    Drinking urine is supposed to be good for you - maybe you've found a more palatable solution Nats and will make a fortune, and pay off your mortgage before us all :j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I'll take your positive comments as definite advance orders. Meanwhile I am tying to think of a snappy name....Carrot-a-pish? Ur-in-carrot? Peeweevegee? I will of course give you both 'mates rates':D

    I am back in the semi game, having attended lady gym after work and only having lots of chips and a large slice of fruit pie.....

    On the plus I now have £61 YES £61!!! in my special £1/£2 coin tin it's so easy saving these little babys up :D

    On the negative I have to spend money on house insurance (for my mum's house) it's lying empty, and very old - built in 18something, so insurance is horribly high:(

    Still, I do have my coin stash........

    I have been busy putting on weight and doing no Uni work whatsoever HDK:o

    I can't remember if I said previously, however I had a car break in 3 weeks ago (despite loads of things in the car, the only thing taken was.......my work pass!)
    Anyway, fast forward to today and someone bashed into my car - LBR is really in the wars poor wee thing:(
    Workwise, busy times ahead right up to, and just beyond, end of term.......
    Yesterday evening I watched a programme about hoarders on iplayer, so this morning I loaded LBR with toot and went to the dump, as well as creating a charity pile - I think I could easily become a hoarder if I'm not careful so have decided to, for once and for all, to mercilessly get rid of unnecessary clutter and reclaim my garage;)

    Let's see now, things I'm grateful for;
    #Lovely smelly candles
    #My £1/£2 coins now at £75 mark
    #Dog and kids are happy
    #Weather carp so TD (with internal light:smileyhea) made utility room all cosy and smelling like a laundrette - larve that smell;)
    #nobblybobbly ice lollies

    I watched that hoarders programme Natty, if its the one where the elderly woman started hoarding when her fiance died decades before and 50 something years later found her "bottom drawer" with sheets put away for her marriage after she was helped to clear her house. All very sad.

    I'm with you on the hoarding tendencies, but my experience of having to delay selling my last house for 18 months to declutter the loft/ cellar and every conceivable area of storage space has made me paranoid. I'm now bordering on insanity if I can't shut a drawer or cupboard cos it's full..lol
