  • Thanks Beanie

    :)

    As it happens I'm a bit annoyed with myself.

    DD out driving and says - ooooh I fancy a pasta bake for tea (nowt we've got in the house (aside the pasta))

    £12 quid later from the co-op - man whilst tea was lovely - I thought I'd got passed that nipping in and spending nearly 20 quid thing.

    Thankfully I'd only really thought out pancakes and someting already done from the freezer (spag bog).

    Hey ho - its a learning curve.

    5 drawers stripped.

    Time for a bath as I'm a clarty type.

    :)

    :rotfl: at seeds trays and strimmers, and good common sense there about the fridge - no point in keeping a fridge you don't like, so accept them leaving it with a gracious smile and them SELL SELL SELL! :D Those American things fetch good prices I believe and no, absolutely with you on not polishing a fridge...as you'd know if you could see mine. *coughs*

    Glad that dresser's coming up well -I had a feeling it might, it's just got that solid sort of look to it.

    Mara - Womble Song will for ever more remind me of a "certain person's" wedding...! :D
