  • Morning all,


    Think I might call up to the chemist before going to work.. and see what they say about my skin, don't want to go to the DR's yet, as I know they are stretched to breaking point TBH..


    It is strange as its only on face/head, I have wondered ( sounds silly) I have started eating those cheesy doritos the last week or so, but then again if it is them, if there was some sort of reaction it would all over my body..


    Raining here...


    today is going to bay day... and try and get as much listed as poss, with BIN and a few 3 day auctions, think I might try and find some bric-a-brac type things to list too, as I feel the clothes listings might slow right down...

    Morning :D

    Alfie sorry about Grandma sheep

    There is a company that fits modern 50s style kitchens but they are scary expensive and not as endearing as the original.

    We found out that Rumlet may need to make an early appearance so we are steadily finishing off jobs around the house just in case. Due to my love of planning :o we have all the essentials so there is no cause for panic however we have a few bits we would like done so we are ticking them off daily.

    I noticed this morning that our hedge which is usually a dark green has started to turn yellow in places :undecided

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Rum let cannot wait huh? Not gonna be a patient one then. :).



    Miserable grey morning everything has a film of dank slimy wetness over it and despite the mildness my fingers and toes throb with cold in the way dank dark greyness makes things colder than they should be.

    hi all.

    ive just enviro man round :eek:

    ive bit the bullet and given him the go ahead to contact agent.
    he is going to write to him and
    1.... tell him that water is still going in C pit.
    2.... that the soak AWAY seems to be soaking IN :cool:
    3... that he will be coming in new year to do a full survey of the house and report any repairs that need doing.[round 1 ]
    4... if they dont give him a plan of action for repairs they will issue them with a formal warning which can carry a £20,000 fine.[round 2] :D

    so , they can tell me to leave... BUT i have a trump card which means i dont intend to go "empty handed"....;)

    i have to be realistic that they could give me the boot anytime anyway now so i may as well make sure they dont get off lightly...


    2014 is looking interesting ;):D

    Tried to post last night but it wouldn't let me. Love the alter table......I could 'look' after it for you.

    It was my birthday on Wednesday and amongst the pressies was a stove fan. 1 happy bunny.
    Sorry to hear of the tough times peeps are having. Think I'll be glad to see the back of this year. DS1 in bad books again but I'm not going inot except to say its going to be expensive for him.

    Plucking up courage to phone mum as she always ends up in tears. Sigh

    I may have had a mammoth 4 hour nap :o However I have woken feeling like a new woman and ready to face the evening with a smile.

    CTC Hope you made it to the pharmacy, they are usually good at determining if they can help or if a doc would be better. Rashes are always worth getting checked.

    Those cookers look amazing Rhiw I am not surprised that Alfie thinks they will be worth quite a bit as dolls house furniture is expensive as it is and these look great!

    LIR I too think your kitchen looks great already, I am sure when it is completely finished it will be a lovely space to entertain and spend your days. I would love a kitchen that is big enough to eat in and have a sofa :D

    I looked out the upstairs window today and the roof of the shed has a hole in it :( it is not as if we don't have enough to do!
