 just had some good news - Eon have just given me £152 back which was a gas overpayment:j:j:j They doubled my payments towards the end of last year but we carried on paying it as I didn't want to worry about using the heating in the winter. This is a real boost to us!:T

            I know you weren't talking to me Reverbe, I hope no-one minds, but I'll just butt in to say that this will be the last one! I think it's definitely the right decision, it's had it's day.

            Morning All
 Well so much for feeling sleepy and floppy on Diazapam (sp), woke up at 5 this morning bright eyed and bushing tailed. (symptoms easing and not had to take anything yet this morning but only whispering it) Fingers, toes and anything else I can find crossed.
 We ordered 3 new radiators, and went to fit one of them this morning to find that DH had measured the wrong size, he does not like mickey mouse measurements, he is fine in feet and inches. Anyway rang the Plumb Centre who have been really good, and the best prices I found by far, for their own make which is I understand made by Myson, and they agreed to swop it just for the difference between the one 100mm wider, so he has nipped to swop it now.
 Lounge looking reasonable now, found some curtains and they will be hung by the end of today so will updated FB then.
 JackieG - sorry to hear of your fall, think a call to one of those no fee claims could be in order, not that I agree with them, but at least may make them sit up.
 Special ((hugs)) today please for Jayward her pain is very bad she is having to stay in bed, some patches they gave her do not agree, and she is waiting for the GP. The GP's secretary booked her an appointment with the wrong person Pain Management Dr, who she is already seeing one, instead of Orthapaedic Consultant. Found out 2 weeks ago, and they haven't got her a appointment yet. I am furious on her behalf, but she is too weak to fight atm.
 :grouphug: Cranky - I know it would have been Paul's birthday today, as you said both your birthdays and your WA, all at roughly the same time don't mean they hit you several times, but sure it is a very sad time for you :grouphug:
 Diva, Pen-Pin, Ladygrim and anyone else not 100% Big HUGS to you all
 Decided to miss this weekend, and get all sorted, so it will be the long one next weekend.
 Congrats on the Gas Refund Taplady
 Take care - DG

            Morning :wave: ... just anyway 
 I've only just managed to get on cos internet connection is rubbish atm
 So far this morning I've been to the vets and eaten lots of food that is bad for me but good for the soul I'm getting treated to lunch and tea :T  I feel sooooooo sleepy despite not having less sleep than normal and can't stop yawning.  I know that I should pull my finger out and get some stuff done though so off to put washing away.

            Jackie I thought Big Brother had been scrapped??
 No, this year is the last one, and they start filming next Monday.
 Have dosed myself up with anti-cold medicine and I'm drinking lots of fresh OJ to boost my vitimin intake.Just been watching catch-up t.v. and doing a bit of knitting. It seems colder indoors than outside at the moment I stuck a line full of towels out to dry this morning and they are having a good blow at the moment .I did my big pasta dish yesterday and have one portion left out for lunch and the rest went into the freezer.I just have to sort my freezer list out in a minute to see what's in there I revise it about every three weeks.Stayed away from the shops this week so I have quite a bit left in my food purse and only 11 more days left in the month so I am quite pleased with myself.
 Just had a the gas and electric bill in £90 gas & £47 electric, and although the gas was a wee bit higher than usual, the electric was down so its evened itself out and I'm still in credit on my EDF accounts .
 Right off to sort the freezer list out
 Cheers Chums
