Morning All
Glad your DD had a good time at Thorpe Park Pooky. I know what you mean about the heat, it is too much but I don't want it to be cold either! In the winter I stay in the living room as much as I can and say it is too cold to do housework and I can't wait for the summer when I can move about freely and have all the doors and windows open, but now I am saying it is too hot to do housework - mmmm I see a theme there lol.
Anyway, I have just been and picked up the hire car we are having for a week and a half. It is a Corsa but I am worried there is not going to be enough room for a mobility scooter and a wheelchair and all our luggage and food as well - even with the back seats down.OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j

Pooky - I'm glad your DD had a great time at Thorpe Park. Are you packing a patchwork blanket?
Tenmah - I'm sure with some creative packing you'll be able to fit everything in.
I'm loving the hot weather but living in an apartment hate not having a garden. I'm glad I don't live in New York as they're in the middle of a heatwave and keep getting power cuts as people have got their air con on full time.
I like the winter too when my OH is home, as I can steal his heat during the night!
I've just done a google search on 'organisation of global production on foodstuffs' and it suggested website to do with breastfeeding. [insert confused smile!].

Morning all - bit bored today, not got much to do at work!
I don't mind the heat but I wish it wasn't so humid, keeps raining a bit here but it's not making any difference to how horrible it feels.
Spent hours in B&Q last night choosing paint for the living room, so guess what we're doing at the weekend...

Pooky-can't suggest a particular treadmill,but we bought our X trainer on Ebay,from a company that refurbs gym equipment..so it's a gym quality Life Fitness professional model,for not much more than a cheapy Argos one..might be worth a look..Debt-free...and staying that way...0

well down stairs has been cleaned and hoovered, my hip has started to hurt again today, i've done too much this week.
my mum rung last night she'd been to m&s and asked me to go up there today and try something on and see if i like it, I think she's bought me a dress for the wedding. If it ends up too big in the next few weeks will they exchange it for a smaller size do you think?Boiler pot £30.92/£10000 -
