    Morning all :D

    Feel like I'm gonna do someone damage today. I'm sat here, DH is on the xbox shooting someone/something and just feet away from the window, some darling neighbour's gardener is using a petrol strimmer. The noise and the smell are driving me maddddd :mad:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Skint_spice - aren't they just skinny jeans? Don't think I could bring myself to ask for some :)

    Nope they are leggings! and I think I'm [STRIKE]probably[/STRIKE] definitely too old for them! Sammy's DD is probably the right age for such things, how is DD1 doing Sammy? is she ok now?

    Bookie, glad you slept ok, you probably needed it after the last few weeks.

    I personally wouldn't bother with the extended warranty - it's just commission to the person selling it. If you think about it, that's going to cost you £780 over the 5 years and you can buy 32 inch LCD's for just under £300 now, and the big TV's for not much more. If it did go wrong, you'd be better off saving the £13 each month somewhere, getting the interest and then using the money to pay for something at the time.

    Why does he think you'll be burgled? Has something happened to someone he knows etc? This must be very hard for you :(

    Morning

    Carpy weather here today :( Another one of Bea's friends have said they can't come to her party..should have just selected 2 to take somewhere and sod the rest of them.

    Skint, what sort of straighteners are they that you are wanting to get rid of? Mine decided to give up this morning and I am currently sat donning a half a head straightened, half not look...attractive!

    I totally agree with you BB about ebay...unless you have new stuff to list its very rarely worth it anymore..fee's are so expensive its crazy!

    Wonder how Maz's packing, moving went this weekend
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Must now get dressed and spend a couple of hours in the shop 'sorting'!
    Loads to do and running out of time. :eek:

    Well he does come from Liverpool where Burglary is commonplace.....:confused: no he is just paranoid.....we do have a lot of high spec stuff...why if you are just scared someone will come and nick it.

    The tv cost £2,000 - yes I know its a lot but he saved for a good while for it..it couldn't be replaced easily (and would leave a big gap on the wall:rotfl:).

    I think I will take my chance and not take it out....have ripped up the DD form now anyway:rotfl:

    I thought Maz was moving next weekend.....

    DD1 is feeling much better now, still has a headache but has spent the last two days resting - the iron tablets seem to be doing the trick...
