    If you really want purple bedding LT why not dye it like Pippi suggested? Well done on the overpayments, I'll be glad to get back to earning a wage hopefully. Surely something can come out of 4 interviews?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    hi everyone, sorry to have been missing again, i just haven't been online so much of late.

    Bathroom is progressing but is slow, and it looks like the leccy man won't be here till next monday so that's really slowing things down.
    the tiles are being put on the wall and are looking good, but it now looks like the shower glass door thingie is a bit too big so he's going to have to cut it down a little. I really hope not too much though and that nothing gets broken.

    what has everyone been getting up to of late? i'm not done much more than try and sort out the house and live with the mess, and go to work, have to admit that despite the day off yesterday i'm completely cream crackered tonight.

    at the moment i'm getting ready for hospital, i'll be going into hospital for tuesday. We've had to book some accomodation for Mr LT because we've a 2hour journey each way. Fingers crossed i'll be home and recovering by the end of the week.

    thanks everyone
    sorry it's not too interesting on this thread as of late. I think it's because i'm ticking over with Mad Mavis which will be cleared within 12 months. The increased mortgage means we don't have much spare to put anywhere or for me to play with, and anything we are savings is being ploughed back into the house at the moment. Once we've finally paid for the bathroom stuff, we'll have to start saving again for a new front door which is the next thing on the list, and i suspect an expensive thing.
