So much for the diet!
DYJLIW - you have the day off tomorrow :w00t:
DYJLIW you get an unexpected £270 Child Benefit payment!!!
Patsy 09-02-2006, 04:28 PM Have you suddenly discovered extra kids, oh Quiz Supremo?
Bella 09-02-2006, 06:10 PM It's a secret love child, Patsy. Those Aberdonians, nothing better to do with their cold nights in! :w00t:

Nothing as exciting as that! My youger son left school to take some time out before uni - we stopped getting child benefit - but apparently we were entitled to some for a while as he is not in full time employment - so they put some in to our account!
We knew nothing about it so we phoned - and all was explained!!
One of your best friends has finally set a date for her wedding!
Dolores 10-02-2006, 07:46 AM One of your best friends has finally set a date for her wedding!
will you be buying a hat ILS!
will you be buying a hat ILS!
I don't really do hats, Dol, so I am not sure if I will, but I will certainly be buying a new outfit.
You have a week off work - and hopefully NO sick kids to look after!!
Andrea 10-02-2006, 09:26 PM DYJLIW you find out that there is a Kinnerton factory near you and they have a factory shop that sells seconds.
Guess who's been stuffing their face with walnut whips, without the walnut, and choccy biscuits just like the one's in the posh M&S boxes.:w00t:
Coastie 14-02-2006, 01:53 PM DYJLIW - you finally get your first appointment with the new NHS dentist in town and he's very nice...:naughty:
(Have you had him in you mouth yet Dol?)
I can now phone up my dentsist of 30yrs and tell him to shove it...his fault for going private on me! :boxing:

Dolores 14-02-2006, 04:44 PM DYJLIW - you finally get your first appointment with the new NHS dentist in town and he's very nice...:naughty:
(Have you had him in you mouth yet Dol?)
I haven't had that pleasure Coastie! My dentist is a rather charming petit Persian man ... he spends as little time as possible in my mouth ...probably cos i get free treatment and filling out the paperwork to claim the money back is probably too much hassle.
Coastie 14-02-2006, 04:49 PM The new one is Mr Sobeski - he's Polish I believe...has a lovely accent and really nice grey blue eyes...:wub:
He had a good probe around my gigantuine gob and was very pleased with what he saw...he also told me that the minute filling my private dentist said I would need most certainly was not required! Makes me wonder oif the last tiny one he did was really needed or if he simply wanted to rip me off by £35! :mad2:
DYJLIW you send off the cheque to pay for your Easter holiday - only 47 days to go!!
Andrea 14-02-2006, 06:12 PM DYJLIW you go into Boots and buy some stuff totalling £12 but only have to pay £2 cause you have a tenners worth of vouchers (got these from collecting points on a pay per click site so basically got the vouchers for free) and then you get a voucher given back to you by the sales assistant for £5 off some skin care products because you have "spent" ten pounds.
DYJLIW - things go wrong in the show you are crewing - and none of them are your fault :thumbsup:

DYJLIW - you find out, you aren't going to be made redundant after all :D
Aondeag 17-02-2006, 02:45 PM YAY!

Critique 17-02-2006, 03:12 PM Great news Ils :thumbsup:
DYJLIW ...
your hubby has a day off work and instead of disappearing into his loft/workroom he clears all the rubbish out of the back garden - especially as it mostly wasn't his rubbish but was left there by my ex when he did my son's kitchen and bathroom last year.
Yes, I helped (a bit) ;)
tigger 17-02-2006, 03:31 PM That's fantastic news ILS. Glad it's worked out for you. :)
Thanks girls - it has been a very worrying week! I think I will celebrate with a few :wine: tonight :drinking:

The on Friday my colleague is back, so my work load reduces again. I cant wait for Friday to come.
Patsy 28-02-2006, 07:10 PM ........ you have a lunch date with an ex-ex-ex (etc) boyfriend on Thursday who you haven't seen for 20 years. I'm quite nervous, but also just a little excited. Does that make me a bad person?

