    Good Evening All

    Great to see you MF :wave:, hope that its good stuff keeping your busy - still even just an occasional bump is always welcome. And another man posting on the thread might keep encourage niddy and chippy to behave :think: :whistle:.

    Horace - when are you going to get to the hospital? - you do need to go, although I understand about the crappy weather keeping you at home. Fingers crossed that the weather picks up soon.

    Spoon - I have gone for the roasted red as per that picture - hope it looks as good in my room. In further kitchen news I have just ordered a new tap off ebay - at a fraction of the rrp and way cheaper than any I have seen in the shops :j.

    Also bought a new curtain rail today -not for the kitchen though (I do get easily distracted :o), this is for the front door in the hall and is badly needed. Hoping to 'supervise' this being fitted sometime over the weekend. If only I could find someone to actually do my painting whilst I supervise.

    Nargle - hope you have a good day visiting relatives, hope everyone else has a nice day tomorrow.

    Good night all, off for a quick dash between the raindrops to give the dog a quick run.

    Evening all
    Quick bump before I go to get some much-needed sleep:(
    Tixy - sounds good - happy painting tomorrow:) and even happier supervising of the curtain rail fitting:):)
    Horace - make sure you get to the hospital on Wednesday or more lectures will come your way:D - as Nargle says, we are good at nagging:)
    Nargle - happy visiting tomorrow. Hope chicckie manages to shut her beak and survive another day
    Chippy - hello - see you're behaving yourself now, unlike niddy:rotfl:

    Signing off now, see you all tomorrow

    Hi :wave:I'M BACK ONLINE & BUMPING & £400 down

    I finally had to give up on my laptop and go out and buy another - I know I could have bought it online and got cashback but, being Easter Weekend, I would not have got it till Wednesday and I could not wait - so a trip to Curry's resulted in my brand new super duper Compaq Laptop - much more RAM and bigger hard-drive so no excuses for not doing things now. It is funny having a V & 9 key though - I keep pressing them really hard as my old one had these keys missing courtesy of dog number 3 :laugh:

    I spent most of yesterday after getting it home, catching up on surveys, clicks, loading software, printer, etc so did not manage a bump - sorry - but Carol seems to be doing a good job :beer:

    Horace - do get yourself for your x-ray - I have a bad chest and it is so important to get that checked up :mad:

    Spoon & Tixy - all that talk of decorating is making me dizzy just thinking about it :T

    Niddy - TUT TUT - still at it I see :mad:

    Back later to check bumping - MUST get some eBaying done now to pay for this laptop :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Hi everyone
    Bit late reporting for bumping duties today, sorry:o. I started cleaning my kitchen at 11am - just finished now. It wasn't that bad, honestly:o, but I found other things to do as well.

    Off to try to find someone helpful on the tecchie board to sort my email out for me:mad::mad: - driving me crazy.

    New laptop sounds good, 3Dogs, fingers crossed ebaying pays off.
    And, yes, Carol did a great job yesterday :A

    Niddy, I see you've just snuck in before me - are you going to behave yourself today?

    Horace - hope you're OK today. Are you going to get your x-ray next week? We're all worried about you, this has been going on too long now:(

    Tixy - hope the painting is going OK, did you manage to get someone to "volunteer" to do the painting

    Off to tecchie board, see you all later x
