    Right, decorum has been restored..

    rosep - thanks for your reply. Interesting you are told not to park in residential streets. It doesn't stop the ones attending here.

    Have done breakfast, put the DW on and my bedding has just about finished washing so that's going out on the line in a mo.

    Huston-kw – don’t let them get you down, it would be a boring world if we were all the same. Smile sweetly and say something like ‘well that’s your opinion and I appreciate your comments but on this occasion I don’t believe you are right’ – that will shut them up!
    Soappie – how fantastic! Must be you negotiating skills that did it! Well done you!!
    Lil-me – you need to sleep or you’ll burn out, take care of yourself
    Got to work and looked in my diary and I have dentists this aft – boo hoo! Not sure if it’s with the dentist or the hygienist. My sister has told of the time the hygienist killed her and when she left had blood running down her throat all the way back to work – fab just what I needed as we go to the same practice!

    Soappie :D that is fab news!

    Well that was one of those weird moments where I click post and the door bell goes. Surveyor been and gone, my dog was a right pest, he doesn't usually do this but I don't think he liked him. He barked and tried to jump up at him, barking especially is not him. Anyway was all over fairly quickly so pleased it's done!

    Just remembered we need to collect the caravan from repair this afternoon, think I will have to get DP up soon. Must remember to bring the walking boots back out of it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I know that's the case at Twickenham, but not sure what the arrangements are for parking at Southampton.

    I'm completely pooped! I've mucked out the inside of the car, but need to go out later and do the boot. I've come in for a drink and something to eat. It was soooo messy in there, I really need to make sure it doesn't get so bad again. I need to ask DH to bring an extension lead home so we can hoover the car, or else take it to a car wash place so that they can hoover it.
