I'm fine. Sitting here listening to sawing, bangs & with the smell of sawdust in the air - see the Reno thread for a picture.

Hello Ro :)

Hi Ro, how are you today? Have you been out shopping? :)

It's no problem except that I keep moithering the joiner so it's taking longer than it should.

I'm about to take a progess photo!

Hello Ro :)

I think yonk is already mad (in the best possible way, I mean) and that's why she does what she does.

Hi Cas :)

Don't worry, it's only numbers on a page. So long as your assets outweigh your debts and they are tangible, not wasting assets, no problem.

Have fun!

Cas, this possibly doesn't make much sense but Ro knows what I do when I'm not being a bored housewife! :D

Yeah I keep telling meself that. But, when I see red ink, I think of the Borg. :D

Funny, I must have had my 'dental appointment' look cos realtor dude said 'chill, it's just a bit of fun'. He wore a tye-dyed t-shirt (and during Stampede that's saying something!), so instant trust. :) And he used the same words that you do. :D

Then he is very good at what he does - beware! :D

Seriously don't worry - until you sign the bit of paper, you're just having a ride round looking at other people's bad taste! :)

What frame of mind are you in?

Mainly curious about what I can get for the figure we sort of agreed would be good which was less than I had figured on my own. I figure I'll either be freaked out or pleasantly surprised.

Excited mainly!

I want to try an experiment. Make a note of how many reputation points you have now. Let me know when you've done it.
