    I need some help if possible - does anybody know a good website for buying ready made curtains?
    I need curtains for the lounge and its going to cost an arm and 2 legs to get them made (funny size) and will take 4-6 weeks! I will be scouring ebay but just wondered if anybody had bought online.

    How did you wangle that? I thought your new boss wanted you in the office whilst he was on holiday?

    What's the news from the people who were going to call you this morning?
    Not MY new boss... my team's new boss... and yes he did, so he's not too happy with our boss!

    Feedback is good - meeting tomorrow... need to keep quiet in case work find out!!!
    How long for, is your garden big;)
    Garden is too big for me to control... but i won't tame it by the end of this month!
    I am really thick I know but I havent come across the term 'gardening leave' before greenbee -if you have lost your job why is it good news????

    I'm still employed but not expected to go in or do much.... its good news as they're paying me to leave!!!

    Do you have a link to the American site so I can see what they are like?
    Also, glad you're not feeling as bad now rosepink.
    sorry, I don't have a link as I've never been on there, but have heard it's quite strict.

    Hugs GTX that sounds like major stuff happening to your back, hope you are ok. I’ve got your email, thanks, I will reply later

    Carlsberrgal big hugs, money worries are horrible

    Zoe, oooh get you! On TV with Martin! WTG!

    FFP, so nice to see you back!

    Merlin how nice the puddle duck is back in the wild, well done you! Is she called Jemima?

    Greenbee glad you are on gardening leave. Not entirely sure what this is, but I know it involves having time off, so yay for you!

    Triker, I’m so pleased you are feeling better. Make sure you still take care of yourself and don’t overdo things, but I’m really happy for you

    Done no flying still, sorry. Will do something tomorrow I should think. I could kill for some chocolate right now, but don't have any. Spose that's good from a weight loss point of view. If I still want some tomorrow I might cave in.

    Triker - So pleased to hear you are feeling better, but PLEASE conserve your energy, and use it for doing nice things with your family.

    I was thinking about a lie-in tomorrow to celebrate... but have realised that I have a 7am gym appointment :rolleyes:
