    Still desperately trying for another NSD after last nights desperate dash to Mr T for a bottle of wine, thank goodness I got 2 bottles though as DD has given me a bit of a shock by announcing she thought she was pregnant! So today was ruined by a trip to Mt T for a pregnancy test, yes paid for by me! And I can now see that 2011 will be an expensive year!

    It will be the most wonderful experience, I am still quite young but have managed to clock up 3 grandchildren already. They are adorable and you will enjoy every single minute I promise. :j

    That's great, dolly, grandchildren when you're young enough to enjoy them must be fun:j
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    :rotfl: ha ha - that did make me chuckle :) no, there is no way I'd even call 'that' plumber on principle now - see - he's lost future business from me (even if he doesn't know it). It's trying to track down the darn thing (leak not plumber) that is driving me insane - can't work out if it's the washing machine inlet pipe or the bottom or the cold pipe for the sink, or the joint that connects the ourside tap.... it's a bit like Cluedo for Plumbers :rotfl:

    :T Exactly the answer I was looking for :D. In that case may I declare today as number 5 please
    and if that wasnt enough I am now the proud owner of a food slicer :o Its the little things that keep me happy :rotfl:

    I got a food processor from Santa - I can't believe I managed to exist without one! ;)
    A friend tried to talk me into stopping out to the pub today, and my first thought was no!! I can't lose a day off my challenge! There's a turnaround, last month it would have been, just let me get my coat...
    I think that must mean I'm not an alcoholic or a boozehound after all ;)
    Well done to all and welcome to the new folks :):)

    Nym, I know that feeling. My friend's now ask me if I want a cup of tea when I meet up with them, and look at me quizzically if I decide to have a drink! :rotfl:

    Friday, Saturday and today have been NSDs, taking me up too 10.

    A quick question, I bought a groupon deal the other day, but have asked for a refund (I felt the hotel wasn't explicit with the dates it could be used so you actually had to use it a month before it supossedly expired due to all the exclusions, which weren't in the T&Cs. I thought that was a bit sneaky of them so decided to ask for my money back.). It was the only thing I spent that day, so, assuming the refund is processed without quibble, can I claim a retrospective NSD?

  • kerri is it worth wrapping tissue around pipes etc to see where gets wet first?
    just a thought
    i had a leak under the sink that happened suddenly
    i had no problem locating the water that poured out of the cracked pipe while i stood in 1cm deep water!
    hope you track it down soon

    and today makes NSD number 8

    even went to Mr T and didnt buy anything!! Wel I did but it was for mum and dad and they had given me the money in advance so I didnt take my purse or look round. Tomorrow will be a NSD aswell as I will be dropping DS off at nursery, going dentist (which I dont pay for) then home for lunch and tidying before heading out for a meeting at the nursery then taking DS home for dinner. Phew busy little day ahead............
