    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Aloha Froggy,

    He is the fat one from the telly! I wouldn't have guessed him as a pin up at all but I suppose if I had picked him as a bit of a looker, I might have more serious issues in my life to be addressing!!

    Cheers,

    Billy

    He is chubbier in real life than on the telly.. Actually, it was very enjoyable too.. He is a really funny guy, had lots of stories to tell, and managed to cook 5 dishes in an hour..

    BabyB06, I have a couple of pictures for you, just need to work out how to post them on here from the Mac at home :o

    Hope all is well with everybody?

    Ps: Billy, you do worry me sometimes...:eek:

    Yeah! Another £100 OP'd tonight.. Not a lot, but quite happy with that, considering the very expensive summer we have had so far..

    Will update the figures next week, once the usual payment goes through and my OP has been taken into consideration...

    Phoned a local estate agent to get the house valued this coming Saturday.. This specific agent managed to sell a similar property to ours in our street.. The first sale in the last 2 years here!!

    Well done on the OP, hope the valuation goes well. I think now is an ok time to sell as people try to complete house moves in time for Christmas.

    Just received the latest bill for Gas & Electricity, and we are £38 in credit.. We just need to build up a bit more credit to cover the rise in the upcoming winter.. Our current combined monthly DD is £70..

    It's freezing up here, really feels like winter is coming..

    I have sent my complaint letter to Curry/Dixons this morning.. I am not expecting anything back but at least I have got this off my chest, and if this can save another customer from having the issues I have had, then I have done my good deed for the day..

    Got a call from Currys/Dixons, and after speaking to the store & installers they have decided to refund me £130 for the appalling service we received... RESULT !!!
