    shall I make you jealous then? I met him recently! he has a football thing at braehead and DS was there at a party, KK came through the bar a few times and chatted away - seems a nice bloke.

    I've had a few wins on the free bingo, and the money has hit my account, but I've heard a few people saying they are having problems, so maybe that particular loophole is being closed.

    Oh well, it was good while it lasted!
    not won a thing:mad:

    The last time I was there I was going to go in just for that reason!

    Been at work all day today and its Payday, you know It never seems to matter how much overtime or Sunday working I do I always get the same pay packet, I seem to have lived there this month, but today virtually same pay packet as last month. Anyway managed to get loads of bargins on the way out today, two big bags of Freezer food, £1.50 a bag all mixed up you never know whats in the bags, but I did quite well, fish fingers, chips, veg, yorkshire puddings, puddings, ice cream. ( I work in S*******ys supermarket) also managed to get washing powder and diswasher tablets cheap as boxes were damaged and some shop floor soiled clothes. Perk of the job I guess, also got to eat three big bags of crisps that go out of date by the end of the week, sure kids will help me. Going to try and do this more often would save me a fortune, just sometimes I can't be bothered to look, must make the effort in future, I am pleased with todays bargins.:T
    totally jealous of those bargains:cool:

    not won a thing:mad:

    I won £7 odd on one of them but need to put my money in to be able to withdraw and Im a bit dubious....will think about it before I commit to it and maybe loose the £23 of my own money (not very DFW)

    Things have been great all week - I have had terrible pmt (;) Zed), but have really kept it under control, and haven't been snappy at all (and considering the painful cramps I have had, THAT is a bloody miracle :o). I have cleaned the house, made him nice meals, looked after the kids, I have been into school on my own to see the headmaster about a little 'issue' that Ryan has had this week, so that he didn't have to deal with it.......I've made everything as perfect as possible for him, so that come Friday night we could sit down and relax, and have a nice evening together.

    But for some reason I have obviously done something wrong, because he is being grumpy with Ryan and after me commenting that he was being a bit snappy, he now isn't speaking to me at all. Oh, in fact he's fallen asleep....nice!

    I'm sick of him being so tired and miserable every weekend. He hasn't even been working hard - he's been a 'driver's mate' this week while he learns the job, which has basically involved sitting in the passenger seat and not doing a great deal. Beginning to think he is just miserable at the thought of spending time with me. :( I had the chance to go out tonight too, but turned it down to spend time with him because I went to Bunny's last weekend.

    Anyway, that's enough depressing stuff - going to pinch the rest of his bottle of wine while he is asleep...lol. :)

    Oh Mr S,
    [FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]You couldn't be safer,or more thought about, or more loved. It really does upset me when you are upset cause you are a DFW Pillar. I don't know why hubby is feeling down but I suspect it maybe something to do with feeling 'responsible' for Ryan. I know you work hard, all women do and do you know that is why I have the greatest of respect for women because you all take it in your stride. I couldnt do it and do you also know what you have said about Stu echoes many of my behavioural habits at home; I'm not a bad person I am just so plain lazy sometimes and I like to be taken charge of; i.e. I know that OH will do it all. Blokes in the main are lazy but are ver simple creatures. I don' t know what you can do to spring him into action ermmm let me think ;) but maybe its depression it has been a diffcult time with Ryan, Job and the diffculties you and him have had. You expend so much of your time to your children that maybe you need some time so spend with eachother; time to get the mask and whips out eh ;). I love you Mrs S and I hope you can find some middle ground and find a meeting point somewhere in the middle.[/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] Besides its Friday.

    It's 29 February 2008.

    [FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] Do you know what today means, in spiritual, numerical terms?

    Me neither. [/FONT]
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] But I know this, your thoughts become things every single day, no matter what the occasion, no matter where the energy vortices lie, no matter when the equinox starts, no matter what the economy is doing, no matter who is in office, no matter what you want, no matter when you want it, no matter what, no matter what, no matter what. [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] Any other thinking just gives your power away.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]
    Positive influencing Mrs S, its the future, take charge of your thoughts and they will take charge of you. Love ya Lenny x
