    Morning all

    Computer is OK as long as you don't mind it restarting itself from time to time. I think it will have to be taken back in next week so I'll probably disappear then if not before.

    Vacuumed through downstairs. Done two loads of washing including DD's bedding. Going out soon so that will probably be about it but things are fairly tidy if you don't look at all the fishing gear in the living room......


    Hope you're OK lil_me, I get very scared when neighbours cause trouble. We had drug addicts next door at one time and used to get police raids in the middle of the night but luckily they were evicted eventually.

    All the best to anyone else who needs it.
  • Good morning everyone! Just been out for a run, and sat now having breakfast. Done a few things to tidy the house, and have a long list for today. Choir starts back this evening, so looking forward to that.

    Michelle CONGRATULATIONS to all 3 of you!!

    Lilme - (((((hugs)))))

    See you all later, Penny. x

    In my best 'Wicked Witch of the West'-cackle... heeeheeeheeeeheeeeheeeeee!!!!
    I just dropped the shoe shop in the doo-doo-s.. the one that sold me the shoes that don't fit the girls.. and they said take them back to the nearest Clarks store and they will give me a full refund.. and claim the money back from the shop I bought them from as it was an independant store... heeheeeheeheee!!!

    ((((hugs)))) to Lil_me... go burn their house down so they have to move! Through dog poo at their windows and post them a big envelope full of it!!! I'd have contacted the police as well. Also the council have an anti-social neighbour dept who you need to log the complaint with before the police cn get involved.. but it IS worth it!!! You shouldn't have to upset the boys and leave your home because you have neighbours who NEED to be drowned. I hope you can get this sorted.

    Congratulations Michelle - another flybaby!
    Hugs to Serena - hope your Mum starts to improve soon.
    Lil_me I hope you're ok - it sounds like a nightmare. We're all thinking of you and sending good feelings your way.
    Pollybear any news on that money that was stolen from your account yet?
    Hugs to everyone else who needs them.

    At work, so should really sign off now, and come back on at lunch, cos I'm meant to be working and not chatting. Don't want to get caught being naughty.

    Will come back on at lunch break.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
