    OK, normal(ish) good humour is restored :o. DD has left home & DS is at uni - both home for weekend - and OH is only here at weekends. So, by the time I posted calm had returned :D. And working from home today so that helps.

    Hmmmm........ there is no leak from the bath :confused:. But brown stain on ceiling def. looks like water :think:. All I can think of is that a lot of water escapred when he was changing taps - but that seems unlikely, plus it was a few months ago & either stain has just appeared, or I've not rolled my eyes to heaven since :rolleyes:. Which is unlikely ;). Will bung some damp cover paint on it & see what happens.

    Good humour officially restored :D

    Just been on quidco - my £120 query which was resolved months ago has been received, as has another £20, and my A&L £50 is now tracked (was showing as £0). So, £140 to the mortgage when that is received :T.

    I went on to see if ink-cartridge were on there - currently no cash back for them. I've just ordered an ink cartridge and have taken a chance and ordered a refill. My only previous experience of this was poor, however there is 20ml for the price of 11ml on original cartridge, so thought I'd take a chance. Got a 10% discount - guessed the discount code, however I could have got 10% off anyway if I'd phoned as I've used them before. They were excellent (next day delivery) so here's hoping for the same.

    OD challenge not going very well.... I can officially report that the streets of London are not paved with gold, silver or even bronze....... :mad:

    On the other hand M&S do a nice line in red coats :o. Oops :rotfl:

    Picked up some mystery shops which will keep me out of mischief for the next 2 weekends, but should net me around £170 (as long as the original dates are correct - shop period dates on allocation are shorter - may have to lose around £70 of it).
