    Looking normal to me Starnac!

    I went to Edit Signature and added an extra space at the end and saved it as new. It's been fine since!

    Pippi DD loved the picture of the ladies wishing her happy birthday. She even pointed out Greta (not sure if she was right but she was convinced!)

  • Hey up Starnac if she pointed to the one on the left, she was right!

    Evening all, time to get settled soon.

    Tea was lovely I can't get enough soy mince mixed in with my regular meat. lamb tonight - yummy. Enough left over pasta for lunches.

    Snap box packed for himself (soup/bread/crackers and fruit)

    Chores done, time for bed once the dishwashers done.

    Just been looking at boilerjuice for cheaper oil, the heating will need to go on soon, although I'm hoping not before Nov.

    Fingers crossed, or more jumpers.

    NSD and a NDD

    Sorted some post for the kids, must get that away tomorrow.

    Phoned Dr's must get a form to register, nope they won't post it and I'm not wasting 10p/mile to just pick one up. I'll phone again and ask for it to be sent.

    BTW - Its probably very old news but Tu go phone app is pretty handy to reduce the phone spends at home using wifi. (02 customers only I think......)

    Z love the idea that you think I might have said something worthwhile earlier :)

    RT a year a week today. Currently waiting to hear if I'll get an audience with himself or if he'll be over your side of the pond (work).

    Greenhouse staging seems to start at about 30 squids, can't see any second hand so far.

    Have a good evening chaps. Thanks for keeping me company today, appreciate it.

    Sleep well. Anniversary time ... wow.
    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • Morning ladies.

    Thanks a good nights sleep and the stove in the kitchen is still in woop woop.

    Hens and mutts fed.

    Phone bill arrived.

    £52.59

    £28 package. £24 calls, mainly work, must claim back. Upped the allowance for free evening weekend calls, (£3 month) was thinking of the £7 for daytime free too but mainly my calls are to work mob numbers. So that wouldn't help, so using TU go via internet/mob and assuming that those are free as not using network minutes, but wifi.

    Must claim back calls.

    Nearly a year, wowser.

    Cuppa, wriggle on and seize the day. Hoping today's mainly a home day.

    TRG has a new guitar coming, bless he's ebay'd some bits to raise the cost of it. Clever lad.

    Wow! I bet the incentive of a new guitar would be enough to get on the bay of e! I'd check that he hasn't sold all your stuff though ;)

    A year already??? It's flown by! Would be a bit pants if TRG has to go away for work on your 1st anniversary though :( We are not big celebraters of anniversaries but your 1st is special. How dare he be so good at his job ;)

    Horrible day here. Neither kiddies wanted to get up this morning. Felt so bad making them get up. Ah well not long til half term then they'll be up at the crack of dawn again!!!!

    Starnac I think he's going for an even 15........:P or is it on the way to 20.........well rock gods do need their guitar minions to worship them.

    Poor tiddlers, yup holidays soon! The schools are off up here.

    As for anniversaries, we'll see, if he has to go he has to go.

    Not ideal though, pesky global clever chops at whatever it he does, that he is.
