    Just spent 40mins lying in the bath it felt so good i didn't want to move!
    Hopefully when we get the shower that should cut down on the lazy bath lounging-scheduled date for B&Q is 17th aug is it just me or is that a ridilously long time to wait?
    Just submitted my gas & leccy meter readings as they were supposed to go down but haven't heard anything this should prompt them.
    Have quit stupid ciao.
