Sounds like you had a lovely visit, and have arrived back in London just as everything is starting to melt.
Good news on the scaffolding and the amazon sales, everything ready for the great pay off starting on January 1.0 -
fab amazon sales well done! havent had any for ages must re-list in the new year I think!
glad you made it to wales (and back!)
seems like all is on for the attack plan of 20110 -
Well, I've done it - TV 15 minutes of fame now over :j. Glad I did it and was quite an experience. Feedback been really good, especially as director at work is happy. Had to get up vv early though so am home early and about to have a lie down...
newgirly, Lula-Hula and CathT - Thanks for your good wishes and sorry I didn't get back to you before. Was trying to do quite a lot last night - including relax! I will pm you when I'm feeling a bit more rested. Thought I could send you a link to online tv catch up, but unfortunately that show doesn't do it - which I only found out AFTER I'd been on air. Meant most of my friends missed it. But will PM with suggestion later...
Posted Amazon books - £40 in profit in total:D. Also found 18p in change on the floor on the way out - one minute on the telly, next minute picking up other people's coppers :rotfl:.
Met friend for lunch and saw Jon Snow in the cafe, £6.10 on much needed catch up. It is the only welcome bit of snow here though - slipped on way to Post Office and now have shooting pains up my left arm
:(.

MW - your wake up light with radio is just like one we used to have. I totally recommend it and think you will feel transformed after a few mornings. Really hope it helps. You don't need to believe in it - DH didn't particularly but he was so impressed at how much better it makes him feel.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0

Really glad it went wellA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

ouch, sounds like you need a hot bath and time to relax.
Time for a lie down - have window man coming at 630 and have feeling he is going to have to take away the window we waited 6 weeks for.
oh no, that doesn't sound good. What's wrong with it?June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -
Well luckily the window situation has been resolved. We got a completely different window to what we ordered for the kitchen, and until yesterday we had no idea why. CathT - it was basically to do with the way the window opened and where the handle was. After chat with window supplier we found out that what we wanted was not possible with the size and weight of the window. After chatting through about 7 window scenarios we have decided that the best solution is the one that we have
which I am happy with. The window guy said if it didn't work he would replace it (and that our guarantee lasted as long as he breathed air, may he have an extremely long life :rotfl:!)
Found another 3p today;), and had delays on tube home so claimed another £2.70 from tfl.
Last day at work, am definitely coming down with something as have v sore neck and feel v v cold. From house account spent £9 posting 2 Xmas parcels, and £4.60 on day nurse. From personal account spent £5.50 on drinks for dear colleagues leaving do, I will miss her. I would have gone home early but I really wanted to say goodbye.
Not working now til NEXT YEAR! :j:j:j
Need to get some much needed rest over next couple of days. DD has temperature too. Due to have friends round tomorrow evening but may cancel.