I know he's got a better house than me, a great job and earns loads of money, but is he happy?
floopy 01-03-2006, 09:04 AM Are you?
That's all that matters in the end
Patsy 01-03-2006, 09:16 AM Indeed, Floople, indeed. And I am. I'm also very curious to see what he looks like now. We've spoken several times on the phone (which Mr P knows about, btw) and I fear we may run out of things to talk about (we were only 19 when we went out - think 80s perm), but it will be interesting and, more to the point, he's paying for lunch, which is nice.
Coastie 01-03-2006, 09:18 AM DYJLIW - You find a local pub that has already banned smoking, it's just at the end of your road...and...it has something fun on every night...Curry night tonight and they serve food til closing time...woo wooooooo...they have live bands on Sat nights, karaoke on Thurs...ladies night + cocktails on Fri...big screen sports (rugger sorted) and ooooo so lovely a landlord and lady! :w00t:

I think i would be nervous too. Its fun though to get a blast from the past.
That happened to me recently when an X boss (of about 8 years ago) emailed me out of the blue. He said he was coming to Suffolk and could we meet. I bottled it and said no .... but i wonder now if i will always be curious.
And one of the reasons i said no - well, i think we had a slight mutual admiration for one another which was never acted on. I didnt want him to see me now. Im 2 stone heavier, and not as young looking as i was then. I would rather him remember the old me ... and not what i have become.
Sad arent i :ninja:
DYJLIW - you get a lovely tealight holder as a late birthday present from your colleagues at work :D
Critique 01-03-2006, 09:28 PM DYJLIW .. you win the exercise machine you were bidding on at the low price of £10 (opening bid and no others). Picking it up tomorrow evening and then let the diet and fitness regime commence. Had to have a packet of Mini Jaffa Cakes tonight though, to celebrate. :bag:

I am not surprised going from what was shown on the news today! We still have no snow, not a glimmer but it is blinkin' freezing.
Bonsai 02-03-2006, 01:55 PM You have had the morning alone in the office - and things have been ticking along nicely. Then one of your bosses turns up ... and you fear he will dump tonnes of stuff on you .... but no, he has gone home :w00t:
So now i have the rest of the day in peace to plod along at my hearts content.
DYJLIW - you have now have 4 days off before you have to go back to work :D

Ooooh Fee, when we lived in Mobile, Alabama we rented a house for a year and not 2 weeks after we moved in the the MOST awful smell started coming from the driveway. Well, we had 2 palm/rubber something trees and it rotted from the inside out!! OMG. the neighbors complained and when the tree peeps came to cut it up they were getting sick from the stench!! It was mildly hysterical!:ninja:

Yep, it certainly does. At the moment I am so pleased I am convincing myself I can live with any amount of mess and disruption. I know, however, that I will be climbing the walls that are left when it's all happening.

Especially when a year ago he just didn't want to know anything about reading or writing, he's just come on so much this year.
But also you see a poem that his teacher said I wasn't really meant to see.
I think it must be for Mothers Day and it nearly brought a tear to my eye.:wub:

Andrea 19-03-2006, 02:15 PM DYJLIW you get an e-mail from your lecturer saying your re-done assignment is much more "focused".
For goodness sake, I don't want to know if it's more focused, I just want to know if it will pass.
At least I'm getting somewhere though.
And she had to get in about how the reference list was 'accurate', I swear that is all she read!:wallbash:

DYJLIW your eldest comes home with a letter saying he is one of only 40 in his year (8 forms) to be nominated for a school trip to the IoW in June, for his "excellent hard work and commitment to his school work". And it's his 13th birthday tomorrow. We have to pay, but how could we say no?

And i found one :w00t: Its a 4 star hotel, twin beds and the baths all have TV screens at the end of them :unsure: Its really quite swish and it only cost £79 for the room, so split between us its cheap.

I have worked here for 14 months now, and i have pigeon hole type things next to me with all my different paper, application forms etc .... But there was also loads of stuff the previous PA left behind. I thought they were left as they were important, so i didnt touch them.
But my boss and i have just had a massive sort out - and it looks fab (although bare). I also had about 4 boxes near my feet that cluttered the place up - but they have gone too.
Oh, and another DYJLIW hubby is home early tonight.

Mr.B never takes me anywhere (apart from the pub !!). Because he is driving all day throughout the week, on the weekends he likes to stay put. But tomorrow we are going on a day trip :w00t:
We are off to Southwold, and Aldeburgh. I have been to both before but not for at least a year and i cant wait. They both have really lovely antique shops, and gifty shops and i want to buy a few bits and bobs for the house.
We had a nice day today and went to spent the morning with Mr.B's parents - but then i had to spend a small fortune this afternoon as my Dyson hoover blew up on Saturday, so i went and replaced it and ended up spending £260 on a hepa filtered allergy Dyson. I tell you though, its blummin good and sucked the carpet up well and truly. It made me feel a right filthy heffer though when i saw what i sucked up from the carpet today :bag:

hmm, maybe I should investigate what this play is about. If there's poles involved I ain't going...........
