    Taurus thanks for sharing. I do feel you are not taking my self appointed role as Passport Inspector as seriously as your fellow flyers. This hurts me greatly as I have never had a turn of the fluffy mules like Michelle and Pigpen have. Now get on with it whilst I have another cup of tea!

    Well I'm back from work and not really motivated to do anything! It was an Inset day so what did me and the other TAs end up doing - cleaning! I'd rather have been doing that at home - there's loads I could have been doing here.

    Taurus - have you finished those forms yet? - you've had all day while I've been at work and you're only just doing them!

    Dusty - no passports to report here - kids have never had them and mine and DH's expired about 6 years ago!

    I suppose I ought to think about doing something.

    Catch you later

    Raphael For future referance the council will replace your bin free of charge as long as you get a crime number :rolleyes: but only the first bin not any subsequant ones. Should be the same for your council?

    I have no idea what rules our council has re:bins, and I'd rather not phone the police with a pathetic story of my bin being nicked, I'm sure they have more important things to do :D. Anyway, I have a new bin now *insert naughty smilie* :D

    Just popped on while I have a cuppa, I have been running around all day but still haven't done any of my list! I've been to asda, WM is done, most of it is dry, just the bits that won't go in the TD.
    I've moved my fridge from out of it's alcove, and relocated the chest freezer to my bedroom while the kitchen is painted this week. I forgot about the 4 eggs in the fridge when I moved it :o, but they have survived.
    I've managed to borrow a paint tray, roller and other bits from a friend, landlord has supplied the paint so I only had to pay for the filler for the chewed wall.
    I made a right mess with the expanding foam, but it's drying, and it will have to do :p

    I'm off to walk the dog now my cuppa is finished, then going to start on the kitchen (honest!)

    just tell the council that the bin fell in the truck and yes you did see it happen and the bin men told you to phone for a new one as it happens all the time.

    It really does, we lost 2 that way.
