    Spud, hope your daughter's ok. Have you tried freegle for a new rug, even if it's not the right colour it'll do for a little while till you can get a new one.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    We had to learn a poem a week when I was at school. Sadly I still know a lot of them!

    Thankfully I can't remember *any* of them...

    Besides - pop is the poetry of the new age...

    Health and safety spud - you only get one chance to break your neck...

    I know. I really regret ever putting down the tiles. One day I'll get our a hammer and chisel and get rid :rolleyes:

    You can put whatever you want over the top if you need to - tiles are pretty solid in and of themselves.

    Thanks Ames. Looking at her knees, one is very swollen and bruising, the other not too bad. I'll see how she is in the morning :o

    I've never heard of freegle :confused:

    Thank you so much Luc, that's just what I needed, but I couldn't seem to get my head around it. I think I'll save around £75 to start with, then increase it when I'm debt free.

    Sorry I went offline, ex came and gave me back £20 he owed me. I don't think I'll need it this month so it's gone into Henry (the giant piggy bank).

    Back to the baileys now...

    No problem. Was just kidding. I know you read back. Glad to help.;) I worked it out on calender months as an example so you probably have a bit of leeway ;)

    It is what freecycle turned into after the nominal head of freecycle decided he operated best as a control freak. All the freecycle groups gave him the finger (with instructions to "swivel") and became freegle...

    I know but we did the kitchen, and didnt get round to the utility room. So we either lay the foor tiles in there, then cover, or dig up the ones in the kitchen :rolleyes:
