    Looking into mattress toppers as I'm sore from our mattress so is hubby but it's only a year old :mad: so need to go comparing at the weekend will let hubby buy one tho as he's sold his van so he might as well treat us :rotfl: the money from the sale is his I've told him to do with it as he pleases but I'll scam a mattress topper from him :rotfl:

    Dreading painting the damp proof course as last time I did something like this 10 years ago it smelt like sick :eek: so back door will be kept wide open and I need to make a makeshift mask

    Got a wee mini shift today don't start work til 2.30pm and finish at 5pm so not too bad

    Right off to get ready and get this painting job out the way xx

  • Well now, shouldn't you hubby be giving you all his spare money if he sells anything, given that anything you sold you put towards your holiday spends? Plus, of course, you work your butt off supporting him while he flits about between jobs AND isn't some of the money on the card some money you had to pay for his business he decided not to carry on with, if I've read that right? ;)


    Obviously, I'm being a bit tongue in cheek, but I think the least he can do is buy you (and himself at the end of the day!) a mattress topper. :D

    Love it straight to the point you're my kinda human :D

    You're absolutely right go lightly and he has offered but I told him to keep it I'm sure once he's bought his project car and bought what's needed he'll give me the remainder but the van was his and tbh I'm battering these debts ok xx call me crazy I guess
