That's the spirit fudge2 :T:T

Stupid thing is, won't even eat most of the choccies myself. My mum will have some for mothers day and dad for b'day. I will give them both some now to cheer them up, and will give the rest of the thorntons to them to give to hospital and nurses that look after my dad. That's where most of the foxes biscuits I got went to.
I have enough choc to last a lifetime already, just with what people give me for b'days and xmas.
Still have a thorntons chocolate champagne bottle from b'day last march that is unopened!!!!

Got trouted with 8 boxes of desserts chocs earlier, got the usual "they only 1p, we can't sell you them" and there is me looking at the screen and thinking "it says Fudge, not chocs, can't even pretend they should be clearance products at 1p" so left it without too much fight.

Got my revenge at the next T's with 56 Terry's Choc Orange in the Honeycomb flavour!

Fudge2, I recently saw a 1p sel on a clipstrip (bin odour things, none left of course!)...regret not taking a picture now. I wonder how would they explain that if 1p items are so top secret...?!

Like this?

I would like to pick on the collective brain please!

As i mentioned earlier, my heating is being done next week. Does anyone have any tips on how i get through please?

I mean practical stuff like packing things up so it doesnt get damaged and stuff like that?

The OCD part of me is going to have a field day and a nightmare all at the same time

I want to make sure i am prepared for any eventualities. I dont want to get caught out with anything that I should have done beforehand if that makes sense?

How long's it going to take? Is the place going to be totally uninhabitable, or can you shuffle round, room by room?

Evening all, hope you're all well? Off to catch up from last night.....

that would = 3.5p each

Sorry, it was 250% of the price and 150% mark-up therefore 2.5p per box

3Dogs - so glad Mr 3dogs is home where he belongs, you two are such an inspiration with the way you're coping xxx

about a week i reckon. I could manage shuffling stuff round room by room if it was all boxed up, but it would be tight as i have a lot of stuff. And I mean a lot!

I'm finding box storage space that i didnt think of before now though!


I darent even start thinking about whether its going to be habitable here or not....the whole lot is being ripped out and replaced. Floors coming up, loft being gutted, back boiler being ripped out, kitchen cupboards being rearranged, you name it

I was wondering if anyone here had had a similar experience

Get protective covering for your carpets (mucky feet in and out all the time) you can get sticky plastic stuff that's its technical name:rotfl:
Acquire old towels for putting down/mopping up try charity shops and friends
Move any pictures off walls valuables makes it easier for plumber to move with ease
Buy bottled water so you can have a drink
Save a bathful of water to flush the toilet
Ask which rooms they're working in next day and clear access the night before the plumber will love you
All I can think of at the moment
