    Right, try again!

    Laura Jo, I was saying I've only been MIA for a couple of months only to find out you've only been and gone and done it! :j :j Brilliant news, and like the others i'm so happy for you

    It sounds like you had a great weekend and go you re all that spending, did it feel fun or did you feel naughty :p

    How did you find CdS (too lazy to look at spelling) I got free tickets a couple of years ago and it was fantastic and really exceeded all my expectations and even better that it was free!

    I loved your list of what you plan to do and particularly helping family. This really resonated with me as there is a very close member of family who I know has a very small overdraft but she has had it for ever and I would love to pay it off for her. I could do this quite easily but I hang back as her other half has a brilliant highly paid job but there seems to be a bit of 'what's mine is mine' going on so it's a bit sensitive isn't it when it comes to things like that

    Great news you've now got horsey moved, things are all coming together :D

    Regards
    ATT
    Nice to see you back! That's a tricky situation with the family... How long have they been together? He should help out really!
    I felt well bad spending loadsa money but it was also soooo good! I even bought some chewing gum on my lunch break today which I would never have done before :D still took in my lunch tho!
    CDS amazing eh?!

    Hi watty and alchemilla :hello:
    Horsey seems ok thankfully. Luckily the naughty one didn't have back shoes on so it certainly could have been worse! I'm so impressed that he just stood there and took it...weird coz he's always such an idiot :D

    Morning all!
    Hope everyone is having a nice week and not getting too soaked :(
    Picked up car on Sat which has been a god send after a weird storm thing blew through on Sun and a tree and lots of random branches came down on the road to the yard! Managed to get round them all!
    Hope no one had any damage?
