has fallen below the line of the hole in the lid and is now half full :mad:
Of course my little darlings have feigned complete innocence and as DH and I havent had a shower since before they did, they are both heartily convinced we have a ghost who lives in the bathroom that likes to sporadically remove bottles of shampoo from the shelves, open them and leave them on their sides in the tray. Now I will say I would give them the benefit of the doubt, but you see, well they have a habit of pouring bottles down the drain, using it in their hands to make bubbles, making soup with it :eek: . . . you get the picture.
Well anyway they are both now in bed with a promise that they will both be handing over half the cost of a new bottle each out of their pocket money as neither would own up to it and I now stink of shower gel and my jeans are soaking as ive had to sit in the door of the shower with the water running trying to get the big puddle of goop to go down the drain

Was just telling my hubby about your weirdo Kerri and he wants to know what you were selling in the first place to get such a response :rotfl:

Honestly I go out for a few hours and we are back on the pants again! Update on the dryer! Husband has found the fault, its a bearing gone, he reckons he can fix it. Rather then pay the £115 for the full motor. So thats two weeks of living in a chinese laundrette while he attempts and then fails!

Better start looking for dryers!

However Jemma my electric will go down but mother in law will blast the heating on during the day!

I appreciate the comments, thanks Jemma!

I think it's going to be a fairly 'light' month for me this time though with regard to the debts however - most of my freelance jobs are fairly large and may span into the following month.

I think you and Pedro should go out to the most expensive restaurant you can find... and you being a modern girl should of course split the bill with him...

All in the name of romance of course, no underhanded tactics from me in order to gain any advantage, no sir!
