    Oo good to hear you sound so happy! Great news about the garden shed - you must have had a lot of £2 coins saved! :) x

    It was a great feeling when we counted the £2 coins and realised we could afford it - well, we'll need to find £4, but I think we can manage that lol. We've been collecting them for about 2 years, and hadn't really realised how many we had!

    ZTD - in every way, the sudden weight loss was the best bit! :D:D

    I've updated my sig to show the savings account balance, including the money from eBay....can't wait to see it grow!!

    Is he 'building' it or knocking it down? :undecided

    Oh, that was him knocking the old one down...LOL! The new one hasn't arrived yet.

    The garden slopes away from the house, and the new shed is bigger than the old one, but he's insistent that the ground doesn't need to be levelled :eek: - I told him about 10 times yesterday (very politely) that we really should level it otherwise the shed will look wonky and will fall over into the bush, but he wouldn't have it.....however, his friend popped by this morning and said 'It's not straight mate', and now he's decided it DOES need levelling after all......grrrrr!! :mad:

    And then his sister rang him and asked for some help building a fence, so he's b*ggered off out, leaving our garden in a right state, and the shed stuff still in the kitchen...!!!

    Oh, and I bought Natasha a little t-shirt that says 'I love my Daddy', and put it on her today......has he noticed?????? Um....that would be a NO.

    Anyone know a good divorce lawyer??? ;)
