It did help, as he was better the second time around. See comment about car above though. You can't keep hitting him on the carburettor to make him go forever. Eventually, it has to go...skint_spice wrote: »mmm...he does need a new carpet:D...

But if you have a classic you may prefer to look after it...They may be the ones you see but don't look at.

suppose, just emotionally drained right now.Deep pile...deeeep pile...
Need to paint it first (room not carpet:p), did see some quidco message about carpet right and bargainous prices...Oh? Why's that?

That's because we are having everyone's rain - it's awful!That's the best direction for it.

If I have a classic, it'll be a reliable one. Porsche 911 - the old style. The component that fails and stops the car from working is usually the idiot in the driver's seat...skint_spice wrote: »are you calling me shallow:rotfl::rotfl:?
Would I do something like that? :A

So where was I?? I feel I must declare the postman arriving with another ebay bargain -gorgeous dress for £8 inc postage
that would have been ok if the eating machine that is my DS didn't need new clothes, seems pitiful in comparison! Hopefully that will be him for six months or so though, mind you he needs a new ghillie shirt for xmas and will need new boots too.
Still a bit down but no weeping so that's not so bad. Flat looking awful after all the work that was done so need to look for wallpaper, carpet etc... must use the opportunity to get rid of some stuff too.
Have done surveys and I'm attempting to enter a few comps each day too.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

This is a ghillie suit.
The only similarity with the shirt is that I would only wear either for a bet...skint_spice wrote: »nope, I miss him:(
Aww... :grouphug:
It will get better, and by the you'll have been to the gym so much you'll be Washboard Spice...skint_spice wrote: »not so much these days, lots of vouchers and money...
