    well it must be that time of year cause our freezer has offically died, going to cost 70 - 90 squid so wondering if we can claim on the buildings and contents insurance, Anyone clued up on these matters?
  • Hugs julie thats a real pain - have you lost much food or can you give it to family to keep until you get another one?

    Oooooh you naughty thing lil_me but sounds like fun and hopefully in the long run will save you money!

    Not for the freezer but you maybe able to claim for the food in the freezer if you have that covered in your policy - its often an add-on section.

    2 in one day thats not so good - think I better go check mine after defrosting it today!

    Wilf55 –brilliant news on the golfing – you deserve to be proud! I hope he does succeed – keep us posted! Congrats on the baby – what flavour is she/he? Hope baby does well and stepdaughter too.

    Polka if you make it to Sheffield you could join our meet! Whereabouts in Steel City are they?

    AnWsMum half term for me then, too…

    That’s how you work so hard then Pigpen reminds me of how we used to ‘suggest’ to the bosses on the Refinery that we were being asked too much of. (Insert extra coarse words as appropriate!) And I’ll stick a brush up my @r$e so I can sweep up as I go…peepants.gif

    LOL Greenbee complaining about Tuesday’s list before you have got home! – I can’t access the thread at work it’s blocked…sadly it occurs to me that you will realise that I have tried.

    I can't remember if I have posted a Macaw but I am going to stick with the hand and foot cream unitl it becomes a habit...

    Some G1t near here scared the !!!!!! out of me last night ...well early this morning if I am honest - letting off bl00dy FIREWORKS at gone midnight...I ask you! I thought it was another earthquake (cos I have forgotten what feeling the earth move is like...:rotfl: ) dogs howling and barking ...it was like Armageddon.

    You can usually claim for the contents - that'd be smoked salmon...lobster...all the party gateaux you have bought in for xmas...scampi...:rotfl:

    Michelle is in South Yorkshire, not far from Meadowhell but we won't hold that against her :p can't think of anyone else at the mo. Perhaps we could organise something for half term, A & W are off w/c 27/10 or with enough notice to arrange childcare I could do an evening :)


    Oh, Oh me too, please. I don't live there myself but the family lives not far from Kaat. I could go stay over with someone (depending when you decide)

    Evening all,

    Was thinking of doing some work at home tonight, but by the time I’d got on the train I’d changed my mind! Work was ok though I didn’t get half what I needed doing done, still, there’s always tomorrow though we’re interviewing in the aft for an admin assistant – only one day a week but it will help loads!
    I left a bit early and caught an earlier train – makes such a difference as much quieter so an outside chance of getting a seat and I got home at 6 not 6.30 :) Quick dinner and then I flew round as much of the kitchen as I had chance for before watching inspector Lynley – well, giving it half my attention as I write!

    Toots
    – don’t you be doing too much!

    greenbee - Know exactly what you mean greenbee, i was still there then too! Though I must admit to sneaking on here today at work!

    Julie –
    did you get a fridge?

    Valli –
    are you primary or secondary school? I used to write occasionally for assemblies.org.uk and used to find a lot of stuff on there…if it’s primary you might find some of mine!
