oh Hypno I have plans to wreak my revenge for such dedication
Already told my two that when I babysit my grandchildren we will have a highly excitable time, plenty of sugar etc just before they get picked up.
At Christmas I shall be a very badly behaved grandmother, wearing a purple hat, drinking too much sherry etc.
Got it all sortedDC.

Totally irrelevant thought for the day. Am confused. For the last two years at Christmas you couldn't purchase Brazil Nuts in their shell due to some strange European directive re the shells being poisionous. Now you can ?DC.

Saving Holmes - I had an energy monitor courtesy of Southern Electric and it was the kick start I needed to switch it all off ! Fan oven was biggest culprit. Have made a few home cooking changes as a result
Penguin - I really am going to be a badly behaved pensioner! I work with the older genereationmoment and they do make me laugh, some of them are very Catherine Tate !
Well won £15 on BB this morning, I realise I can't withdraw until I'm up to £20, so I assume I deposit then withdraw ? Advice appreciated.
Bathroom on a go slow, always the way isn't it, they say 5 days work they mean 8. Ah well it will be worth it.DC.

Morning
Been awake since silly o'clock, figured no point lying in the dark, am on my second cop of tea, been browsing the boards and job hunting.
Was back at work yesterday and the usual chaos ensued, along with someone else poking their nose in trying to organise things. Took a step back and let them all stress out. Not paid enough to get involved with such situations. I hasten to add that's not the attitude I like to adopt - was brought up with a concience (sp?). Just confirms to me after a few days off nothings changed and I need to get out.
Today I'm hoping real progress will occur with bathroom, it's a pain all these dust sheets, bare floorboards, tools and cisterns lying around the place, house is just a total wreck at the moment. But it will be worth it.
Time to put positive hat on again, because if I let an inch (not gone metric yet) of negativity in it's a quick tumble into the trap.
Hey Ho !DC.
