    I remember. It's not the same from a plastic bottle.

    Odd............. but true. :confused:

    Grrr....some stupid lorry driver went into the side of OH on 4th December. We got our insurance through yes car insurance who are quite frankly appalling as are HSBC who are our underwriters....

    Drive assist are taking our courtesy car off us because they say we haven't reported the accident to our insurance co!!!!!! despite the fact that we have reported it and have even had a measly offer of a payout on the car....

    All yes car insurance are interested in is making us pursue a claim for non existent injuries.....

    Morning all

    Fermi - that looks delishious...am I taking it you made it yourself? ;);)

    DD - must be so hard for DS to understand why you're not talking....enjoy your drive.

    Sammy - If you need any advice on the insurance then shout, DH is an insurance compliance bod so knows it all inside out.

    Today DD1 has decided to buy herself a flat screen tv for her room - so will be going out to have a look around to see what's what on those....need to actually get dressed first though I suppose...

    Why is it that the 6 am alarm wakes us up every weekday morning but come the weekend, 5.30am and we're wide awake.....one of life's great mysterys I suppose.

    Hope you all have a fab day what ever you're doing..

    Morning all - sooo sleepy this morning but it is the weekend and the sun is shining - yeay!

    Today I will be making a half hearted effort at housework and then watching the racing. Will take DD out on her bike later to get rid of some excess energy (hers not mine!) and that is about the total of my wildly exciting life!

    Hope everyone is well - have a free hug from me. x x xx

    Oh Fermi you're evil, I've been craving bacon sarnies for weeks but been good and resisted!

    I'm going to finish checking the forums and then I WILL do housework, I say that every day and hardly ever do but I'm determined today. So no one talk to me until I've done some!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Sammy - Enjoy your day with Bunny.

    I have missed you lot, havent been able to even take a peek on here all week pretty much:o

    Today I will be mostly catching up on housework, shopping and visiting MIL..........I can hardly contain my joy:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
