    I hope the news isn't too bad confused

    Bonsi - sounds like things could turn out OK, hope so.

    I didn't get far with the photos, I had to go and cook the dinner and then wander round the shops with DD2 while she bought stuff and I watched.

    I did look for an album for some old postcards we have but didn't see a nice one. Well not a cheap nice one. I'll get back to it another day. They're all in a drawer under the bed so not in the way at all.

    Work soon :(

    What were you betting on? How much did you win?

    Royal Ascot of course sweetie :D South Central in the 2.30 winning me a grand total of £16.25 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I never bet more than I can afford to loose ;)

    Well done. Just had a call from Mum wanting a bet putting on as I have an account (or 4 :rolleyes: ) so of course now I've put one on the Gold Cup too - hopefully more profitable than working!!

    How did your horses get on?

    Actually, I'm only having a bet today and Saturday. Might have a bet on the football with on of the specials that Paddy Power do. Ascot is fab for looking at the fashions and I have an outfit to plan for Ladies Day at Aintree next year :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hugs to all of your, not a good day for us flyladies is it.

    Feeling really teary myself (maybe AF will be here soon after all). Having teen trouble (not as bad as some of you) and I really don't deal with it well.

    None zero flying but did do a bit in the garden, going to throw some fish fingers in the direction of the AGA now and put the washing machine on again.

    I think my rabbit is trying to tell me something, she's flinging her food bowl round her cage and looking expectantly at me:rotfl:

    Hi all,
    I've managed to do 1 load of washing in 2 days and S&S the kitchen, attempted to revise for my test tomorrow but I think I'll just wing it.....
    I will excuse my untidy house with the fact that I went out for a walk this afternoon and kept walking for 3 1/2 hours!!!! My feet are absolutely screaming now (and they probably stink)

    Bonsi, glad things are looking a little brighter, got everything crossed here.

    Lucifa, give us a wave as you're passing on your way to Cornwall (presuming you'll come down the M5) and have a nice hol, it can't rain as much as last year....

    Johanne, what can I say, men are insensitive jerks......

    Everyone else, hugs and good luck and a swift kick up the posterior for those who need it (I believe someone other than me need to revise????)

    Laters peeps
