    Opinion, what do you think my chances are of being refunded some money from dinner last night? It was supposed to be 2 mains for 1 if you had 2 courses and we were charged full price, I'm going to question it cos it was £18 too much!
    If you have the receipt I should think you will get a refund, I can't see why not. It's probably just a mistake
    In next post I’ll tell you about DD1 painting bedroom, but will have to calm down first!!!! :eek::eek:LOL
    Oooh tell us all! Hope you can cool down soon, it sounds really hot where you are

    Soappie hope your knees are better soon

    Hugs Fedup

    Penpen, sounds painful, hope your bites go down soon

    Morning everyone! I've started the WM, and really should go into the village this morning, which I'm so not looking forward to.

    I'm still aiming for level 1's for all rooms, but if I get that, will start on level 2's.

    ETA: Hugs Bevan and DH

    My estimate of 10 wasn't so very far off then :p.. and no doubt you added a few bits to that mountain as you filled the machines.

    FFP, once you have gone you will have a great time I'm sure. How's it going with the no smoking?

    Going to strip the bed before I leave so that I can't get out of doing it! LOL!

    I think you were spot on. If you take away the clothes we had been wearing since the pic and towels it would have been 10 loads. I'm just about to go put it on again. I'll do all the beds today and I really must iron the clothes for going away. It's that horrid muggy way here where you can't get a breath with it would thunder storm. Thought it might have been better today after the rain last night but it's not.

    ETA Rose I'm still on the fags as life isn't being too kind at the moment.
