    Whoop whoop! :T:T:T Happy days! :beer: That's for you, you've earned it!!!

    I just did our life insurance/mortgage jobbie through confus*d and got £100 cash back through quidc*. Might be worth a look for comparison sake if nothing else.

    For most people the definition of never-ending is 'eternal', in my world it's 'housework'...

    that it is taxi.
    the porch looks fab, they'll be back tomorrow to finish off the plasterboard bit inside for the ceilings etc and then it's done all bar the painting of the bin cupboard door. I bought the paint for that 2 years ago, someone made a comment that they'd had no choice in the colour ....well..... they should have gotten of their lazy arrise and pulled out their finger and done some of the arranging shouldn't they! twill be a lovely colour though, very smart :)
    just sorted out OH's finances, thankfully it was a 5 week month so a bit more money into the coffers which has helped with the porch money needed.
    I've also sorted out the payment for the porch :)
    now we're all square and skint. Just the bank of M&D loan to pay off, guess it needs a name........ any ideas?

    thanks for the info about c0nfused and the insurance, i'd spotted their offer so we may just have a look into it.

    it's a sad day in the LT household today. Last night we had a funeral as my little bunny rabbit died. Thankfully we were with him when it happened so he wasn't alone, and we think he had a heart attack.
    Mr LT is on a 12 hr shift today so i'm home alone now :(

    thanks everyone. I know he was only a rabbit but he was such a character and i'm feeling down today.
    Dragon, we've also got two g-piggies. They're in their run mowing some lawn for me.
