G&B - good luck with study. (I really need to start thinking about whether I want to do a course next year)

You should definately do one as long as its not too expensive, its so rewarding, really glad i eventually went back.

I really need to get my budget under control again! I cant remember who posted the idea of having £10 in your purse for the week, have decided to steal the idea:D Even put it in a little coin purse so i dont have any of my cards with me either:o

Gryfon - I put a dry hand towel in with damp towels as it reduces the time by absorbing some of the water. Think I'll use my plug thing to see how much mine uses.

Must try that next time! My washer/drier is on its last legs and is doing my head in. The washer stops mid cycle now for some reason so i have to manually turn it round til it starts again. Unfortunately its now out of its 5 year warranty/service plan so would not be worth getting it repaired, will wait til after xmas, hope it can limp along that far. It has been nothing but a pain in the bum since we got it, have lost count of the number of repairs done on it.

Got the washing in, partly dry but still needed hanging up round the radiators. Such a cold wind but at least it smells fresher.

Blinds fitted in bathroom and toilet today so it looks properly finished now. Ordered the one for the front bedroom so that will be more money to find in a couple of weeks time.

Ok I need to make tea, I have some left over chicken, milk dated the 22nd so needs using in food as it's a bit too creamy for my coffee and various other bits. But I really need to use the milk! Any ideas?

Getting through the kitchen very slowly!

damn it you ladies can talk.................

anyway this week is SOOO busy for our house...........the church im in are putting on two shows this week on thur and fri in the local theatre...We have jimmy cricket comming one day and some mime artists the next anyway..we are also doing plays and songs etc etc etc..and DD1 and myself are involved in them so...wed thur and fri is just taken up with all that...

This morning Iwas discharged from hospital (outpatients) after smashing my knee back in jULY...it has healed okay but my leg is not straight so I will walk with a limp for the rest of my life and it is agony at the moment as it is freezing....(can actually see snow on the mountians out the back window)..

I was meant to have second interview today but they moved it to tomorrow morning..so the one day this week we had free is now not free....

I am about to start flying ( like i really feel like it) but the kitchen just seems to be never ending....I dont mind piles of laundry and homework or even the kids drawing on paper all over the floor ( we have a breakfast / study area attached ) its the iorning board being used as a constant work surface the high chair being used as storage for drying laundry etc etc etc that gets me down.......never mind it could be worse.........................Ill let you know how..............

anayway hello all hugs to all

The big Georgian ones here with the proper leaded glass are £5-£7 a house.. depending on area (ie income) and number of windows.

I pay £11 once a month & live in a bungalow:mad:

Flip, that's cheap! In the last place we lived in a man came round to give me a quote - £15:eek: It was a bungalow! I didn't bother as I could reach all the windows myself.
