  • Thanks Courgette.
    Drove to Reading and back today with very poor visibility.

    £3 survey money paid off the mortgage.

    It was bad today, weather wise, thats for sure.

    I love that you pay individual survey money off the mortgage, I think thats admirable :)

    I realise I've never, ever bought a fresh tree ... the tree I used to love best was the 7 foot high pruning from the top of an ash tree in my garden - I sprayed it gold, "planted" it in a bucket, and decorated it to the nines :) I *did* spend quite a lot on gold aerosol paint, I admit it!

  • So we switched on 23rd.
    No broadband service at all since then. They cannot tell us when they will provide us with the service and when we told them we were cancelling their contract since they were in breach of it, said "Oh there is a £600 cancellation fee"because of the TV package which I didn't (and wouldn't ever) sign up to.

    You know some people have endless possessions to collect?
    For me it was a plant and a coffee mug.

    You had a plant? Nice :)

    Boo to BT, useless shower. Have you villified them on social media? Corporate shaming seems to be the only way to sort out certain companies.
