    A free electricity usage monitor from when I changed leccy companies, it arrived this morning.
    I plugged in the George Formby grill for my bacon and the usage nearly doubled :eek:

    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.
  • I don't think they would have told us until after the event if his mother and sister hadn't changed their travel plans. They were due to come down to stay for the weekend on the Saturday and we were invited up for wine and nibbles in the evening. They changed to say they were arriving on the Friday so it left them no choice really but to come clean.

  • Morning,

    I'm waiting for the estate agents to call about the flat and the garage to call about my car's MOT so I'm pretty much attached to my phone today. I suspect with the stress, I certainly won't be having elfen's problem today. :rotfl: (sorry about the tmi) Anyway, I'd better get a shower soon. I'll just have to take the phone into the bathroom with me.
