    oh Pen I wandered RIGHT PAST that bike shop ...the very one...
    I must've been in your stomping ground then...

    and now I'm all grumpy...texted to say I got home safe (when I got home) and no reply...nothing...nada...zilch...

    Just went in LR. DS prone on safa with TV on
    I switched TV off
    I heard 'I was watching that'
    Although impressed that he could watch TV through closed lids when not even FACING it I resisted urge (very tiny urge, obviously) to turn TV back ON and it's still off and I can hear snuffling and snoring but WHT a 6ft teen has draped himself over a 2 seater sofa when there's a 3 seater one I shall never know!

    is glasshoughton the one off the M62 near Castleford? We go there sometimes too - there is a climbing wall, amazing where we can go if there is a clmbing wall.

    ETA - I used to work in Leeds despite living in Lincs, then Leics, and DH is ex Colne so we are up that way a lot.

    They won't have it.. if it was that simple I would! I found one which should do I hope.. from june last year but they said anything from April 2008 will do.

    You are supposed to get a new letter every time they make a change.. do they have your correct address? I know I get one at least every April when the rate changes.

    Well i told them my new address but nope not had a single one. Hmm its strange though that they won't take the reference from you. Even housing benefit just accept the reference number very strange indeed.

    boddy brilliant news on the mortgage front!!!

    Well one load of washing done, OH is still to put it out and doing a BBQ now, so will be put out tonight.
    Sorry i didn't come on yesterday i just laid on the bed flaked out, my leg was totally aching me. OH took the boys to wet n wild which thye loved.

    Not impressed England are out of the world cup :( cos thats my week ahead glaring at the footie. Lampard the poor bloke first goal finally and it was disallowed. we were well and truly robbed. So i will be finishing the cat bed tonight i think and its looking pretty good if i say so myself. Tomorrow i will start another, sew another 2 dresses ready for the hot days ahead.
