    Fingers crossed for your DH with this one, Budgie. Make sure you are around to guide him and don't let him be tempted if it means parting with hard cash - you know how sensible you are ...

    Night all

    On the job front I have gone back and edited my post as this guy has rang Mr BB and said that it is not a franchise? He is coming to our home tomorrow to discuss this job? So I am hoping it is ok?

    I shall let you know?

    I'll keep my fingers crossed, honey :)

    Morning all,

    Won't be making my target this month as I had a couple of drinks last night, I'm most p!ssed off cos I won't get a jumpy from YM now :( had a crap night (not justifying it, I did have a crap night), got home with no beer and went specifically to get it.

    RA, what you said about the HP, well I couldn't hear anything except the devil, didn't even give myself time to focus :(

    Ah well, only had a couple so not really suffering today, gotta go to work to speak to you all later.

    Budgie, I hope everything goes okay today, don't rush into anything, do as much research as poss xx

    Morning
    Great nights sleep 13/30.
    The mythical machinery [STRIKE]god[/STRIKE] pest lived in my house for two years, everything from the fridge, the car, the boiler, dishwasher, washing machine and beyond broke. Everything !

    I'm sorry he's paid you a visit YM. I'm sure it's temporary. I tried shaking out of date manufacturers warranties at him to no avail.

    ETA: Jo, so we both had our blip. No more...

    Morning everyone,
    just to say I managed 1 AFD on Saturday. Sunday was very low, just a glass to toast the birthday girl and yesterday was doing really well until after 10pm when I decided to drink 2 cans.

    So at least I'm off the starting block for September. 1/12 for me please YM.

    Hugs to Jo, and anyone else who needs them.
