  • hope the assignment went well. I think we would all love to meet other mse's in real life to see who's behind the name it's great to build up a picture of people.

    Don't let that stop you - it doesn't stop the rest of us :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi nattypants

    Just delurking to say I've been reading your diary for a while and enjoy your style. :hello:

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    ooh eck! I am bit keen but need to convince OH who is probably more realistic saying we should buy the furniture we need and keep a savings buffer - slowly furnishing everywhere month by month as we get a little extra to play with.

    You OK natty?

    You've been posting on some other people's diaries, so I hope that means you've just been a bit busy, but don't give up posting on your own. Some of us rely on you to make us smile. :)

    Awww thank you so much for taking the time to post everyone.

    I have been working late (not long home, however already downed two large glasses of red - oops). Thursday is INSET so have been preparing lovely CLPL activities to spread the joy amongst the troops.

    Uni stuff is going okay, assuming your definition of okay is the same as mine ... being FA over the last two days:o Next submission is Monday though, so really need to get my !!! in gear, although have come to realise that procrastination really does result in pi$$ poor performance, however pressure is my bestest pal:D

    Radish my old mucker - VERY pleased to see you back in the fold
    Doobop - yes, chocowine is just as it sounds .... chocolate wine;)
    Lavinia - one time I travelled through to another city with a work colleague (first time meeting him), and for practically the whole journey he talked about MOPs and spreadsheets ... I was so close to saying 'Edinburgher is this you???!!!!'
    Lydia - please don't lurk, I like company otherwise it's just me and HDK talking crap
    Habbb - I have been guerrilla stalking your diary and do love it v.much!
    Lois - what can I say? Please, please don't disappear again as me and Cal find it difficult to function with you.
    Finally, GG - I'll get my people to call your people ...

    I went out with Mr GG to see his mum with my slippers on :T. Like these but with pompoms :D.

    He was not impressed and I was afraid he would engineer a breakdown :rotfl:.

    What can I say, it's true :) Same goes for you though, no more disappearing acts, we expect a minimum of bi-weekly updates ;)

    Good luck with assignments, I'll give you a friendly kick up the backside if you return the favour, lots of work to be getting on with

    I miss the days of going out at random times in jams:( fortunately however my daughter is moving back home in a few months so fingers crossed she will expect a similar taxi service thereby enabling my passion for embarrassing situations!

    PS I like the slippers, Mr. GG is lucky to have you.
    PPS I may have drunk too much wine

    PPPS tomorrow morning I will regret my wine consumption_pale_
