blimey I can hear that whip cracking from here :eek:

:rotfl: **runs and hides before the tomatoes start flying**

:rotfl: Might even have to steal some of pigpen's ideas for when I'm back!

Complaining gets you everywhere - DP got a bill from O2 saying he owed £145. Then he gets one saying he owed nothing. Now another saying he owed £105. Well he probably owes the £105 once we've gone through it all, but wasn't the point, I wanted to know why they were sending all these bills with different amounts. Need to find a fax machine now to save me £105 (I usually pay £45 he pays the extra calls), they said send a copy of what we got to say the account was clear and they will clear the account

I know. Blimey why did we agree to give her the reins :eek:

I must say i dont iron either. I enjoy it but i find if i dry things properly then i dont have to worry about it. Shirts and tops get hung up on hangers to dry over the bath, trousers get flattened and put on the radiators.

The only time i do iron is if im off for an important meeting and then i iron the day before i need it, otherwise i find that it gets creased waiting to be worn :rolleyes: I wear them so often (try once every 2 months!) If i have time and am in the mood i do occasionally put a dvd on and do some ironing. I find Sharpe a bottle of wine and a tub of ice-cream for afters makes a good ironing night!!

Right enough waffle im home early from work (come home to read but am going to do the kitchen while im motivated and then read afterwards) so will see you in a bit when my kitchen looks sparkly.

pigpen

heeheeheee... come on.. it was not my idea.. you lot came up with that one.. I'm in as well remember.. I'm not just expecting you to this without me!

It's not a whip.. it is my arthritic knees!!!

I've bought a couple of iris plants called "Karen", one for my garden and one for her dh's. She loved gardening so I thought it was a good way to remember her.
