ooh, excellent - cheers Jumble- Bee!!

I agree - why should the kids have the fun!!

Ha ha, kids don't have all the fun, look at all the laughs we've had on here! Just had yummy dinner of leftovers, bizarrely my favourite meal, with some of OH's first 'real' loaf and Twinks hobnobs just about to come out the oven.
And the ickle mouse is doing well, sleeping off his cat biscuits - could life be any better?

I think I remember the prediction about the gypsy caravan, pretty cool!

I've listed 2 things on Ebay, not exactly great but I was preoccupied by the mousette. I'm getting well up for the Inerest Beater now, would like to know about the free bingo etc too please Marru. I hear of so many people that win but I never have, why is that? I may have said this before (medical hazard ) so just ignore me, but I had my astrological chart done once and it said I should stay away from gambling as I'd be hopeless at it! It also said I would probably need 2 houses :rotfl::rotfl:is that for all my clutter I wonder?
EDIT: ha ha, did anyone get to read that in time to see I'd written astronomical rather than astrological! Never a truer word...

I'm a failure - my aim of having a NSD was nixed. Had a horrible (as per blooming usual) day at work, and consoled myself first with a 35p kitkat then went out to buy a multi-pack of mini cheddars to 'treat' DD with tomorrow after she has a blood test, but ended up eating some and gave a pack to the woman I sit next to, as she also needed cheering up.......Really pleased I only work 4 days a week, don't think I could handle the place 5 days!

.......then decided to take DD to the park on the way home to play on the swings and slides. We parked outside our favourite restaurant in our village and she announced that she didn't want to play, she wanted to eat in the restaurant!! We shared a meal and boy it was deeeeeeelish but rather expensive. Kind of funny though that a 3 year old has such fine dining tastes! When the owner told us the special, she announced that she doesn't eat meat, she eats vegetarian chicken (i.e. Quorn!). Bless her little vegetarian socks

Kittikins, it sounds like you need to do a Marru and change jobs! Love the vegetarian chicken remark!
Right, I've signed up to the zodiac site, roll up, roll up for a winner please!

:hello: everyone! Well,. I've had a NSD and my laptop has arrived! I am currently sat on it trying to figure out where everything is, as its got Windows Vista and its completely different to Windows XP! Looks snazzy though

Kittikins

I would love to change jobs....I've been working as a PA for ages, am good at it but it bores me. The main reason I stick in this job is that it gives me a great work/life balance and pays the bills (just). Also, I'm a scaredy-cat, and have no self-confidence these days, lol.

Hopefully once I sell my house and downsize, I might be able to either work in a job that will fulfill me a bit, or keep on doing the same thing but be able to save so I can re-train.

But in the meantime, I have to keep my house tidy so that when I get viewings they fall in love with the place, STOP SPENDING on wasteful items, save my Quidco money and any other goodies and have faith!!

Blimey, I can waffle on eh?!?

Bluefleur, this is for you! Isn't he a cutie? The 'rockpool' is in a milk lid so you can see how small he is. Thanks everyone for all your help today, from me and the Mousette xx

Frugaldom

Frugalmouse looks very healthy and cute! Hope he doesn't mind my calling him Pip Squeak, it just sprang to mind from nowhere.

I'm in free Gala bingo right now! Haven't a clue what to do, do I need to be in the actual game I'm supposed to be playing? I've claimed loads of free tickets - is that it? How do I keep tabs on all the games? What do I do??

System

no idea...im trying to get to grips with the grand national thingy...
its like a gambling den in here!
