Just checked, 3 pairs of 40 denier opaque black at Asda £4. http://direct.asda.com/george/womens-socks-tights/3-pack-40-denier-tights-black/G004043563,default,pd.html

Matalan does multi-packs too. Same price. http://www.matalan.co.uk/womens/shop-by-category/socks-and-tights/s2539639/3-pack-40-denier-opaque-tights

Do they still come in multipacks for that price from the supermarket?

I

I think so - and sainsbury's have 25% off clothing at the mo (own brand tights and socks etc are included) if there is one anywhere near to you.

Nice one. Half and half with curry sauce... full of win.

I was wondering if anyone would get it.

You've obviously been to south wales.

Many do half and half. Those one-pack meals are great if you're on your own as you get a bit of several things instead of having to choose.

I only got 3/7 on the test and the 3 I only got as a lucky guess.

One of the real hazards of being a barrister is how long it takes to get paid for work you do, and sometimes not getting paid at all.



Then, yesterday, a more senior manager told my senior clerk that they can't find the file anywhere, and it needs to be resubmitted in full.

It's obviously had an effect on our finances, we're both feeling very broke indeed, and I can't replace (say) my laptop which was stolen in the burglary yet.

This year I've paid more in tax than I've had in, which is a right PITA!

Cashflow is the bane of self employed. I do recall you saying you had to wait 3 years for a small legal aid payment once?

It's hard in our biz too as you have to pay and book fabrics etc, ship them, get them made, deliver and wait 60 days for payment from big customers. It can often be 6 months from the 1st shelling out on cloth (if made to order) to getting any payment in. Generally, we have paid for everything between 150 + 45 days before we are paid by the customer.

Hmmmm.....

You know old fashioned projectors like teachers and lecturers used? Can you still get theM? I wonder how much one could get them for? And acetates? I'm looking at stencils to paint trees on my hall way walls and they are expensive and not very nice. I'm not artistic enough to paint free hand, but I could trace over a projection......then paint.......

How about buying some mural paper?

I love the mist one but I know OH won't so won't even show him it.
I thought I had bookmarked a digital printing wallpaper company who had tree shadow paper in their catalogue for £45 roll...but I can't find it now .You can buy an image from shuttershock and get it made to order ...you may only need 2 rolls?

The sick feeling must be grim. Sadly my mother has been feeling terrible for months now and has just been diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitus and it's not curable. May be manageable with drugs and diet but she has terrible nausea constantly and it's really dragging her down.

With you on the house renovation chaos too.....we are 'suffering' here as well and the novelty has well and truly worn off now....but the target is to have a kitchen by Xmas......

I love those murals. I saw them a while ago and I think that's what got me thinking.

I think we need something painted here though. (I love the most one, and the bluebell one). Maybe not. When we go up I'd love to have trees that reach from the ground floor all the way up the stairs to the top in the foreground....

It will be dark and oppressive but one hardly lingers in hall ways. Its the place to go dark really.

I don't feel sick after I have been sick. Its not a huge issue tbh. Its negligible. I don't think its as bad as morning sickness or anything, somedays I am queasy, so I'm sick, then I'm not queasy any more. its not related to anything else. I have always been. Sticky person, I have what my mother calls bilious attacks a fair bit, its nothing grevious. Its just how I am built I think

I wrote 900 words in under a couple of hours the other day - on questions I have about the house for the solicitor from all the reports/ surveys/ registry documents. So I know that the problem isn't in my fingers. :rotfl:

In my mega-hard-work session this afternoon, I typed about 3,000 words in 2.5 hours. But that was an andrenaline-fueled-against-the-clock job!

Got my injunction, granted by the nice, sensible judge who pulled the "overnight duty" straw tonight.

The not quite as nice and sensible part involves me having undertaken to do a shed load of stuff now, and getting up at 6am (!) in case the Defendant decides to exercise his right to apply to vary or discharge the injunction at one hour's notice, that notice to be given by email to me.
