    Ah, the old " I can do plumbing ..." line. Easy these days cos you can use flexible and push fit fittings. Now in my day it was proper plumbing with flux in the cracks on your hand and solder smoke in yur eyes.....ahhhhh the good old days :rotfl:

    If only it were a modern house Jock, I could use all the short cuts on the market.:D

    Unfortunately there's only just enough room to get a "lick of flame" around the fitting, and God know's what I might set fire to in the process.:eek: :eek:

    That sort of thing was always easier when I'd got my good old Father in Law around.:D I've just got his daughter now and she's far less understanding.:eek: :eek:
  • Aw!!! I would take to my bed for the weekend.

    We're going to my parents tomorrow because they were away for Christmas so we're celebrating again :T . My brother and his kids will be there as well:eek: . Also my aunt. We are all going to chip in and buy chinese then put it in the middle of the table and dive in.

    Sunday we're thinking of taking the new jalopy for a run to Avebury and let the kids off the leash!!:D

    It's my weekend to have DD so it looks like I will have to just take loads of Lemsip and suffer :)

    Back at work on Monday and I bet I'll have had tons of appointments booked in for me in my absence so need to be back on form :cool:

    May let the ex take DD to his sisters to play with her cousins - I can plead housework needs and make my escape...

    Is it just me or has there been a new tab added to the bar at the top? Or am I going mental?



    No ignore me I'm just more mental than normal. My 2 year old has been playing with my computer again and put the bar that goes down the bottom up the side which pushes the forum button to the middle bottom of the tabs and not at the end where it usually is. aRGH! KIDS!!

    Make sure you have enough bread for toast and sandwiches, get a couple of ready meals. Get the duvets and pillows off the beds. Both stay in pyjamas. Hot water bottles. Lots of DVD's. A jug of juice prepared. A flask of hot water for the lemsip. Just slob together. It's what we call a 'pyjama day' and the kids love it.

    Hi tigerfeet,

    Try right clicking with the mouse pointer hovering over the bar; you can put it back to the horizontal position I think.:D :D

    My kids have done it to me, and turned the screen upside down.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Oh the joys of children - I have all of this to come.

    Haven't been here for ages. Hi, and a very Happy New Year to all. I'm on the strong stuff tonight everyone! COFFEE and it's lovely! Clear mind, clear heart. Saying that I would normally be a bit worse for wear but I'm working at 8 tomorrow (eugh) - just til 12 and I love Sundays.

    Oh and One Tree Hill returns this week. My favourite programme. It's airs in the US so I download it. It's a kids show and I am obsessed with it. It's in it's 5th Season now - so two hours of bliss next Wednesday - aaaaaah. It's not because the cast are gorgeous - HONESTLY ;)

    Hi loopy_lou,

    Non alcoholic drinks used to be banned in here after 1pm:D :D I think the place has changed hands though so not sure what the new rules are.;)

    Sounds as though tigerfeet is buying so treat yourself to a nightcap.:beer: :rotfl:

    Its been quite hard to get DD OUT of her pyjamas this week! Ex's Mum bought her some Dora PJs for Xmas and I think she'd go to school in them if she could!
