hi all, i love my windows and doors. What i love most about the patio doors is that i can open them and step outside without giving myself a hernia (no kidding).
been for a flying visit into town today, and visited my folks. I've even coloured my hair this evening. A new shade so i hope its nice when it dries. Bit tough if it isn't
I've managed to survive without the site JUST but it did cost me a fortune in the supermarket and i'm still not sure where all the money went (cept £20 for cat related stuff) i think they're going to have to start earning their keep.0 -
Nice windows, LT: might be warm enough inside for you to actually grow some lemons now!
Please call me 'Pickle'

lol not sure about lemons but i'll be glad not be growing mould with the damp problem.
been playing with my numbers again today and think i should be able to pay off Norbert by August 2011, and Bank of M&D by Oct 2012. we'll still be living in squeaky times but we will be allowed some disposable income, we'll be saving £200 per month for emergencies and overpaying the mortgage by £400 per month, which more than doubles the monthly payment to them once Norbert is paid.0 -
All sounds great! Thinks of things cats can do to earn their keep....................!

they could bloomin start by going outside when they need to use the facilities!!!!!!
i was bad today...... i bought a new rug. I lurve it but it does mean when we redecorate we'll have to add a new colour to the scheme. Which isn't a bad thing really, and we were going to redecorate this year any way as we have to strip off the wallpaper and start again because of the damp.0 -

Yes, we need to do that as well....not looking forward to that job!
I also agree about the cat thing - We left Her Majesty in today as it was so wet this morning, and she has repaid us with a little present in the tray! :mad:🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

My two princesses are free range aka cat flap available but they would still rather spend the day outside and then run indoors to use the facilities. If we don't leave the tray there though they find somewhere else indoors so it's the lesser of two evils really.0

The good thing about cats going inside is a) no presents in other people's gardens (one of my guilts!) and b) ability to monitor health
