    Congratulations:T, I remember this from when I was around more.

    I stopped popping by because at one point it was so busy, I just couldn't keep up with who said what and what was happening.

    In less exciting house news, my bathroom is still lovely:D and my kitchen is still a building site....fed up of the amount of dust and climbing over boxes of radiators and extractor hoods and living off microwaveable M&S meals.

    Hey :wave: Thanks!

    We're not so chatty right now, our numbers are down a bit :o. When will it be finished?

    That's quick deleting! I am not surprised that you are pretty tired and pretty annoyed about things generally.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I decided it was probably best not to keep what I wrote :)

    Things can only get better, is the theory I'm moving with.

    This will be a future product of robots.... a bin bringer-iner. It'll be programmable to find your bin and move it :)

    Now that sounds an utterly brilliant idea :T

    ETA Sorry to hear you're ill, GDB and CK :( Wishing you both better very soon. Especially, listen to your body and if it's telling you to rest, then rest :)

    Good to see you bugslet :) Hope your kitchen won't be too long betting sorted out. On the plus side, at least you do have a working toilet :D

    Florr is being levelled this week and a new window at the back should be fitted as well. The kitchen units arrived Monday...three weeks I expect, worktop not ordered yet (don't ask) and a the seating unit at the back has to be built and the are under the stairs converted into a storage area.

    Ooh you're so posh!

    I really fancied one of Mr T's curries this afternoon. They do one, with rice, a Chicken Korma, for 95p. That one's really tasty. The trouble with me fancying anything though is it's not economic to go out and get one item.... the fuel'd cost me £2. They're not £3s worth of loveliness. If I had £3 to throw away on a nuked meal I'd probably walk down to M&S and investigate their food (for the first time).

    Actually, if I had £3 to spend on one meal I'd probably opt for something like chips from the proper chip shop for £2, which is actually a large enough portion to be able to box up half of them.

    Today I've microwave/steamed 3 small spuds and topped those with grated cheddar. Still ploughing through the 2.5Kg of spuds, I think that was the 4th spud/cheese I've had. The portions are increasing as I pop in an extra spud just to try to get through them.

    Maybe you need a mini oven.... then you can cook/reheat pies :)

    Can you buy a few of Mr T's ever so tasty curries and freeze them?

    Tomorrow is a massive day for the Generalis. We finally pay off the last of the debts incurred by me having cancer and the other bad stuff that happened last year. So relieved.

    Sorry to hear some of the Nice People are doing it tough. It does get better IME at least.
