    Hang on ... you went to Hogwarts, didn't you!

    Showing my age now, I've never heard of Biffy Clyro :( I've heard of Buffy Summers, mind ...

    Yes, that's why I have a mortgage.

    £100.35 paid to Emergency Fund (67.80% of the way to the target). A wee bit of money magic for a Saturday night.

    Just finished watching GoT, lovely jubbly.

    You've done a lot of home improvements since your move Ed, what else do you have planned? Hope dd starts sleeping better for you soon, so much disturbs their sleep doesn't it. You're both doing fab though and remember most people are just keen to tell you all the good bits about their child and miss out the draining bits of rearing children!

    Hi there :)

    We're getting 2 of our new vertical radiators fitted next week and 3 other ones removed so that we can plaster behind them. After that, we'll be glossing landing/stairs/hall and then getting those and the living room carpeted. Then we'll be getting our shutters fitted in 8 weeks or so. After that, we'll need to take a break for a while, probably just redecorate our bedroom before winter comes.

    That'll help prevent the broken bones when she attempts a triple salko somersault off her bed in a few years....

    I'm not even joking ;)

    Glad to hear your daughter is sleeping a little better.

    A note for your own safety: check your tyres and tyre pressures every week whilst doing other checks and maintenance. Don't let them get so bad that they're dangerous. :eek:
