  • im glad its not just me. thought i t was going a bit mad.

    i cant wait to go home tonight as Hubs has finished the tiling in the kitchen :) looks great from the pics he's sent me :)

    rising, i bet you felt relief when you had paid them off though & at least you have changed your ways so you're still living to the budget.

    use the loo (how dare they!!!)

    Make them pee in the garden - it'll keep cats off the flowerbeds, and if you have a compost heap/bin, male urine breaks it down faster. I've been known to make DH do this ;)

    Ahhhhh just about .... have this pesky OD that I need to clear (down to having to change the car to an automatic after failed foot surgery but good news is the car is newer & I didn't have to resort to a loan). I could clear it with the various pot money but really don't want to use that unless I absolutely have to as it's taken ages to get them up and running and then I'd be back to square one when things need paying this year....

    Kitchen sounds fab ....:)
