    Bunny - good luck with the jobs - do you want MFI or the radio one? My car was MOTd in Feb (though it doesn't expire until 14th March 2009, but I cannot find the certificate and I've searched high and low. I'm going to HAVE to get my car tax online (if I don't need the MOT, otherwise I'll have to visit the garage and sweet talk them into getting another certificate for me. Can't think where it can be at all!
    Pania - hope the headache improves / goes away.
    Mazz - we'll have to start calling you the ebay queen. I really must get organised and start to sell some of my old clothes, like the silk skirt that has never been worn in the 8 years I've had it (cos I might lose weight and get into it:o)
    Em - :eek: at the passport cost; mind you Wayne had to pay extra for his to be checked as he had 4 weeks before our holiday to get it sorted, which beats mine in 2001 when I realised 3 days before we were due to travel that it had expired. Que a very expensive trip to Liverpool but I was still able to go on holiday:D
    Hypno - good luck with OH at hospital today
    Ellidee - I kept getting kicked out of things last night but then again BT were messing around with the hubs! (it helps that from my bedroom window, I can see the engineers in the sub-station checking wires etc!

    I'm celebrating cos I've finally got WLM / MSN back at work:j. Of course, I need it for work purposes;), but can I help it if friends IM me as well as work colleagues:D!

    Have a good day everyone, Cat.x

    Morning lovely peeps:hello: I have been out and about already this morning. I went to the Doctors and then Asda to return an Xbox microphone which stopped working all of a sudden last night, so of course that was the end of the world.

    The boys aren't up yet so I am temperarely escaping the outcry that will occur when I tell them that I had to have a refund as they didn't have any more in stock.

    Oldest son has a grade 2 electic guitar exam today at 1.04pm, strange random time I thought:confused: so will be getting prepared soon to set off for that.

    OH is out with his mates tonight so I hope there will be some sort of party going on here:cool: have a great day everyone and sending Bunny ~~~~~positive vibes~~~~~~ for the jobs situation.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Morning all,

    Busy day here trying to find the house. Going to London this weekend for b-i-l 50th just me and oh. Friends are coming to stay here and look after the children so trying to be all clean and tidy. Weather is once again miserable, I don't think it knows how to stop raining!!!! Going to go and wallow in the bath for a while before attempting 1 day mad spring clean!!

    Good luck for the jobs.

    Cat, you don't need your certificate if you tax on-line, just the DVLA reminder, their computer checks everything out for you (a bit like the Police do if they pull you up :rolleyes:)

    Lucielle, why not clean up first, then get nice & clean & relaxed in the bath?

    Have a great day folks, it's a bit miserable on the Lancashire coast :(

    Morning everyone. Feeling a bit deflated today. Not sure why. I'm guessing PMT. Joy! On the bright side it's Ste's pay day and his bonus went in so we're on the first steps to paying off the egg card at the end of the month. :)

    Im not surprised you are feeling like that Sar, things have been a bit manic for you lately, in a good way, but still manic and as you were poorly yesterday you are probably a bit washed out. Take it easy today if you can (I know it isnt easy), but dont forget to treat youself kindly some days:kisses3:

    Good news on the Egg card:T

    I'm sooooo jealous - DS had a bad dream so came and joined me which led to cover stealing and elbowing for the rest of the night. Then he still leapt out of bed at 7am full of beans... Last day of school hols here - yippeee! (actually it's been fun but it's a bit of a miserable grey day today.)
