coffing
snizzing
wetting tissues

:eek:thought you had fallen out with DH then I read again and understood...
have managed to get washing in and ironed a maidenful. All dry but the effort it took...and I like ironing:rolleyes:
am clearly really not well and I MUST get petrol TODAY
am doing/resting.
I have not got energy to phone about messed up balance transfer - or the voice - so that will have to wait. At least I had the sense to make payments in Jan (calculated BT after that BUT I will have to make payments again in Feb and to the 'new' card too to protect myself...
Good job water rats (not a typo) and council tax is paid for the year...cos that's what I can use to make double payments;)
When I did phone on the 22nd and complained they said they would cover the cost of interest - too right they will - and I'll have some on top for the flippin phone calls too...and they can extend the term of the offer too - by two months at then moment and counting - I didn't NEED to give them my business - I could have BT'd elsewhere.

Mr CS, howerever, is much more intuitive than I am. He was convinced that it was still in the house somewhere.
Every weekend he has methodically cleared out a drawer or a cupboard with the conviction that it would turn up. And today it did.
It was in a drawer full of old photos in the living room.
I am absolutely amazed. There is no way I would have ever put it in that drawer. I have no clue how it got there. But I am soooo happy he has found it. :j

You cunning minx! :cool: It wasn't lost at all!
It was a devious plan to get Mr. CS to do the decluttering.

Valli - progress so far pix just for you
Rach - anytime you're in the area, I'll make sure Gordon is available!
ChrisShop- brilliant - where is the drawer in relation to the german homework that suddenly appeared?
From the doorway (all the little white things are the spacers)
From the NW corner:
From the SE corner

Gosh Soappie - and you a girl too - in one day THAT is astounding! Well done!
Who needs men?
Looks like you're almost done - will you grout tonight too?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Thanks Valli
Fortunately, the glue I got is fast drying which has helped - meant I could get DS to help with moving the table onto the bit I did first so I could do the rest. (See, blokes do have their uses! :rotfl:)
I doubt I'll have the energy to grout tonight. I do want to try and get the fiddly cutting bit done though with a view to grouting in the morning. I am so glad I have Monday off!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
