Oooh yes roast potatoes and roast sweet potatoes too!

Not sure about dessert - I don't really eat very much so don't normally worry about dessert. I think that there are some chocolate muffins with extra chocolate.

I'll just manage a small (ok, large) glass of something! ;)

No I'm still 'dossing' at the mo. I am on the look out for somewhere. Its not too easy, it has to suit me and the dog - I think he's fussier than I am!

I've got a few people on the look out for somewhere for me so I'm sure I'll get settled in somewhere soon. There's not too much rush but I would like to be settled before Christmas so that Santa knows where to find me :D

Absolutely. It takes time, sometimes but you'll find something Im sure. Hope you're settled as well. It would be nice to be able to entertain friends and family in your own home - just you and the dog - god how envious am I sometimes!

Hi Stu-pot. Noticed you are online.

I'll have a VERY LARGE winter warmer. I have just found out the cost to rent a property for a few months..........

So if I don't eat, use electricity, gas, petrol, clothes and sell the dog, then I may just be able to afford it!

FFS, I only want a one bed place - no gold plating or butler service!!

Not too sure about the butler.:p

At the rates they expect me to pay, I'd have to do without the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.......... then I may be able to afford somewhere! :scared:

As for the butler, if he looks anything like Antonio then I couldn't do without.......... ;) :D

I'm surviving thanks. Collect my car tomorrow - first step to independence! Am meeting Gaynor (Burton Bunch) for lunch too seeing as I am going to be not too far from her (car's in Warrington).

Once I have my car, I can 'go shopping'. Well window shopping seeing as I have no money.

But......... life can only get better!

Boy it's quiet in here.

I'm sitting here in front of my computer waiting for the phone to ring and a nice young man will tell me my shiny new car is now at the dealership. But it's looking more and more like that's not going to happen today. :(

Oh well maybe he'll at least call with a VIN number so I can at least get insurance on it. :rolleyes:

I'll have a pint of cider while I wait.

Is this place self serve or what?

A 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. :D:D

If you click on the link and then choose "Barcelona Red" that's the colour which is totally out of character for me. :) I usually pick the boring beige or grey ones, but not this time. When we told our boys what the colour was they both said "Red, dad bought a red car" with a look of disbelief on their faces.:eek:

Wow, a Hybrid. Good for you. It looks lovely in the red! :D There's nothing like the feeling of getting a brand new car, eh? :D

Speaking of new cars - some on here know I've been getting fed up with driving my old jalopy, and I've been wanting a car ages - well, I finally got one (Not shiny new like yours though :()

Would you like to see it?

Congrats steve - beautiful car.

BTW - jim and I went and looked at camera's today. I think the A530 is going to be perfect, so the family now knows one of the gifts on my wish list.

Thanks again for your help love!

I like it. I'll bet it gets great mileage.

Did they give any estimates as to how many kilometers per bale?:D:D

It's sort of a hybrid too, innit?

You can pull it with the limo or use a horse. :rolleyes:

Well, we pulled it with the Tractor to get it here from the neighbour we bought it from. I wouldn't like to risk a test drive though, it's literally falling apart - purely ornamental. I wonder if it's a genuine old pioneer wagon - certainly looks old and rotten enough to be...lol
