    Hi Cat, how have you been?

    I'm working today which is annoying because my laptop is being returned and there's no-one at home to get it past 10.15am!

    Morning all :)
    I've just had hubby on the phone talking a mile a minute about plans lol. Basically we haven't needed to do DMP as he is on track with bonuses and we are getting it cleared that way, what I thought was a trust deed isn't, it's a DMP through a fee paying company (I've got him to send cancellation now) and we have a PPI claim going through which could hopefully blow most of the DMP out of the water :D:D happy days :D . We went directly to the loan company and they have agreed payments etc. Wish we had done it sooner.

    Weather not too bad. What about the volcanic ash cloud though causing havoc?!

    Gemmz - have been... up and down (more down than I like and certainly more down that up)

    Claire - My house is covered in fine woodshavings - had fire doors fitted downstairs Monday and yesterday and although they look good, I'm not looking forward to the next phase of works in 2011 (bedroom doors replaced, bathroom updated, bedroom gutted, replasterd, decorating and furnishing & new fitted wardrobes. Saying that, it's better than the final phase 2012 which will be kitchen renovation and then the living room (window extended and converted to french doors, existing door bricked up, replaster ceiling and walls, decorate and recarpet :eek: i just know that amount of remodelling will cause so much dust that I'll hate it!
