    Thanks for the info on IPTW, i missed the start and your little bit IA, have to say the children were great on it, as of course were you. Martin was very emotional about it wasn't he?
    I loved the bit when she told her dad to shut up, and you looked very efficient in your suit. Well done.

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    WELL DONE just watched it how fab!
    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    If you are a size 8-10 yes, anytime with thick black tights if chilly, without if sunny. (and i think you and i are the same, so 'tis a no no)

    Unless, you are going on holiday, in which case yes, yes, yes!!

    (IMHO!)

    thats one of the perks of working for a travel agency!! (thomas cook)
    and what makes it more MSE is that on board, if you want to buy a gift etc you have to pay on credit card only (cos its not set up for cash, other cards till it launches) so cant buy anything even if i wanted to!

    Good Afternoon All!

    Well the sun is shining where I am...
    And I am in a top mood!

    Had a fairly good nights sleep, got up relatively early (pre 10am) and done some laundry, popped into town to stock up on toilettries bits and pieces (Spent 11.32) but thats everything I need for a fairly long old while,got conditioner on BOGOF so that will last, and then got some tanning body lotion, in an attempt to develop a little bit of colour and not give in to temptation to have a St Tropez done before our wedding reception!

    And then........... to round off my morning, I paid off my Dorothy Perkins store card completely!!!
    YAY!
    I'm so chuffed, I've had that card for about 4 years now and it's never been at zero (I dont even want to think about what I've paid in interest!), but now its gone!
    Written up a letter to cancel it and that will get posted tomorrow!

    HAPPY DAYS!!!
    Only 27 months to go now before we are debt free!
