    I've had a blast from the past this morning, with two old school friends contacting me through Facebook.

    Spurred me to pull out a load of old Uni photos. Need a scanner though so I might pop a 'wanted' on freecycle.

    Good Morning all :)

    Thats great news immoral, I hope hoping to be posting something similar next year, but we'll see :o

    Sorry your feeling rubbish pap, hope your better soon :) Last night I had a sneezathon. I sneezed about 8 times one after another and felt like i might be catching a cold, but was fine when i woke this morning.

    The sun is shining over here in Wrexham this morning but there is a an icey feel in the air. I am having a lovely peaceful morning, sent all the engineers out on jobs and I am sat here with a nice warm coffee, with not much work to do :T

    I have been packing ready for moving next week, I end up paking a couple of boxes then getting bored :o I need to get more motivated :rotfl:

    Ok IA, I'll try dialaphone tonight! The cost cutting has been relatively pain-free so far - amazing.

    Cat.x
    Well the deal we got was a free brand new song erricson pS500i, 500mins and 500 texts for £30 a month, £120 (I think) cashback through dialaphone, free nintendo wii and wii sports game PLUS £60 cashback through quidco.

    Just waiting for the wii to be delivered as they're awaiting stock but should have it by next week. :)

    Keren, lucky you! I've so far had 2 horrid exes and a psychopath (or it could be sociopath) from my school days try to contact me. On the nice side, a medical elective student from Canada made contact! Cat.x

    Massive thanks cat - it Clarendon Wing at the LGI - they kept putting me through to Jubilee :mad: :mad:

    Anyhoo, the lovely lady at unltrasound when I finally got through told me to tell the GP to call and they would fax a copy!!

    I'm a natterfart by trade but am a little worried at the speed they originally sent the results when I was lead to beleive it takes much longer (oh, and the interest the sonographer appeared to take in one of her kidneys :eek: :eek: ) ~ hopefully I'm just being an over anxious mum :rolleyes:

    Thanks again :grin:

    Morning all.

    I've had a couple of interesting experiences on Facebook and stuff. Nothing like old 'friends' explaining how your ex married 18 months after cheating on you and they have never seen him happiler!!!

    They seemed to forget that I was still trying to scrap together some sort of personality after he admitted the affair over the phone!! Nice people! But I have got to know some lovely DFW's better through Facebook so it's not all bad!
