Mine does that too! But it is only 5 miles to the co-op from here. Don't they understand that the 10p they save on the bag of bread is lost because the petrol costs more.:mad:business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Hi Everyone,
As only started on Wed, ended up doing this a bit AFE, have had to forego some of Wed & Thurs (don't need to do Friday cos only got one room, ha) as the kitchen was badly needing done. So have done the kitchen, apart from some dishes but having a sit down just now, and have also done two loads of washing, in between going to the gym, supermarket, working! Phew I am knackered!
Have a nice weekend everyone, hope to complete Level 1's for Wed & Thurs, tomorrow x0 -

I've had feedback on my CV, so I MUST update it today and get another application or two in, as I heard on the grapevine yesterday that I'll definitely be seeing management consultants coming to annoy me and my team very soon... and quite frankly, if they think they can do the job better than me they're welcome to it... :mad:0 -
got on quite well, am going to carry on with another HHC starting soon and then that should do me. Kitchen is ok but I'll give it a proper go tomorrow when the roast is cooking. Waiting to hear from friend's DH as he offered me a lift to pick up my car which would save 2 buses and a walk. I've hoovered through most of the flat and given the bathroom a good clean.
