Got a new set of keys cut. I think the originals have simply been mislaid and will turn up. We needed a spare set anyway.

Also got Ed a treasury of Funnybones stories, hardback, 75p so It wasn't a huge loss really.

I'm turning into one of those annoying people who see the positive in everything you know the 'oh my car's been nicked. Ah well I needed to walk more and it will reduce my carbon footprint' types. I'm going to make myself sick

TheMadHouse · 02/06/2008 11:49

that would make me a happy tenant ruby! why do they want new blinds do you let furnished/psrt furnished then?

if gO = mary poppins that would explain why she always has impressive done lists

have collected ds from school and he has come out in such a grumpy mood think getting up was a bit much today.
well the heavens opened as always on school run. so we found snails on way home as dd was asleep on way there.
bless her i was reading messages on here and she came over "hands cut scissors" she had a hang nail and wanted me to get the scissors to cut it off

TheMadHouse · 02/06/2008 16:42

Takes more than you to scare me Ruby

I picked DS1 up from preschool and got some more compost, planters and some herbs.

Came home and planted them up, but sore a mouse in our little mini shed, so have spent the rest of the afternoon to clear it out.

I am going to do dinner for the boys and then get the tissues I need.
