    Good bargain on the boots!

    tut tut for your poor glossing technique - after painting all doors and new banister this summer I am pro glosser.
    tut tut for revisiting olympics emoticons and making me scroll frantically in the office (double whammy as H&S inspectors entered office about the same time too!)

    I didn't throw the pot out, I fell in retrieving the pot :o.

    Nothing wrong with my glossing technique actually :mad:

    (it's the lack of preparation that's to blame :rotfl:)

    Ha ha serves you right for reading at work :D.

    Sulking, that's what I'm doing :(.

    Stressful day at work :(.

    Tumble dryer dead :(.

    Over £200 for a new one :(.

    Jan holiday has got cheaper so will probably book this weekend, needs paying straight away :(.

    Easter flights quite cheap if we go early, again, will need paid :(.

    Waiting on bill from builder :(.

    No money to pay for it all :(.

    Upshot is I probably won't pay btl off till Dec :(.

    So, like I said, sulking :(.

    Back to the gin :beer:.
    To be fair, I could NOT buy a new tumble dryer, NOT book holiday and NOT book flights and pay off in Nov. So, slap myself and get over it :D.
