Oh my goodness. Hotel shower caps for proving dough!!!! That is a genius idea. Please consider that one well and truly stolen.

I love that idea too :j I could have used the posh Body Shop body scrub things, but I think I put them into the charity shop

Hi there Wish. I did think about taking some before and after pics but the before pics were so disgusting I would be too embarrassed to share them :rotfl:

As has been said - it wasn't you wot dirtied them! But disappointed to hear that Photob are now charging for an account - I'm sure I used to have an account there, and it makes sense of some people's sigs I've seen on other forums, a blank photobucket logo where a pic used to be. I'm on flickr - i really hope they don't follow suit!

Hope you're having a lovely weekend

Thank you everyone. We had a wonderful weekend and lots of fizz was consumed - although I did hold out until my guests arrived

It was so lovely to finally stop working and just enjoy the house. It really came to life with family and friends here. They were all delighted with a much shorter travel time too.

We managed without the downstairs loo, however, the plumber came this morning to sort it out. Concrete was involved :eek: so it will be Wednesday before it's operational.

A telephone engineer arrived this morning too so Mr F now has a business line and some trees which were pressing against the lines have been cut back and no longer pose a threat to our broadband.

In between making cups of tea for the workmen I managed to catch up on some paperwork and spent the afternoon ironing Mr F's shirts ready for his next business trip tomorrow. For the first time in ages, I felt like I had a normal, routine day :cool:

I managed to save a few pounds on this week's grocery shop so can now cover the plumber's bill without raiding the emergency fund and have a little towards this month's op too.

My personal funds have taken a hit though. Two pairs of my jeans have lost the will to live. They were getting a bit thin over the thighs and had torn a little then I managed to put my foot through the tear in both pairs and rip them from seam to seam. It's not a look I can carry off :rotfl: They have been relegated to the bin and a couple of new pairs ordered from Mark$. I'm not holding out much hope for the new ones though. I find it very difficult to get jeans that fit properly.

It's an early night for us tonight as the chaos of the last few weeks plus a weekend of partying has taken its toll. I am looking forward to a gentle day out in the market town tomorrow to continue my recovery :rotfl:

Happy Monday all
