    Im celebrating....my DD doesn't like anything I do (it's Mardy, not personal) but she's happy with my painting.......success :D life is bloody hard work sometimes :o all I got when I was working tonight were complaints about the noise....bah :D:rotfl:

    :T:T:T

    Pleased the painting has gone well. :)

    I would not attempt to paint anything I just supervise, just seem to get in a right mess wall and me if I try. :o

    You would have thought with my dad being a professional painter and decorator some of his skills would have rubbed off on me. I know the principals but do you think I can put them in practice. :eek:

    Buy 3 packs of T steak burgers with silver "2for£7/3 for£10" sticker and. 9 different fillers against M. You pay £10 for the burgers but they compare £12v£6

    Burgers give you £6 PP so you don't want your fillers to be more than. £4 cheaper in M or you'll miss out somewhat due to the £10 PP cap

    Princes tuna is a good filler as its £4 v £2.50 right now

    Sorry. You wanted simple. Buy 3 packs of burgers, a brown onion, a red onion, red grapes. Green grapes, a mushroom, a carrot, a sprout, ginger and a banana ;)

    3 packs burgers £6 PP
    Princes tuna £1.50PP
    BNI meal del (jalfrezi/tikka masala mains) £1 each PP

    Having a powercut. Yes usually asleep by now so why is it bothering me. Only seems block of 8 houses but we are furthest away from station.
    Strange question. Why do the lights I have with spotlights in still work slightly? Not light but giving off enough of a glow to move around house.
    Hope power comes back so can charge phone or no alarm in morning.
    V x

    Sounds like a brownout, not quite sure how it's caused but instead of your regular 220V it's somewhat less. I've seen it once where I measured it at 70V - most things don't work, but bulbs will glow, and if your PC has a capable enough power supply then it can handle the lower voltage.

    Incidentally, this was the time when we discovered our off peak supply was a little out of sync... it was coming in on a different phase to the main supply and was still working fine (just to make it even more odd), and on in the middle of the day :D

    I can relate to that. My granddad (my Mum's dad) died of TB, this would be in the late 1940s. The cure, such as it was then, was for him to live in the park keeper's hut in the local park, for the cold fresh air as you say Em21. Unfortunately it didn't cure him.
    Even nowadays, my Mum goes spare if she sees people spitting in the street. And I mean proper full-on spare, and she's normally such a mild-mannered person. It's because she sees it as a way of the disease coming back and spreading like that, and it's affected her so personally (her dad dying when she was in early teens).
    I never knew my Granddad (well, that one) but apparently I look and behave just like him. I still get older people stopping me in the street and saying "You're
    s grandson, aren't you?" because of the family resemblance.
    I do have his photo on my wall, though, which I take great comfort from, even though we never knew each other. It would have been nice to have done so. I think he might be the person to sit on Snap-Ant's bench with:)

    You don't get tb from spitting the bacteria dies in the air so you have to be in a room with a person for a long period of time to catch it and only then if they have a certain type ie mine was not infectious to others but if i do have it again it will be another strain which will be much harder to treat because i have already had the medication before so i just hope all i have is a chest infection. If i do have it again i still think i would prefer to hear that rather than being told i have cancer.

    I got a flat pack out tonight and decided to do it man style.....I was proving a (very sore :o) point. I threw the pieces all over the floor and ignored the instructions :D I then said some pieces were missing......still in man mode :D then I built it with my trusty screw driver :D
