That made me feel better.

Its kinda funny.

I have to pee in a mammoth bottle for twenty four hours they just called to tell me.

Apparently I have done this a few times before and don't remember. I asked for two bottles and they said no that all my piddle would fit in this one and I'll understand when I see it.

If its so huge that it fits a day of my piddle in I'm not sure I'll be able to carry it any where. :rotfl:

Well, it could be a mega storage space for really useful things.... from a huge larder/store, to somewhere to store your winter/summer clothes as the seasons change.... or somewhere for special books .... or anything.

Maybe I can't envisage a world where there's already enough/too much storage. I can't even work out where I'll be able to fit a swing top bin in the kitchen! Or saucepans, or a veg rack ....

Kitchen's big on paper .... but not in functional layout. They say 12x11' but I think some of that's poetic licence by measuring into the deepest recesses.... but, say, 12'x9' ... which sounds massive until you're in it and realise why there's not much storage....from memory I think there are 4 base units and 3 narrow wall units.

Oh, tbc, I am talking about the bit under the bottom two or three stairs. The bit that's so low only cats like it there. We envisage putting a divider between that and the rest of the cupboard to keep in contained down there,

Our current one Colgate was allegedly 100 but free with a 4 pack of heads from wait rose. Given what the heads cost it may be more cost effective to get a new one than buy more heads when they run out. I do think the sonic ones make your teeth feel cleaner than the cheaper ones.

In negotiation over rent, possible tenant being very pushy for a big reduction below asking rate which has annoyed me so have dug my heels in, willing to accept 10% off but not 20, perhaps in a months time if we have a void I will be regretting it....

Have you done a fair market rate comparison? What's the competition doing?

Not big enough I don't think.

I drink three litres a day. Some must go on other stuff like mucous formation and sweat but a lot of it is piddle.

I just asked everyone else who I knew had bought a house recently. Strangely the first one I picked who my friend said was really good completely failed to return my calls / email, so I then picked the one my sister is using at the moment who has turned out to be pretty good so far. I will reserve final judgment until the whole process is done though!

DG made another recommendation here. Have to say they seem very good. The speed is fine. Their attention to detail, & the clarity in their letters is brilliant.

I am a bear of little brain, so it helps.

Trying to decide what jobs to do this weekend. I'm guessing it will be more painting for me and strimming for DH.

Deciding what jobs to do this weekend here - NDB gets a free pass, what with running the marathon and then flying to Israel for Passover....

My Friday doctor is incredible. Spirit style praise to caring, and determined medical professionals.

Even if he does make me pee in a bottle. He seems determined to stop the fire fighting and see if we cannot get better control of the route cause. Edit, also just noted what time he was on the phone to me at.
