    Thanks - only a bistro set but I know the seats are comfy, it looks in great condition and less than 1/2 what it would be new :T. There was a better value set - lovely bronzed metal and really nice square table, dearer but better. However, more for sitting at than in IFSWIM :D. V nice though and although an hour away I'll be driving past it later this week. But for once the cheaper one was the right one :j.


    PS - sorry about the rain for the next 6 months :rotfl:.

    Ocemeer that's not funny :(. Feet were out yesterday but back away today as will be spending time in a warehouse. So boots and socks back on :o. Bistro set collected and in garage.

    Day 2 of the week from hell. At the end of it I'll have done around 750 miles, in addition to doing a full week's work :eek:. My little car will cross the 100,000 barrier this morning. Bless her :happyhear.

    Still, lots of time in the car means lots of time for [STRIKE]plotting[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]scheming[/STRIKE] planning. It's only a matter of time before I remember the forgotten account with 52.5k in it :rotfl:.

    Off for long drive with sunglasses on :cool:.

    In other matters, £1.20 Tilly Tidy this morning :). Make that
    only a matter of time before I remember the forgotten account with [STRIKE]52.5k[/STRIKE] £52,498.80 in it
    :D.

    GG, I am supposed to be distributing the books by today. Unfortunately, I haven't been anywhere near a post office so far. So will post you the book at the earliest.

    Thanks, I heard this mentioned on the radio today :D. (The fact it was World Book Day, not that Unhappy Shopper hadn't been to the post office :rotfl:).

    Not too bad - unlike the folk in the smash I went past on the M4 :eek: - hopefully they're all ok.
