I would say fee nil as well I think ... Although sometimes I do say fennel ... Think it depends on how the last bit goes
I just must be the only person who talks proper then...

I'm sure you have the "beautiful present" gift-wrapping gene. Mine look like they've been wrapped by a man... :whistle:"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Nope, just so long as it's difficult to get into. If powertools are required, then you'll be a keeper... "Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Rant Alert
Today has been pants really, wind (weather type) related nonsense to start with then I have managed to hurt my foot and now my hand. Is that three? Can I get up to a better day tomorrow? Nothing serious and I know folk go through worse but just rubbish and no shoulder to cry on 
I hate being single at this time of year.
Anyhow on the positive side I've spent nothing, been to the gym, caught up with the ironing and I've made the icecream as requested by mummy dearest
off to see my folks and perhaps my bro if he's home already, hopefully they will cheer me up. If not I think there's a lot of Victoria Wood on tv tonight so that might do the job. Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
