  • I am EH and thanks for the feedback re the freezer.

    Good news on the old car front- Mr.B has decided to go by train as new direct links are there- a saving of at least £150 a month, and no car tax or insurance.

    Scuttles off to find an appropriate Blackadder saying that encompasses how i feel..

    Relief is not the word. Oh and he apologised too :)

    Just a wee reminder to folks on fb not to mention this please- i know you won't, but i don't want family to know. TA :)
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Absolutely- he has even said can i do that thingy that Martin was on about once-
    I said- what thingy?
    He said- you know where they cut train fares..... Good grief:money::money:

    I think George aptly put the sentiment:

    George: I'm absolutely top-hole, sir, with an ying and yang and yippiedeedoo.

    Well minus the sir bit:):rotfl:

    Looks like things are changing for the better there Bob. Just hope the job situation pans out okay.
    I hope you told him how pleased you were, but not in Blackadder style.
    Blackadder: Well done, Baldrick! Im so pleased, Im going to give you a wage rise.
    Baldrick: Thank you very much, my lord.
    Blackadder: ...Well, perhaps not all year, but maybe something like a Christmas bonus.
    Blackadder: ...Well, perhaps not actual money, but something else like a box of chocolates.
    Blackadder: ...A chocolate.
    Blackadder: ...After Ive had a nibble of it myself.
