Really? Didn't realise that it was going to get that bad... :eek:

Aww no I fly into Heathrow on Friday morning, hope I don't get disrupted, I'm so excited to see OH.

Actually I don't even have a coat with me - will have to freeze until I see OH at Paddington. Better make the most of the sunshine this week!

We're not that bad, only getting down to -4C here! Brrrr. Our heating still isn't working, it was freeeeeeeezing this morning! We had our boiler man friend have a look at the weekend and he said it looks like there is a blockage but that we should get out the warrantee on the boiler and get them out to sort it... dug it out and the builder who we bought the flat off didn't fill it in and send it off when it was installed! Can't believe it! I'm getting OH to bring all the info to work so I can call the builder and get him to sort it because I'm bored of being nithered at home! On the plus side it's only cost us £7 a month in gas this past quarter!

Electric razor. I'm going to do my most dreaded task and sit here and wrap up all the sold parcels for a bit now, I'm awful for getting the money off people then forgetting to actually send their stuff for ages!

*Wags finger* Naughty Dinah!

I'm the opposite way round: I hate listing, so really have to make a massive effort to get round to it, but love sending them cos it means a bit of a declutter as I'm doing it: item + packaging goes, so it's a bit less stuff to find a home for.

Horses for courses...perhaps two people like that together would make the ultimate Ebay team!

Lol NIM is a packer rather than a lister, but atm he's an ironer rather than a packer as ironing should completely dry out the clothes and hopefully slow down the spread of mould.

Going to try to wrap a few Christmas pressies today too, while I've got the scissors and tape out.

Set up the study at the weekend, and I'm feeling a lot more focussed and dynamic now I've got a desk and a 'work' place where I know the papers and things are - and best of all an always set up printer rather than having to hunt around the house to find out where it's been shoved this week!

I spend so much time ironing its rediculous, that being said I couldnt get all the creases out of my shirt for all of king midas's gold.

The Bridezilla is indeed the one who is making OH pay for his suit and more or less demanding that we stay over at the hotel the night of the wedding. He's not even bothered about being in the wedding party anymore since the groom didn't come on his stag do, he's kind of thinking, 'They're not coming to our wedding, he didn't come on my stag do, she's being tight about Birdie's hen do... why am I making so much effort for their wedding?!'.

I'd have told her where to go long since Birdie, I gotta admit I kinda admire your ability to bite your tongue. By now I'd be saying you know what, I can spend the money on my honeymoon / clearing my mortgage/debt etc rather than spending it on a spoilt little madam like you, but possibly with a lot more profanity.

Speaking of old marrieds, how's married life treating you and NIM Dinah? I keep getting little panics about things changing once we're married and I'm a wife... it sounds so old!

Dont, I've never been happier than I am of late.

A lot of people have a moan about Toluna, but recently I have been getting a lot of points.

They've been part of a merger recently, and from my initial reading of the merger details I wont be expecting to see anything from any toluna points I get from now on.

Took me 2 hours to get in today, what a joke. Hows everyone else handling the snow?
