  • *sends anti accident vibes for carpets all over these fine lands*

    Daft question you watching the results on Thurs. Me and Him are going to a pals and have the day off the next day.

    As the first polls aren't announced til 2am the last at 6am, I'm sure this is madness.

    I hummed and hawed about needing accidental damage cover but decided against it - pretty much guaranteeing I'm going to paint my carpet or something :rotfl:
    LOL I phoned and ADDED it to mine yesterday - not had it for years BUT new carpet fitted today so ...... just in case!

    Pfft, I got a new carpet last month but I'm living dangerously :D

    I got a new carpet at the end of last year. In two separate incidents (by two different people) a glass of red wine has been spilt on it. The carpet is cream. Best carpet I have ever had as it came out both times and you wouldn't know!

    Nah, I have to work the next day. Madness in itself as I'm pretty sure I won't sleep at all.

    That being said, we've got a referendum-free house at the moment as myself and Mr Mooo are voting different ways (he's wrong, of course ;) ) so I expect I won't get to watch coverage on the night. I'm going to wake up in the morning and know if my whole country has changed - it's really quite exciting :D
  • It is exciting and a bit nerve wracking. I voted last week by post. Our 'family' household is a 3/1 split.

    We're locking the one who's 'wrong' in the cupboard for the day.

    *joking, she's at uni, so can't really lock her in.

  • Mum was on the phone earlier and she'd ran into her next door neighbour (they've only been there a month) and was invited round for 'drinks & nibbles' on Fri night......

    Depending on the result, it's either a celebration or a drown your sorrows event! :eek:

    I have Netflix (another reason I should cancel the blooming TV!) and have been watching on that :)

    Ahhhhh I looked at that a while ago but as I have Sky I couldn't justify the extra cost :o

    Turns out 9am is a good time to shop in Morrisons - two large chickens half price (£3 instead of £6), some tortellini and some bacon half price too :D

    I picked up some free LEGO for a friend as well courtesy of WH Smith. I didn't realise they were meant to take the voucher out of the paper (and, it seems they didn't either!) so I'm trying to decide if I should go to another WH Smith and get another set....it seems cheeky, but I know someone who would love them and I really like the idea of getting a second freebie from the Mail. :D
  • Go for it!

    It's not often gift horses come along ;)
