    Morning everyone,
    Just a quick update, the kitchen is nearly finihed yay, the walls and ceiling are painted, the new lights are up, just waiting for the worktop, tiler and new doors to arrive, and I can get back to being the domestic god, that is sparky0107 :rolleyes:.

    Sue, the psychiatrist told me the tests were just to make sure I wasn't mad, then he put me into a round room and told me to stand in the corner :rotfl:

    littlechicken, hope you enjoyed Jordan, now it's time to knuckle down and get ready for your new job, you've got a team to knock into shape ;)

    reb & gettingbetter, there's definitely room for you two on the naughty step, but we're going to have to keep you seperate, as you cause too much disruption :D

    elsie, nice poem hun, I can just about string two sentences together never mind a full poem :rotfl:

    stunty, I told you the gang were getting feisty, and since you came online and shouted at them, they're getting no better, looks like they are getting used to having an authority figure around :D

    Hope you all had a great Easter break, catch you all later, take care & keep saving

    Hey Sparky - sounds like you've been very busy on the DIY front. When you've finished do u fancy a trip to London to sort my bathroom out? So far OH has managed to take it apart, but putting it back together may take some time.....
    No pennies in the pottie today again as another NSD. Poor pottie! I have still got my easter egg in one piece. will break into it after a successful couple of days in the new job ;0)

    Well done on the kitchen Sparky. After having a look at Littlechicken's kitchen, perhaps you can come on over and check my guttering. It's a tad leaky and gushes like a waterfall when it rains. Got a big ladder if you need it :)

    72p for me today. :o

    Have a good week guys. :T

    Morning all,

    I can't sleep, hence my post at this ridiculous hour.!:confused:

    Nothing in my pottie at all, I had another no spend day, which is good in some respects but not so good for pottie.

    No roadkill for me either, but Sparky you would be proud of my 3 year old grand daughter, she has been here this weekend and when she was out pushing her pram, with grandad in tow, she found 12p in roadkill.!!:T She is also a MSE, because she wouldn't share it either. It is sitting on our kitchen windowsill and it had better be there next time she visits or else.!!:eek: I might just sneak it in my pottie when/if she forgets about it.:D

    Sounds as if the girls are getting some DIY jobs lined up for you there Sparky, you may need to take on an assistant.....Stunty perhaps?

    Well, I'm gonna mosy over to the Nightowls board, and see whats happening,:cool:

    Oh dear Elsie - hope you managed to get to sleep this morning. Maybe it was all of those easter eggs giving you nightmares? lol

    Looks like Sparky's gonna be busy on the DIY front for a while so it will give someone else to gather up some roadkill.

    Hoping to get some pottie money today as it's my first day at work, so will buy lunch (not very MSE I know!)

    And then I'm off to see AC/DC tonight with hubby, so if he's lucky I might buy him a bevvie and get some coinage.

    Have a good day all. LCx
