    It wouldn't involve having the drill on the wrong setting and drilling at least twice as many holes as needed, would it? If so, are you me?

    Does it involve drilling through cables or water pipes?

    As that is what would happen to me if I ever tried to do it.

    Neither my dad or my recent ex would not lend me a drill. My ex said if I hurt myself while using it he would feel guilty. I was like what are you on about willis :rotfl:

    Sorry to be sexist but men do have some very strange ideas. Yes I do wear skirts/dresses, stockings and heels but that does not mean I can't use a power tool :rotfl:

    Morning my lovelies,

    Very misty out there this morning.

    Feel as rough a badgers bum this morning :rotfl: This cough is driving me mad. And I am not sleeping well because of it.

    had a nap yesterday afternoon because of the night before. And then it took me to nearly 3am to get to sleep. And then kept waking up to have a massive coughing session. I can cough and cough and cough until I feel like I am going to be sick and nothing comes up. I am getting a very small amount of phlegm on the odd occasion.

    feeling like the night of the living dead. And I have work again tomorrow. And I can't let them down and I need the money as well to pay the bills.

    Just remembered. I put some money in to different savings pots last night. I need to transfer some back as two DD's coming out tomorrow :o At least I remembered and can stop me getting any issues with going over drawn.

    Anyway today need to catch up pn all I did not do over the week and yesterday. Spent from friday night until last night at my husbands and he fed me. Let me do some washing to put back on later and have a shower :j

    Better get up to go for a walk. I know I should not do it but going to the put the washing machine while I go out.

    I can't believe how warm it is. I still have not put the heating on yet. Went out lat night about 6ish and my car said it was still 15.5 degrees.

    I am also still sleeping with the window open.

    And it looks like we might not have anything to pay in Captial gains tax if we pull are finger out and sort the house out ASAP :T

    Yours

    Calley

    I know need to pull my finger out and get things sorted out ASAP.

    I will just need to pay the fees for the transfer and for my husbands identity to be confirmed.

    He will pay it and then I will pay him back.

    Anyway made a bit of balls up today. As Sainsburys seems to be one of the very few places I can get stockings from and they have 25% off today popped in and picked up a couple of boxes. I was convinced I need black. Rather skin colour ones. Yep the other way around. I need skin colour have about 6 boxes of black which shows how often I wear them. As I tend to wear dresses mainly in the summer I need to have something that looks skin colourish if that is even a word!!! to wear.

    So might walk in town to take them back in min. Means I have got two lots of exercise today :rotfl:

    Yours

    And talking of news how is it going with you?

    I hope you have managed to eat. i know you are stressed up to the eyeballs. And for some people it means they stop eating. For me it means I binge even more.

    So I have given my cards back to my husband. Oh carp monkeys will need the card to get the refund. I don't the stockings for a while and I am sure there will be a few more 25% off before next summer.

    Oh if you like cakes and sweets all the halloween stuff is now 50% off.

    I do need a loaf of bread but will wait until tea time and wonder up the local tesco express and see what they have reduced.

    Yours

    No wonder you have a cold you are run down and not been eating properly.

    I am probably like most here are worried about both your physical and mental well being.

    Greetings from very sunny, blue-skies Venice!

    Had a good journey here, despite a 40minute flight delay due to fog, but as some flights had been cancelled, I didn't mind!
    Got from the airport to the hotel by motorboat! What fun! Bounce bounce spray spray!
    Had a nice trip up the Grand Canal to the hotel, passing under the Rialto bridge. I haven't done that before!

    Am now chilling in my room, as am shattered after the AmDram thing....two very full-on days, up at 4.30 Friday........and up at 3.30 this morning! :eek:
    Tomorrow there is a trip to one of the islands to see the architecture, then the first of many included dinners, so it won't hurt if I go without tonight! Having said that, I have scoffed the complimentary biscuits in my room! (Must avoid mini-bar must avoid mini-bar!)

    It's a quarter past five here, (an hour ahead of UK) and it's almost dark already. Yawn yawn! Feel a sleep coming on.,

    There's a jacuzzi bath in my ensuite, so I might have a go of that! :D

    I love :eek:



  • Give yourself and Alan a hug for me, Melly! So nice to hear from you!

    Hope the cold is better soon, Calley. Coughing all night is just miserable. Someone else who wears stockings! I thought I was the only one!

    Soooooo jealous, Pyxis. Can we swop lives for a day? Just a day in Venice?!

    My pumpkin pies turned out wonderfully, especially the eggnog ones! WaSp who hates pumpkin loves that one. I have saved a small pumpkin to make two more, one for Milliefleur and one for Diwali because I would like to give the kind people something they can enjoy when they give me my food basket gift. Other than that I watched several horror films last night, the Japanese Ring is so spooky! Then I went to bed and heard the tv on for hours afterwards as a lovely audio hallucination which kept me awake but it was a small price to pay.
