    That's interesting. I met you, and I have no recollection at all of you being at all short! Perhaps you have a certain presence about you?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You are both taller than dh's mother was and I think spirit might be same height as his dad, not sure if he is quite that dizzy height.

    Interestingly, following on from baby conversation, his sister was given growth hormone because was so wee. She is I think the same height as her father, may be a little taller . Her mother really was tiny. Her maternal grandparents I've seen pictures of with their children, I know all of them,a And they must have been tiny, tiny doll people able to crawl through rabbit holes. Tiny tiny people. I cannot emphasise how tiny.

    Grrrr... why don't people turn up when they say they will? I mean a few minutes late is fine (I'm rarely exactly on time - usually early or late).

    I'm looking to spend a fair old wedge of my hard earned cash. You will have to come and get it though!

    Door man appears to have stood me up. Builder-type who was a no-show on Friday is now hopefully going to have another go at turning up on Wednesday.

    Yes, definitely all fits.

    I'm not tiny. But apparently I'm very forgettable/ easy to ignore :(

    Rubbish.

    Rubbish rubbish.

    I call you n with the eyes. Fir refers to you as 'that pretty n' ( to be clear which n we are talking about that we know)

    I'm not bothered about what they think about my looks. I just want them to provide goods and labour in return for my cold, hard cash.
    Thanks though :o

    I've left a voicemail message asking for door man no.2 to call back to make another appointment. Door is only a second quote anyway. Though in the brochure the first door person gave me there is the perfect door (think it is close to the original, looking at a couple of nearby houses) but with glass I really dislike. It's not particularly offensive, I just really don't like it for some reason:
    http://www.lpddoors.co.uk/door/classic-hardwood-external/acacia-bevelled-cluster

    so the second choice is this:
    http://www.lpddoors.co.uk/door/adoorable-oak-double-glazed/tuscany-tulip
    but preferably without the parcel shelf (so a letterbox can go there - having done census and electoral canvassing jobs which required posting stuff, postboxes at the bottom of the door are really annoying. Though I guess I wouldn't be posting anything through it...).

    No need to stay 'properly' dressed now - time for the joggers!

    I think by volume I probably take up the right amount of space.
