    Glad the decorating is going well Gally! lol @ paint in the bath. I did the same when painting around window frames "it's uPVC it'll come off easily" Wrong!!

    Enjoy the paralympics if you are off again today :)

    The £30 Roman Blind I bought on spec a few days ago can be altered to fit both the bathroom and the toilet :D. Just :o

    Damn and blast... I spent 10 hours making one last week. Looks lovely though... just need to make another twice the size for the landing window!

    Note to self- only check GG's thread at home, far too many emoticons to be work related!

    Was there (paralympics) last night - so proud. An amazing evening and to see so many new WR and PB's. A life memory.

    Have to say there was some boo-ing. Not very sportsman like and not in the spirit of being British at all. I would apologise, even if it wasn't our fault, being British but.... It happened when George Osbourne turned up to present a medal. Bet that didn't make the tv highlights.

    It did actually. So did Gordon Brown getting cheered. But THIS when I was at the Women's Footie Final at the Olympics didn't :rotfl:. Proud to be British ;).

    Here's hoping David Weir makes it 3 on Thursday night :j:j:j.
    Edit: That should probably be images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmg1CWqTSkgCZ1ZlU6YDfUmo6TnB0AnTcUZBND9ZRr5xhRZYr4images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmg1CWqTSkgCZ1ZlU6YDfUmo6TnB0AnTcUZBND9ZRr5xhRZYr4images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRmg1CWqTSkgCZ1ZlU6YDfUmo6TnB0AnTcUZBND9ZRr5xhRZYr4:)

    Of course, they've done quite well, but I don't believe any of them set a World Record. Just splashed out £12.50 :eek: on a cert for mine :D.

    Mortgage still not paid off :(.

    (Sorry MRN, get on with your work ;))

    Off to the Paralympics tonight, go Peacock, Weir & Discus Dan :D. (And the little remote control minis :j.) Wish I was seeing some murder ball as well :eek::eek::eek:.

    £8.32 Op'd, surprisingly didn't make much of an impact :cool:.

    V, v busy at work. My unwinding day at home on Friday, tieing up loose ends before holiday, has turned into a mad dash to carrot crunching country for a meeting :(. Hopefully though I'll be home late PM and out of office message will be on :T. Plus I'm going most of the way on the choochoo which always cheers me up :).

    New bank card arrived. I've [STRIKE]lost it[/STRIKE] filed it somewhere safe :o. Luckily I don't need it for hols :cool:.

    File the list somewhere safe, then you don't have to do it as you won't be able to find it

    Enjoy the games and have a fab holiday
