Default go slow on the house

well since we applied and everything was all exciting i have been frantic in decorating it but the last two weeks excitment has waned and i have stopped, all of it done except one half of the front room, this might be because i got p**** and decided to put the border up, well a big pot plant will cover the lopsidedness of it

i need some enthusiam to finish it, any enthusiastic vibes would be greatly appreciated

Well done on what you've done so far mate, not long to go now! us on the other hand have to repaint and recarpet our bedroom, carpet the hallway, lay floor tiles in bathroom, turf the garden and finish the patio all before xmas so we can put it up for sale after! so think of us when you finish your lounge!
take care rach, and enjoy the drink!

Hi tiredwithtwins,

I imagine arlene will be looking at a nice sunset.


Serious though, no power tools if you've been drinking. Leve them with the kids.
Oh hang on if arlene a nurse, so she would be ok.

Bye

i know this isnothing in comparison (grandma ) but ry has just revealed that he went into the back of a car on his scooter and now the bloke wants £1000 (yes you read right) to mend it, ry is only 3rd party trying to string it out before we go so he can go and whistle for it, dont mind paying for the bumper but the rest b******s to that

actually its nanny! not grandma
will Ry's insurance not cough up, surely if he's third party it will pay for the damage to the car but not Ry's scooter?!
hope you get it sorted, at least you can, mine's for life!!!!!
