You're right there - probably more chance of winning the lottery than selling our houses...

Enjoy your chucky egg.

See - Nicky won - the odds must be in our favour, the only one to play, actually won something. Don't spend it all at once though.

Let's hope it is the start of our luck!

Not yet. I am getting cross now. I will ask the seller where it is if it doesn't arrive tomorrow.

well done on winning nicky!!

and all you others: well, you've 'won' the pound you didn't spend


kids were up at 6am ... as predicted
but at least they'll go to bed an hour earlier tonight


i've decided to be very spontanous (sp?) and go to a BE meetup in Andover!
it's only 1 hour away and they've got an indoor playarea - so nothing to loose really
i hope i won't have to divide myself and run after the monsters all the time

hey hayles! you are everywhere
are you selling too


but it's nice to know i am not the only sad one on here and chat on a saturday evening / sunday morning online

Morning Mozzy - you're not alone! We are all saddos.

I'm out to a meet in half an hour too. Shame Beth and SparkyW can't make it though. Have a good time at your meet.

Hayles has been on this thread a long time bless her - she completed last week but joined in about July.

The annoying thihng is, it will cost us more for our flights as we can't book much in advance. sigh.

Dropped the price of our rental flat today as no viewings for 2 weeks...

just wish SOMETHING would happen. We have been trying to get a visa / sell our house for a year now.
I've heard a lot of people opening a Nationwide account. I don't know much about it, I have to say. Are there lots of pros for opening an account with them?

At least your flights will only be one way.

I'm sure things will pick up soon for you, FA.

Well, after saying I was going to get completely ratarsed - It didn't quite work out that way. I fell asleep after 3 G&T's and woke up at 12.30am (or should that be 1.30am).

The kids and OH have gone to the lake and the park on their bikes. So that means I have the whole of the morning to myself. I shall heading for the shower in just a minute then I shall spending the rest of the time trying to straighten my hair.

[QUOTE=Fly Away;6131062]Morning all,



Thanks hun. Don't panic about us crashing on your floor. Airport would be great though - whoever gets there first will meet the other one. (I get a good deal here I think!) Well you are more than welcome to stay for a few days if need be, there are only 3 of you so I think its me that would get the good deal, I have 3 kids remember



am a dirty stop up at the weekend. Although, I went to bed early last night as the clocks change and had to be up this morning for the Welsh Meet. Enjoy the meet, there is an Essex meet today but im not going, dont really know any of them, and promised to take Dad out for dinner.

offtooz - we opened the nationwide account, because you have a current and an e saver account linked and can instantly transfer money over etc, the biggest bonus is that you can use your debit card in Oz for no charge

Hi Lau, its not too bad really, the only issue I have is with my sisters OH - he is a complete tit. But apart from that its okay, struggling a bit for Dh and I to get time to talk about anything in peace but thats to be expected.

Also I was hoping I would have less to do on a day to day basis with more adults to perform tasks but it seems as I am the only 'Mum' in the house I now have 6 adults and 3 kids to cook, clean and wash for.:curse:

Afternoon all,

Back from the meet.

Thanks O2O. I hope so too.

YAY. I never win a bean.

Nor me - I've had 2 premium bonds since I was born and never won a penny on them...

Have fun at your meet FA and Mozzy. How's the plans for the Nationwide meet going, anyone know?

Thanks O2O. I had a good time! I'm up for a national meet, but I think the logistics are a bit of a nightmare...

Well, after saying I was going to get completely ratarsed - It didn't quite work out that way. I fell asleep after 3 G&T's and woke up at 12.30am (or should that be 1.30am.

LOL, you're a cheap date!

Thanks hun. I think waiting for us with a bottle of wine is all that will be needed. We may even fly to Sydney, stay with rellies for a week and then drive to Adelaide and make it a holiday. If we get there before you we will hopefully have space for 5 more.

Enjoy the meet, there is an Essex meet today but im not going, dont really know any of them, and promised to take Dad out for dinner.
Hope you had a good meal with your Dad.

Doesn't sound like fun - I hope you get some free babysitting from your Sis and Dad at least. Maybe ask if they could babysit one night a week so you and OH can have a few hours to plan things together. (You don't even have to leave the house.)

Evening all - Sorry had to go off to a netball match today just after I posted.

Am still trying what luxury to spend my winnings on but there are so many options!

Hope all the meets went well, would really love to go to one.
