    The stamp duty for my house was really painful. OK, so it's my forever house so I've only got to pay it this once, but 3%! All that lovely money and nothing obvious to show for it. :eek:

    Maybe it's a blessing we'd never be able to afford a house over the £250k stamp duty threshold then!

  • Thanks. Not once, but 4 times, she pooed her pants and smeared it all over herself, the loo seat, the bathroom floor, her clothes.

    Trying to get lunch for 6, manage a 5 month old and deal with that...she isn't ill.

    Oh grateful, what a nightmare. How old is she? Have you any idea why it happened?

    How are all the people getting on with their work? What's being done today? Has the electrician sorted the fan out?
