Evening everyone :hello:

:beer: Happy birthday Mushy Peas! :beer:

Just a very quick message tonight, but thank crunchie it's Friday! I couldn't have coped with one more day at school this week. It's been a nightmare.

DH and I are still upset about the house falling through. What's even worse is that we've lost £700 in survey and search fees! Just because the vendor didn't realise the cost of buying a new house :rolleyes: :mad: :mad:

The rest of tonight will be spent relaxing, before sleeping for as long as possible and NOT having to wake up with an alarm.........

Take care all :wave:

DH is talking about ways to try to make the vendor see sense (eg stone through her window :rolleyes: - he IS joking, by the way). Blinking daft eejit of a person!

Another day at work but was very OS as didn't have enough time to go to supermarlet and buy cade (tradition at work for birthdays and I am 40 next week!!) so I made a choccy fridge cake and everyone loved it!! I was so surprised! Decided to make my nan's 'dougal' which is ginger biccies and dream topping to take to my parents tomorrow. Will try and make something else homemade for work on Monday for birthday again for those that missed it today!
Away for weekend so have a good one everyone!!

Vicky - I'm so sorry.

This is when I'm glad I bought a house in Scotland as the laws are different here - if you say you're gonna buy, you buy - no last minute get-out is possible. This system is so much fairer on the buyer in my opinion.

There are other problems with the Scottish system (offers over craziness etc) however!

I hope everything works out for you.

Onestep - congrats on your PHD!!!!

Well, im so glad its Friday, this week seems to have dragged!!!! Have to get up early tomorrow, as DS has football, but part of me is hoping that it will have been cancelled, its been raining a lot here today!!!
Didnt get as much done as i had hoped today, but the kitchen is looking tidier, so thats the main thing.
Right, off for a browse before bed,
Hope everyone sleeps well,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I visited my friend this afternoon, the HM lemon drizzle cake went down a storm...... I did manage to leave her a little for later.
