    Thay were at work on the loo floor, when it rains it floods under the garage door and then into said loo (which is in garage not in office) three flippin expensive loo rolls.

    Note to self:

    In future, dont bother drying them out as they stink. Very badly. Replaced with Sainsbergs value rolls .......

    Have been very naughty spendy person.......:mad:

    I've bought Christmas presents (Aunt done, check!) bits and bobs for Ma and DansDad which takes skilful plotting and hiding as he does have a rooting/snaffling tendancy. Bought clothes I dont DO clothes. My goodness! 2xtops and a pair of jeans for £22.00 (included £15 off) other bits from peacocks £33.00 ....erm not good. Although the recent decrease in size means I do need em really....

    I put henna on my hair last week, that was hilarious! I will not describe what it looked like in the bowl when mixed up...Although lovely colour :D

    In my manic world, Dan has been very stroppy recently, I put it down to the grass going off now and he's hungry, despite the feed/haylage etc.... Now going up in the morning in the dark my goodness with a rather fetching headtorch on, poo hunting. Needless to say I hear rather than see the boys cantering off to the bottom part of the field snorting and farting as they go! At least Long Suffering Dawg is white so I can see him.

    OP's looking unlikely at the moment. Have paid another £50 off the credit card, so that should be cleared next month :j Willie on thebay and autotrader, not sold yet but will keep trying :o

  • Well another Christmas pressie bought. DansDad is into star gazing, last year I bought him a new telescope, this year I've bought hima rather posh watch from Kennedy Space centre. Hopefully he'll like it... Quite cheap once you convert $ to £ :D

    We've booked to go to Pizza hit with all our friends from work for DansDads birthday next month :D I have selected the 'Birthday Party' option with 'Cake'. Although I did suggest that they didnt stick 48 candles on!!! Could be a health and safety issue:D:eek:

    Willie not sold yet, Have put him in th'ebay twice, lots of watchers but no bids :( Will try one more time, then I may have to go to one of the buy any car .com people, bit of a pain though...

    I had a day off yesterday, declutted about 4 ton of weeds from my back garden, very satisfying. Couldnt hide it behind the lawn anymore as we'd managed to get the grass cut :)

    Off to see if any bids on Willie.....

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
