    It would be. How would you know what your house ended up looking like if you missed it? :rotfl:

    (I know I'm a technophobe... but why doesn't Sky+ not record any more? Wouldn't that just make it Sky? In which case, time for a strongly worded letter, methinks! ...Now where can we find a man to write one of them well...)

    You inhabit a strange world...


    Long story. It's Sky's free service as I can't pay £50 a month any more. I get the free stuff and HD but most of the functions don't work unless you have a contract. I spend too much time flicking through channels looking for something interesting, when I should be out and about.

    I sound like my mother...

    Hi all - not been on for a while as sale was on at 2nd job so there until10/11 at night and not had the energy left to come on here. Then on Monday night walking into to 2nd job I slipped in the rain and went down flat on my back. Luckily no injury but it jarred me and took until a few days to feel right again. Otherwise all well with me just need another 24 hours in a day xx Billie xx

    :hello:Hi BILLIE...an extra 24 hrs a day still wouldn't be enough, I see you're as busy as ever! Ouch to the fall, hope you're okay now. I've been feeling very sorry for myself after slipping up on wet leaves on the decking! Teach me for trying to declutter the house by hiding junk in the shed, should have cleared the garden first!!!! Been in agony, not sure if it's alright now or if I'm just numb from the cold! :(

    Yes, psychos do need hugs too!!

    Me and my flatmate were talking last night and have decided to move out. It's too cold already, and the new windows might help but then we have to clean up all the mould and stuff as well. It's just too much. We are going to hand in our notice tomorrow, we are supposed to give 2 months but did say to them last month we aren't deciding until something beens sorted. Going to have a look tomorrow and see what is around, the two things we don't want to budge on is parking and heating. Fingers crossed we find something!!

    SB, Nic and Maty, can you please email/pm your addresses to me? xx

    I'll give you mine if you give me yours! :p How's the house hunting going? :eek: Sorry things didn't work out but I hope you find somewhere suitable and be settled for Christmas!

    Always a good idea to move out of cold houses. I've left my freezing room in Newcastle to my warmer house in Stockton and soon it'll have an extra 10.5 inches * so I'll be very happy

    Almost made me envious! :D
    * of insulation!

    That did!

    Interview didn't happen but have a number of irons in the fire and am advertising for a lodger.

    (right lets hit the road with my CV)

    Good luck Butti, with irons and lodger. ;)

    Mike, I looked on the DIY SOS Big Build website and it said nothing was coming up? Confused and unsure if that meant nothing due to be aired or no new project planned?

    Have you heard anything more from Beth?

  • Sorry not been around for a while, apart from bad back getting me down, DS had also been poorly!

    Got up this morning to a little bit of snow, supposed to be more coming in but glad I managed to get shopping done last Saturday. OH has decided NOT to come home this weekend because of road closures, I think it's probably got something to do with the fact we were supposed to start the Christmas shopping too! Made my first purchase towards Christmas on Saturday....chocolates for the tree!....Which we ate on Monday!

    Anyway....Hope everyone is well? I know some of you have been hit hard with the snow, stay safe when you're out and about but hope you all have supplies in and can sit it out safely at home as much as possible.

    Take care, love & hugs to you all!

    Hi All - not much happening with us we have only had a little snow - my sons in Leeds are having a ball I think they are making up for a deprived child hood of no snow!!! Sorry to hear about your fall as well SB. I just feel jarred for a few days, no long lasting effects to speak of. Another sale started today so at work until 10.30 tomorrow unless of course we have the snow that they have forecast and then I may not be going very far - oh I dream of a day where snow forces me to stay at home!! I feel we may all have to start lobbying beeb again for a date. Take care one and all and keep safe too Billie xx

    Oh and forgot the say the house that we were helping decorate for a friend is now finished and has just gone on the market, so theoretically I should have more hours in the week shouldn't I?? Felt quite proud when the Estate Agent walked in and said how well decorated it was - once all our equipment was moved out and the floors washed etc., it all looks rather smart. Billiex
