Pooky I know Ive been ill on and off for weeks now...think Im just run down and stress of the move/school nightmare isn't helping. Im pretty sure once Ive moved and am sorted I'll be back to full health!

OOo Ive pretty much agreed to buy a lovely farmhouse table and chairs £95 bargain!
Im going to paint the legs and underneath in cream and wax the chairs and table top

Are there any dress agencies that you could take it to Bookie...

No - I've looked. It was nearly £700 new 3 years ago - those were the days eh. Can't believe I did it but back then it seemed normal. It did look lovely though.

I had the travel cot here for Samuel once - unded up taking it back to DD uncollapsed.

That's not good about the accident Gemmz. I am still having problems 8 months after mine and my knee just continues to get worse.

Sally - if you were a bit close I'd give you the number of my friend who has a garage in Poole. He's as straight as they come, won't rip you off (doesn't need to, he's up to his eyes in work 6 days a week), I used to drink with him regularly in the pub I used to go to. If you ever consider it or need someone in an emergency after you've moved, let me know, basically he's opposite Poole Hospital behind the houses/petrol station.

Does anyone have any recommendations for wii 'exercise' games. I have wii fit (it's ok, but going to get limiting quickly) and Biggest Loser (not liking the emphasis on traditional work outs with a trainer) but want something which is combining exercise with 'games' similar to the challenges in Biggest Loser. I want to carry on exercising but finding doing a work out with an onscreen trainer excruciatingly dull and no different to getting a DVD.

Well done Claire, Bunny will be chuffed

Looks like a gorgeous table Sally but do check ebay first - you can pick them up for a lot cheaper (if you've got the patience) Some people over on the "shabby chic" thread are picking up big old tables for between 99p and £20.

BB I think Rob might use that garage and goes on about how great it is...he can get to it in 5-10 mins from work so that would be about right. Im going back on monday to complain and to get them to fix it without charging me anymore money and then I shall never go back to the garage again!

Ive been keeping an eye out Pooky but by the time ive either gone to pick most of them up and spent money on petrol or paid for someone to collect it never works out that cheap. And with the chairs included seemed reasonable and could probably carry it to the new house

Wow page 1 of the weekend chat is a bit depressing. For those who need it I want you to have a good SCREAM :mad: and then a stretch :j and then smile because you're alive and its the weekend.

Maybe not you Gemmzie, might aggrevate your neck. I take it you do know who this person is who side swiped you.

Sal that is a lovely table and chairs. Really homely and substantial and a bargain. My dining table was a victim of a divorce - the guy (a friend of a friend) couldn't get it in his new house so I got it for free!

Well my friend Stuart has been round to sort the cooker hood out. It turns out there's no tiles behind the original and he needs tiles to level the surface and give something else for the fixings to fix into. So today when I get bored of tiling the bathroom I can tile the kitchen - oh joy. :T

Gemmzie - that's awful about your accident yesterday, you must be in agony, hon. And how dare that stupid *&^%$ ruin your lovely day. :mad: W:mad:here did you get your dress from? Do you absoutely love it? I adored mine, I still wish that I could wear it everyday, I felt so special! I just have to settle now for showing everyone I

I got it in a little bridal shop in Penzance, the woman was so nice and not pushy, let us play for hours with the dresses! I do, it's slightly different to what I expected to go for but it's beautiful.

Morning all.
Flipping raining here too so I'm in a foul mood. Fed up with being totally broke too but no good moaning about it I guess.
Sorry to hear about the earache Sal but so glad that I no longer have to sit in a dead shop all day.
Good luck with the decluttering Buffy.
Hugs for Gemzie - when's the big day?
Enjoy one ahead on the jobs list Jo.
I may clean today - can't make me anymore mardy can it? :rotfl:

Hey bookie, haven't seen you for ages, how's everything? Not till June 2012 but I only have school holidays to sort things out so trying to do a little bit at a time!

Gemz - Sorry to hear about your accident - hope you're feeling better soon. What's your dress like?

It's Mori Lee, think it's called 4202

Gemzie - have to been checked out at the hospital? Glad you got your dress but sorry your lovely day was ruined .

Well done on the weight loss Claire! I seriously need to shift the pounds. I went to the local walk-in centre (which is also my GP) and they gave me pain killers and diazepam for the muscle spasm. Not what I needed on day one of my holidays

I was still having problems from before too, now it's going to get seriously complicated with two open cases and two lots of solicitors. I'm so stressed with it all, I may have to go on anxiety meds because my blood pressure was through the roof yesterday and it makes the IBS worse.

I'd recommend EA Active, it's tougher than Wii Fit. I haven't played Biggest Loser though.
