Thanks everyone, you've truly cheered me up from what I feared would be a horrible birthday!
BF is still a loser, all I got this morning was a cr&ppy text message! No phone call, card nada!
And he still thinks I'm in the wrong!!!
Oh well....
Got a lovely book as a present from my friend, on Jack Vettriano, so I'm going to mooch through that in a lazy afternoon fest of Pringles and Haribo, which one of the young girlies at work bought me for my bday!awwww
I have just won two tickets to the Ideal Home Show in another comp - should I use them or sell them? Opinions please.
Use them..............

CAFCgirl, PM me your address and I'll post you the Ideal Home tickets, along with a guaranteed spend-free homemade birthday card!
I'm delighted to have something so positive to do with the tickets as I'd have to ask my OH to help me ebay them, and he'd make a big fuss about how it was so timeconsuming and not worth his valuable time!
