    But they surely would not expect you to risk life & limb bookie.
    Had a very hairy drive home from work earlier today & that was on a major moterway.

    Beanie, I'm sure that'd happen to me! I'm scared the wall will come down (which given the state of repair of these houses is a real possibility!).

    Bookie, if you don't think you can get there and back safely then don't go. I'm sure they'd rather you were safe and sound than risking an accident just for a meal.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Is this the point in the conversation where I tell you that the last time I used a drill I drilled through an electric cable and nearly blew meself up!

    Instead I just blew the electrics and it took an electrician two days to sort it out..:rotfl:

    Hello :wave:

    Got some more work done on my Uni assignment today, the introduction is pretty much done, I've got the bare bones of the main body and the points that I want to include in the conclusion so I feel like I'm well on my way now.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Evening :D

    Had a hilarious trip to Lidl, think bus, 2cms of snow and then rain - mmmm slush ;) and then they only had goose breast (doh!) so I settled for a duckling instead and it has giblets to make gravy with mmmm

    Some crazy women accused me of moving her shopping - honestly people are getting so stressed at the moment - chill! Just laughed at her in the end because she was being sooo cheeky which wound her up some more :D

    I dont do DIY - its why I rent - tried to change the fuse in the hoover a while back and then none of us could screw the plug back together hahahah!

    Bookie - can one of them pick you up perchance?? Just a thought!
