    Good morning all...

    I was hoping to sign on and read about everyone booking their Bella meals...but I've heard nothing and it seems that no one here may have either...

    Sarah....I really hope your DS enjoys the bricklaying course...its a dying art,but certainly needed....good brickies are always in demand as are lots of the trades
    First rent payment for uni came out of our account this morning and he doesn't even move in till Saturday...and money is just flowing through like water at the moment so I really am hoping that we can reign in the spending soon.

    off to T today with a conditional spend to get hopefully the last bits and pieces then its just a sake of playing tetris to get it all into the car for just one journey on Saturday

    Looks like we might get a bit of sun today too so if you can...enjoy!

    No I have only had the Big Free Dinner booking opening soon details of the 4 Mondays from 19th September 10 tables of 2 each week...

    I like to spread it about a bit. ;)

    I surrender. Looking at the weather forecast I think I shall just make the Christmas cake and pud tomorrow, they keep moving the goalposts weather-wise :eek:

    It is currently warmer here than in Madeira :eek:

    Enterprise I've just come from B & M store and they have Wahl and Remmington hair clippers/trimmers £9.99. Others are available, cheaper and more expensive :D
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Our nearest now is S'ton marrbett since the B'mth one closed. We are going to S'ton on one of the Mondays it's on as it's Mr TS's birthday so hoping we might get in for then.

    I had email last week from Bella Italia to say you needed to sign up to their new Bella Club for a chance to book the Big Free Dinner. That's all we know so far, the dates were announced yesterday and just says booking opening soon.

    Off to put my shopping away, 12 cans of Pepsi Max £2.99, that will do for me :)

    Too hot to be outside so curtains all closed to keep the sun out and make it cooler indoors. A nice cold drink of water, feet up and a film maybe :cool:

    See you all later X

    Starting to make sense ..

    Not in the way you think. I'm hoping the format doesn't change at all. Basically I used to work in the Film and TV industry and through that I indirectly worked for BBC Wales. When I did apply I got through to the phone interview stage and they said they wouldn't take me further because of the 'conflict of interest' - meaning although Love Productions make the programme, it was still receiving BBC funding. So I'm hoping (and yes I do realise it's an incredibly, nigh on long shot) that I can apply for next year without that restriction impending on my application.

    If the format changed to the point where I needed a sad back story or it involved Big Brother-esque tasks, they can quite frankly do one :rotfl:
