    Hi everyone

    Enjoy your shopping Skint - does you good to treat yourself to some new clobber!

    I know what you mean about the boozing WW - I cant do it anymore just feel so lousy the day after. Glad you had a good time though ... just put your feet up today eh and take it easy :)

    Ive spent the morning sorting out bank accounts, savings accounts etc. Very boring I know for a Saturday morning. Just switched my current account provider so wading through all the paperwork. Plus doing some switching round/setting up with my savings accounts so it all takes time to sort. Going to have a walk this aft tho, in the rain by the looks of it!

    Have a good weekend all x

    Hello Sanch! You had a much more productive day than I did!

    I'm better now! Although I doubt I'll be boozing for a while.....;)

    The hangover has subsided, I must have slept on and off for most of the day yesterday - I did manage a few dog walks and cleaning the house but other than that yesterday was a write off.:o I'll admit to a little daliance with another teacher on Friday - I doubt anything will come of it but still it proves I've still "got it" if I try :rotfl:Well it has been almost 3 years!

    So today will be a getting things done day - I need to do the shoppng, clean the car, get some exercise done and sort out a little bit of schoolwork.

    Need to do a bit of restorative work on me too - a face scrub, nails, bit of tanning etc to make sure I don't look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards when I go back to work. Just one week to go until the holidays - roll on Friday!

    Hi all, Sunday again that has soon come round!

    I'll admit to a little daliance with another teacher on Friday - I doubt anything will come of it but still it proves I've still "got it" if I try

    Hey good for you WW .... a little daliance does you good ... youve got to keep your hand in eh just in case Mr Bond appears on the horizon! You dont want to be out of practice :) Let us know of any developments!

    Quiet weekend for me this weekend, got lots of jobs to do today, would help if the weather was more cheerful. Still...might get some washing dry at least.

    Bye for now x

    Well ladies - the fling is certainly being flung at the moment! Saw him again yesterday - very good fun ;) That's 3 times in the past week!
    Feel about 10 years younger - all this attention and excitement does wonders for the ego. I am officially a wanton woman :rotfl: Didn't think I still had it in me!
    Who knows where it will go but I've decided to just go with the flow and enjoy it for now.

    There are plans to get together later in the week so that's something to look forward to and to preen myself for.:)

    I have to tackle the garden today - it seems that the weather is going to be ok so the time has finally come to tame the jungle. It will be hard work and not much fun with the hayfever but its getting beyond a joke now.

    Hope everyone has a good bank holiday weekend. Off to take the dog for a good walk somewhere before calling in to B&Q for gardening supplies as soon as the shops open - no more putting it off.

    WOW WW !! Was wondering what was keeping you away and now we know ;) Good for you !! You deserve some fun and attention so enjoy !

    Sun is out here, and I've got washing on and have cleaned my oven - domestic goddess :rotfl: No dashing hero on the horizon to sweep me off my feet sadly, so it looks like a day of washing windows. Am going to see a friend later and may attempt some wine (just have to watch the side effects with my meds - may be flat on my back after one glass and not in a romantic way either ;)) Am glad I've got next week off work too.

    Hope all have a great bank holiday x

    I know!!! Me!! I am officially fabulous! Well, I can be for a few hours at a time at least! Just sorted the garden - took all morning but I'm not ashamed of it now - its not exactly Kew Gardens but at least you can see the dog in the back garden now:rotfl:
    I've been gardening in a bikini top - might have shocked the neighbours but who cares!:D I'm probably the talk of the cul-de-sac this week anyway!

    Hope the wine goes well for you - a little chill out at the beginning of the hols will do you the world of good.

    WW ..... :):):) Thats all I can say to you! Good on yer chuck, you enjoy yourself - we only get one life and make the most of it that's what I say!

    Skint you enjoy your wine, Ive got some beer in instead, its cheaper you can tell its near the end of the month :(

    Been round the market this morning with my friend, buying plants mostly, really cheap. Met a few faces I hadnt seen for a while too so was nice. We then went in "The Spoons" for toast and coffee, scrummy. Scoffed the lot embarrasingly before she had eaten one piece! Talk about greedy oh well....

    Im going to get a grip next week too Skint - this weekend think I will just slob out except for Monday when on an organised walk.

    Talk soon Grippers and keep us up to speed with developments WW :)
