DP's laid the membrane for me so I just had to wash the slate and spread it on top. I used a beach bucket and spade so I wasn't lifting anything too heavy and I use a thick foam kneeling cushion so I don't have to bend too much

We have agreed on a safety gate ... the winner was .....
1. white "pressure fit" so no drilling but has a bar at the bottom you have to step over. Overall 91cm high £16.99. I will use my £10 voucher so will only cost £6.99. We now need to agree on a pet carrier for in the car.....

DS is paying for puppy, vet bills, vaccinations & spaying and pet insurance.

I have worked out my budget for the rest of the month £164.22 minus spent in aldi today £53.09 = £111.13. I am out to dinner later this month but hopefully will be able to get some vouchers nearer the time.

I have had no interest in my old dining table and just want it gone now. I've changed it to free for collection so hopefully someone will see it. If it hasn't gone in the next few days I am going to take it to the tip with all the other stuff.

Excited someone has emailed about collecting my table. Hope he does as it saves me taking it to the tip :j

Am waiting for someone to stop burning/BBQ'ing out the back so I can hang my washing out

Hope its not their lunch I can smell as it stinks !!

Hello I am glad someone might be taking table away. Yikes to bbq - I hate it when people do that after you hang your washing out.

Is it warm by you? I am sooooo hot. No work done yet.

Have been contacted by 2 people about my table one of them is coming tomorrow evening to collect :j
Bad news the safety gate is out of stock in Argos pretty much everywhere & for delivery.

Am now trying to find another with good reviews at a similar price.

Its warm here but cloudy now and very windy... maybe the forecast is right and there a storm coming

And by me.
good luck with the gate. I hope you can get one soon.

Have spent ages trying to find another safety gate at similar price with no success. Just had one last check on argos and blow me down with a feather one of the ones we wanted has suddenly become available at my local store :T They must have been updating their website at the end of the day or something maybe someone had reserved the last one for collection by 6pm today and didn't go and collect / pay. So I have now reserved it for collection tomorrow and it now shows out of stock again. How amazing is that !

Had a few spots of rain earlier but no storm yet.

Great news I am v glad. It's been a palaver but it's falling into place for you. I can't believe how much you do. Ive hardly done much today.

Finally had my ENT appointment this morning and the consultant used a numbing spray to help me with the camera up the nose and down the throat and it was much easier this time. I wish they had done that last time. Anyway he said my vocal chords are not affected / damaged but the problem is caused by the tissue damage from the lump removed and I am still healing. He said it is not unusual to take 2-3 YEARS to recover fully :eek: So its carry on with the painkillers for now and hope it gets better soon !

I went to argos and collected the safety gate this afternoon. They tried to charge me £24.99 as apparently its gone up, but thankfully I had printed off my reservation details with the price of £16.99 so that's what I paid for it, minus the £10 voucher it was £6.99 as expected. It was easy to install once I ignored the instructions :rotfl: just have to get used to opening it every time we want to go into the kitchen now !

Chap should be coming to collect the old table at 6.30pm

Get a grip !
