  • Morning all

    Solway - big ((((hugs)))) - very brave of you to give mrmessy the heave ho but if he's not right for you by now, he never will be

    Soappie - result on the maps - you could be onto a little goldmine there

    Kaz - kim & aggie eat your hearts out, you've got competition from the kazmeister - looked terrific after your hard work

    Lilo - hope you can get some downtime to relax but don't be too hard on yourself - remember your hormoones are in turmoil so moody is good. Hang on in there and good luck

    Rach - good luck with your move - you really set yourself some challenges, don't you? New job, birthday, move house and wedding so close together - I bet this little miss (soon to be mrs) will need to start wearing her pants outside soon, eh supergirl? wink.gif

    Sorry if I've missed anybody but (((hug))) to all

    I've just rung into work - still can't go in tomorrow - still can't speak without squeaking and now a new complication, I've broken out in a rash of tiny, itchy little spots all over that are driving me mad - will have to keep myself busy so I don't scratch.

    Going to get some brekkie - my tummy's rumbling - TTFN x
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    PPI Party Pooper
    Morning all. Just a quick one to say hi, been working all weekend so house now looks like a bombs hit it! Will spend all week tidying it, just for the same thing to happen again next weekend:o ((Hugs)) to all that need them, will check in later. Hope everyone has a nice day;)

    Sorry come on for a whinge (yes again:o ).

    Having a guilty mummy moment about littely missing her party today. I tried ringing the Mum of the party girl yesterday but her phone was switched off and it said to send text so thats what I did. Explained that no-one to watch over other daughter.

    I wouldnt dream of sending DH with both girls, maybe if DD1 was older but I know she would want to join in with all the games as she was at nursery with half the ones who will be at the party last year.

    DD2 has another party invite for 27th so am thinking I will have to book that off as holiday so she can go. Only problem with that is I only get 7 days holiday for the year.

    Sorry, moan over

    MUM ON A MISSION - The only place I have seen those bra things is in the betterware catalogues. I think you can order direct from them and may be able to do so via quidco. HTH

    Afternoon all

    Blowing a gale here but raining a little too so not drying weather. Two loads draped round indoors.

    Just emptied all the indoor bins and nearly got blown over on the way to the wheelie.

    Not cooking until teatime today because somebody is coming over to collect DD's old mattress at 11.30. Yes, 11.30. That's not really working is it? Hate waiting for people, feel as though I can't start anything.

    > wanders in shaking her head

    Just watched another map go in its final minutes. At 40 seconds to go it was £2.77. I turned my head away, looked back again and it ended on £13.05 !!!! And these have been sitting in the loft for 6 years?

    Soappie - yay on the maps - where are you taking us all then with your new funds LOL
    Solway - well done, hugs
    AnW's - extra big hug for A's birthday tomorrow, hope you all have a lovely day
    Shell - you sound so down at the minute luv, wish we could help more

    Not done much in the way of flying but have a lovely weekend, one load of washing and thats been it. Yesterday DS went to his Grannies for a few hours and me and DH went to Meadowhall, spent most of my Xmas vouchers and then had a naughty tea from M&S last night and more Spooks. Been swimming this morning, DH just made me lunch -beans on toast with poached egg and bacon yummy! - and DS is pooped out and in bed. Hvae put a gammon joint in SC for tea. Must re-do a meal plan later.

    Really need to get fit this year, don't need to lose any weight but everything is very squishy and get out of breath quick and already feel better for eating properly and cutting down on the wine but brought a new fitness DVD yesterday so toying with getting that on for 30mins and then having a bath with my book.

    Yes, actually I will and will get DH to do it too, enjoy the last of your weekend peeps!
