    Yikes! 50 posts already :eek: I'll have to catch up on reading them in the morning. I'm in this week and raring to go :rolleyes::D

    I like the photos Soappie. It looks like an unusual shape. I love [STRIKE]nosing[/STRIKE] seeing pics of other peoples' houses :D

    I'm off to make myself a cup of coffee, then off to read, and to listen to James Whale. Early wake up call tomorrow - DH has to get up at 5.30 each morning so he can get ready to be going out before 6.30, which means I don't get a lie-in :rolleyes: I might get up and make a start on the kitchen first thing :rotfl:. [Duck - there are some pigs flying rather low]

    I've just had an entertaining few minutes reading the 21% off at ikea thread. I can't imagine what it was like on Saturday. We need a bookcase from there but after our last experiences i'm sending my DH - I honestly don't think i'd dare go back!!

    DD has just come downstairs saying she's scared the house is going to get broken into. I've reassured her as best I can but i'm guessing stories were told at the sleepover last night and now they're playing on her mind.

    Time for bed I think....nice quiet week ahead apart from tomorrow. Speak soon xx

    I'll be in, but not sure how well. Just take each day at a time at the moment, it just seems like one thing after another is going wrong. Mostly insignificant in the great scheme of things but there is a cumulative effect.

    Anyway, bath and bed now. Night all.

    :p already done uniforms so I am reading junk as DP recorded 2 1/2 men back to back on sky plus today and I am not a fan.........good night, hope it's a dry one!

    Goodnight to the others off to bed.

    Mudbath, I'm not desperate enough for a bargain to spend what I would save in petrol waiting in traffic! I might have a nosey on the thread later....oh and loads of Ikea furntiure seems to be sold on ebay, all local collection (well what I looked at) might be worth a nosey.

    raph welcome back, hope you get the ceiling sorted soon.

    :o I must have forgot to mention I'd offered to have Matthew when his Mam goes back to work as when I was replying to an offer on freecycle he asked why and responded with 'You've done what?!!!' :rotfl:
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    50 is not old and grey.
    You need to be at least 62 for that.

    Does that mean you're 63 craftscholar?

    I'm 30 in August, feeling much older at the minute. I found a grey hair when I was cutting his hair on my partner, he's just turned 28, he's nearly bald aswell, resembles a monk!

    Let me know how many you get Pink for being NEARLY 50....I hit that hurdle last year :o So I shall demand just as many as you....if not more for being older!
