    Always hope then El ;)

    School's out and it's not raining! Think DS and I are heading down the coast a bit to a lovely castle for a wander and maybe some lunch:D

    Money ticking along just waiting to see what I spend at the weekend before making overpayments... Trying to think of a nice new house pressie for my friend as she and her husband have had a bit of hard time lately and it's going to drag on a fair bit longer - they don't need anything practical... might do them a wee night in hamper.

    Well, feel free to post his picture and we'll give you our honest opinion :D.

    That sounds lovely SS, shows real caring rather than a 'quick, grab a bottle' :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    It's been a lovely day here and I even saw some lambs :D always makes me happy in my deluded spring is just around the corner way:o

    Had a nice walk with DS but despite it being a holiday weekend there was no food on the go at the castle... sandwiches from as*a instead!

    I am working my way through a huge to-do list but some of the stuff is getting crossed off - college notes need sorting next...

    oh and just to give you all a laugh at my OD attempts...bloke was mailing me last week, all was well even after sending photo then stopped mailing after a reply I sent, fair enough I thought maybe he's met someone or I'm just not his type... then he mailed today using almost identical first message:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: two options really - either I'm just not that memorable or he's a drunken eegit! but really you do have to laugh!

    NSD so far but I haven't left the house yet... need teabags and milk so will go on the way back from gym.

    I have tidied up and done yet more washing, not sure where it's all coming from.

    oh and turned down a 28yr old:rotfl::rotfl: not sure what my younger age limit is but I think I said 40-50, suggested a time to coffee man but he can only do the evening and I could only manage during the day so won't be this weekend:( never mind, I probably need sunday to recover and study:D.

    40? 40? 40? I think you can go younger than that Sporty Spice? Have you looked in the mirror recently?

    I seemed to attract an amazing number of 25 year olds...most of whom wanted to meet in their bedroom!!!
