    Didn't finish till 8 o'clock, last night, H. By the time I got home, had some tea, I was too 'cream crackered' to do anything other than sleep. :o:o
    I, too was in bed at 7.00 this morning. ;)

    Hopefully not working today - have to take my 'new' car in for MOT (being paid for by the garage) this afternoon.

    I am surrounded by piles of papers and carp - I am clearing out my office as I want to move things around to fit in an extra set of much needed shelving. The shelving isnt posh - just cheapo galvanised ones from focus diy but they do the trick and are quite trendy:rotfl:

    Methinks that I need to put the vacuum round too as there is dust everwhere:eek:

    Afternoon All

    You see this O that represents the grindstone

    and the > - that represents my nose (although my nose is much more attractive than that ;))

    anyway

    Living out of suitcase is better than living out of a cardboard box under a bridge:eek::rotfl:

    Just had to laugh - a call came in on landline..

    H: hello..hello...is anybody going to bother answering me?

    Eejit: uhm hello could I speak to Mr & Mrs Smith?

    H: nobody of that name here, you've got the wrong number.

    Eejit: is that the lady of the house?

    H: no, I am a burglar

    Eejit: Oh, bye then

    Well he asked a silly question so he got a silly answer - anyway the police haven't turned up yet to investigate a burglary:rotfl: If they do turn up then I shall say I received a nuisance call:rotfl:

    PS..Numpty, do you travel by National Express coaches and if so do you get your ticket at the coachstation?
