    Yes indeed Woo - just not sure how long it takes to get to me after they have received DVD's but sure I can 'lend' myself the money from my wages if necessary!

    Please read no further if squemish!








    One nail off and gone - nail bed left

    Other nail hanging on by a thread, do I take it off or let it fall off in due course

    :eek: OMG, that's awful! How did you manage that? It must have been a collosal scrap with the hoover. :(

    The nail that is still hanging on: put it in place, plaster it in place and ring up NHS direct and ask them what to do. I'm not sure what to do in a case like that, but with the other one, protect it from knocking and the nail might grow back, and you can can get an acylic nail sculpted onto it in order to protect the delicate nail bed. Don't let it get knocked again in case it stops it from growing back (if it will).
    LOL even I can't manage to rip off nothing - but one day when Mr Kipling comes acallin' I could be bought!

    I didn't mean it like that ;): any businessperson should be able to at least take a cursory look at their books to make sure that anyone isn't ripping them off (you hear stories of the odd dodgy accountant from time to time). OH should be able to do that to protect his interests. Put it to him that way, and say 'Not that I would, but how do you know I'm not syphoning off money into some secret bank account somewhere, if you can't go over your own bookwork?'. It might make him think.

    Sorry about your foot - that sounds absolutely awful! :(

    Ouch I bet you swore lots!

    Housework is dangerous, clearly bad for your health and further attempts should be avoided at all costs!

    DH found £20in old jeans so we shared sausage and chips from chipper - not very MSE I know but I can't stand on foot and still feel abit yucky, however the Daim bar he bought me has helped considerably.

    Two bids on Ebay - wow a whole £1.48 but hey lets not knock it.

    From change from £20 I managed to close a bag of 2p's - so thats another £1 and 'hid' silver in my F me its almost Xmas pot. Bought bread and milk and still have £6 left - wow I am rich.

    lol took me a minute to work out of C was for chocolate or change and then I remembered who post was from.

    I just LOVE closing another bag of pennies - now I need to not use them and keep for Santa.

    Cant leave silver bags out as DH loots them frequently. Right now can't afford to save £1 but someday I will!
