  • Snaggles- Hope the veiwing went okay! it's a shame you can't eBay children, though I did see a very funny south park episode last night when Paris Hilton bought one of the younger characters as a pet. And I've entered that comp too, could do with a ski holiday!!

    Maz- The acer laptop in asda is pretty good spec, I thought, but one thing to check is if it has a DVD writer or not, I couldn't tell. But it's a good price so it is.

    And to all: I now have 2 stars AND it's snowing AND i get to go home from work early in case we get snowed in!!!
    I love my life sometimes!!!!

    Lol, I was hoping for something more in the region of £120k, but......go on then...:D


    (hope that doesn't constitute an exchange of contracts :rotfl:)



    always_amazed - Yes, we have run out of room in our house (and apparently you're not allowed to ebay children :confused:), so we need a third bedroom. We've looked into extending but it would be too expensive and would make the bedrooms very awkward shapes. Trying to find something that isn't too much more expensive though, but without moving to an ever rougher area...:o Not much to ask, eh?? :)

    There's a house for sale on my street for £115k :grin:

    Oh keren sorry you're feeling crap too. I'm having a hard time shaking this thing as well and I have no right what so ever to be depressed, I love my job, great kids, lovely hubby, nice house, money in the bank. My sleep is a bit all over the place, so this morning I went back to bed for a couple of hours after the kids went to school, it was probably the wrong thing to do really, I should have got active instead, it's no good sitting here in Pjs at 1.30 when I haven't even emptied the dishwasher yet or put away the breakfast things.

    Anyway, keep on top of it, and if you need to go back on 'mother's little helpers' for a bit, then so be it. It'll only be a temporary thing and it might give you the boost you need to improve the job thing.

    Well :grouphug: to you, to LP, and to Keren. People do tend to feel more down over winter (it's the lack of light), so don't think you have "no right".

    Just try to focus on the important things that make you happier, and remember the blues are not forever.
