    :hello:

    LR is back in one piece although I've still got to put some stuff back in my computer cabinet. The settee didn't fit where we were going to put it though even after we'd moved all the furniture!:sad: So furniture has been moved around but settee is still in much the same place taking up most of the room!

    I have sorted out a bin bag of stuff for the charity shop though so that's a start.

    I've also decided that apart from some stickarounds for the kids' bedrooms and something for my grandparents - I've finished my Christmas shopping!:j

    Right I'm going to finish putting some stuff away and empty the contents of the WM into the TD.

    ChristmasShopper - that's lovely you've found your Dad's photo! Maybe your Gran's ring went missing so you could find that. Was the Gran with the ring your Dad's Mum or your Mum's Mum?




    Ooh! Now there's a thought. The gran with the ring was my Mum's mum. She couldn't stand my Dad. Perhaps even their things can't stand to be in the same house at the same time. :rotfl:

    After spending 5 hours on Thursday and 8 hours today dismantling my entire bedroom and searching for the ring, it still hasn't turned up. We have given up for today and will resume the search tomorrow.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    It seemed to me that the cold was because the chillers were turned up high (that type of dry air con cold rather than just cold). The cynic in me wonders if it's a big ploy. Mr T is turning up everything to hike up their electric bill so that when they install the wind turbines they've put planning permission in for, they can come across as being really green energy wise because they can show how their electricity bill has reduced!

    Funny that - I went in our new Tesco Metro today and it was really cold...even away from the chillers and freezers...I didn't buy anything!

    Lil_me - I understand what you are saying, but the vendor has 100% positive feedback and comments including where an item was bid for "by accident" and returned, and one that wasn't as asked for, but the problem was dealt with. Also paid via Paypal, so fingers crossed!

    GF likes the two shown in pale blue and pink, but there are also shades of Fuschia, Mint and Lime Green which, as she is a bit quirky and that's her favourite colour, she might pick that.

    We've just dropped them off at a pub restaurant (Castell y Bwlch) for a meal as they've been together for two years :love:. She's not 16 for 9 days, but I know they'll be safe there as the Landlord works for Police HQ and most of the clientele are on the force! :D

    Does anybody want a sarcastic (and tall) 15 YO?

    He just asked me something and my answer was 'I'm thinking'.
    'Steady on' he replied:rolleyes:
    I wonder where he gets it from:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    What I am thinking about is a takeaway...what (Indian defo though) and from where...

    ooh 65 posts and I'll hit 2000.

    Bet I could do it this weekend...
