    Afternoon all,

    Sorry to hear about your phone Amy, hopefully once the water all goes hopefully it will still work. I dropped my ex boyfriends mobile into a swimming pool once, it was brand new like yours so he wasn’t best pleased, but we left it for a day and after that it worked fine.
    Try not to listen to your sister Amy, it was just an accident, nothing to do with you not managing. Your great to your cats, they are very lucky things to have you as their mummy.

    Great news about the Pizza Hut credit Jen, everybody loves free food. It always tastes better when you know your getting it for free!!!

    Its been another busy day at work today, I try not to log on to much while at work, I think it’s a bit cheeky as I’m paid to be there working not surfing the net. Home time in a couple of hours, then I’m off out for my mates birthday meal.

    I hope everybody is having a lovely day and enjoying the sunshine :j

    Free pizza hut vouchers are great, maybe I need to find a reason to complain ;). I love pizza hut pizza but I haven't had it for ages... does anyone remember back in 2005/6 I think it was when they did a pizza called the new yorker? It was 50% bigger than a large one and was brilliant because it only cost £10 and fed three people!

    Ignore your sister Amy, sisters can be like that sometimes... I don't blame you for not falling for the 'I'm skint' routine re. your birthday.
    Well done Jen for your sales today. I haven't made any more sales yet but I have got some items finishing tonight and they have bids on. I put some more stuff up today I've got over 50 items up now...just hope they sell-even if just half of them sell I'll be happy.
    Yes, everyone likes free food... Well done on the pizza hut vouchers!!!!
    Enjoy your mates birthday meal Hayley.
    Yes Nicki I remember the New Yorker...I think. all this talk of food is making me hungry and I haven't the foggiest idea of what to do for tea...didn't take anything out of the freezer for today. [doh]
    No MM tonight? Then again it's only 7pm so the night is young (and so am I unless you ask my kids and they'll say I'm really old!!! lol
    Right, better finish off drinking my cuppa

    We need to do a car boot on sunday but don't know what the weather forecast is either. Ideally it should be warm-but not too hot, dry, and not windy at all!!! just a very very gentle breeze. That will make me a happy bunny. We've got enough stuff to do several car boots!!! I tidied out the loft earlier this year but it's quite full again and there is alot more that needs to go in there temporarily!!!

    just seen a forecast and its rain sorry!!!

    Amy-if you've got an airing cupboard put your phone in there to dry out gradually, dont try switching it on again for a few days at least to give it chance to completely dry-you might be surprised how it recovers.
    and ignore your sister-well done for not giving in and paying for their meal as well!!
    congrats on your ebaying jen and cath-how are those tickets looking jen?

    Well done on the ebay sales jen, I sold another necklace earlier and have a new bid on one of my auctions so now I'm only £3 away from being able to withdraw £50 from paypal.

    The pizza was huge wasn't it! I miss it lol. I made some stuffed mushrooms for dinner which were really nice. I've joined the 20p savings club tonight so I'm hoping they will bump up my savings, I tend to get quite a lot of coins when I send packages abroad so they'll all go in my pigsback pig :D.
