What do you consider nice?skint_spice wrote: »:rotfl::rotfl:can we wait a couple of years for that? I promise I'll still have the jacket!
Why wait a few years? It could produce such comic classics like: "Oh my God! Trampoline!" :rotfl:

You need to get DS out there running attached to a tyre. He'll have your tree up in no-time. This does not mean "run him down" though...skint_spice wrote: »At the beginning of the gifts I'm fab, two hours in and I really don't care as long as it's hiding the gift:(:rotfl:...

Didn't see one roll by but pal's damaged her neighbours car - oops!
Sorry, meant to reply to the question about damage to mine - the flat is fine but the shed now needs refelting, could have been worse....
This week has been very draining with work and other stuff, have decided it's best not to stay in touch with ex as the daily contact just made me miss him more
. New year coming up, fresh start etc....
Off now for a few days, working some of next week but not the whole week so now christmas is sorted I'm looking forward to a rest, I will not book a holiday, I will not book... ok, maybe I might do:rotfl::rotfl:... Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
