    Extras
    1. write down 5 things YOU are good at!! (A little self appreciation goes a long way!)


    Burn wedding dvds x 10

    coffing
    snizzing
    wetting tissues
    aching
    shivering:rolleyes:

    :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.

    Flower 48% ouch:mad::o Hope the PADs are [STRIKE]pi$$ing them off[/STRIKE] making a difference!

  • I think it was way back in October when I noticed that I had lost my grandmother's eternity ring. The following weekend Mr CS and I completely emptied our bedroom in the search for it. When we didn't find it I was convinced that it was lost forever.
    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. :D
    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

    What a fantastic OH you have CS - fantastic news too, I am really pleased for you... :T :T

    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)

    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?

    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!
