    Beanie I have a very Lazy lot and with it being 6 weeks with kids off the clutter is terrible, once its clutter free again and minimilised a bit it will be easier to clean.

    Theres paperwork everywhere that needs sorting, beads that need sorting, things to find places for. And a general spruceup.

    I'm not watching anything that involves a crisis at 30,000ft - real or not!!

    Got a good result today with Barclays. I went £1.54 into my overdraft and got a letter saying they were charging me £22. I went into the branch and asked whether they could reverse it as a gesture of goodwill as it was the first time it had happened. They said that they couldn't stop the charge as it was computer generated, but they did put £22 into my account to offset it. I was very impressed I must say.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    I agree beanie. Claire said to me earlier that behind her cooker would be like mine. Before that I was looking at all these silverfish/caterpiller/earwig things (have no idea!) squirming around behind the cooker and thinking 'This will be the opposite of Claire's kitchen' :D.

    Now have to clean the bathroom. I have boxes of stuff around that is going with me but I can't do much about that. Not prepared to kill myself.

    Did nearly get run over on the stairs by my own books in a box on wheels 2 days ago - the hospital report would have been interesting.:rotfl:
