Oh definitely sour grapes Red:)
Does money not grow on trees where you live Thurso???:):)

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 15:53

thurso Grin

Christ I wish that money grew on trees round here. That's for sure!

thursoback · 05/11/2010 15:54

Ohh, I wish it did desire.

The only thing that's growing round here is the realisation that we'll be working until we're 90 to pay for lovely DC to have 3/4 years of unparralleled fun!

Still we all did it I suppose, just wasn't so expensive then. And if you didn't do it, I can tell you it wasn't all it's cracked up to be, well not for me anyway.

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 15:55

MsGee - no worries! Yes, I am feeling upbeat today which makes a pleasant change I can tell you.

Mousefawkes · 05/11/2010 15:59

MsGee - Send DD this way, she can come and play with Nemo and watch Mister Maker whist DH builds a giant bonfire and DD get's ready for her friend arriving.

It's pouring with rain here! I think we might need something to help the bonfire get going!!!

Red - FB was warned 'off' you?! Christ on a bike! Why do people stick there bloody noses in?

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 16:03

mouse I was pretty pissed off when I found out but then just amused that people have nothing better to worry about than who others are sleeping with! I wish that was the height of my worries I really do!

venusandgunpowder · 05/11/2010 16:08

OK, I know this is not as interesting as Red's love life, but I have dilemma. Our bathroom needs updated and I have been getting some quotes. One (by a Polish plumber) is half the price of the other two (and I liked the Polish bloke - he has good references, brought a CD of their work, and I think he would do other jobs around the house). The lady who came today is a local firm - her dad and 2 brothers do the techanical work and she does the ideas stuff. She suggested a slight adjustment to the layout that would work really well.

So I take her ideas (and the computer drawing that she will send over the weekend) and get the cheaper bloke to do it?

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 16:15

venus I am not sure! I would be tempted to take her ideas etc. But then you have to remember that I am a selfish, amoral, still active alkie so might not have the best point of view!

desiretochange · 05/11/2010 16:16

In agreement with Red, anything that saves you money Venus:)

thursoback · 05/11/2010 16:20

I would agonise over it for hours, and then my concience would make me employ the local firm, and the polish guy for all the other jobs.

Bet that helps Hmm

desiretochange · 05/11/2010 16:21

Did she say her ideas are copywrite??

venusandgunpowder · 05/11/2010 16:28

I am tempted to do what red says - perhaps I too am a selfish alkie? Grin

No copyright on her ideas, maybe I will wait to see her designs. If they are stunning then I might go with her, but if they're not, or if she's not taken my views on board then I'll use that as an excuse to go with the other guy - and have a clear conscience. Thing is, if we go with the expensive one, then I won't be able to afford to get the other jobs done....

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 16:32

It's a tricky one venus. I think you should wait and see - like you said.

Well babes, it's almost sign-off time. (I bet you have missed my long farewells that go on for about half an hour, haven't you?!) I will not be back until Monday - and I will definitely be here no matter what.

Promise not to bang on about FB too much next week Smile

Hope you all have great weekends x

MissPerrier · 05/11/2010 16:34

HI Mouse I have taken Metronidazol recently for tooth problems. They are hideous and can make you feel really shitty. Drink a big glass of water when you take one it helps alot.
Thurso My Manboys also think that we have a cash dispencer secreted somewhere in the house!! Hmm Wish I could bloody find it!
Red Hello lovely good to see you x

desiretochange · 05/11/2010 16:35

Knew I spelt copyright wrong Blush and I pride myself on my spelling {sad but true).
I for one have missed your long goodbyes Red and am lookin forward to "seeing" you on Monday:)
Was just going to write "bang away Red" (just did!) but seemed a bit too smutty:):)

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 16:38

MissP - lovely to see you too! I hope that all is well with you.

desire I nearly spat my water out at my desk! Grin

Mousefawkes · 05/11/2010 16:38

Thanks MissP, I think that's half of the problem. I can't really eat so there's nothing lining my stomach.

venus - use her designs if they are ok, but ask her to proce match the polish guy? If she really wants your business, she'll come up with a better proce for you. Smile

Mousefawkes · 05/11/2010 16:39

Red - have a wonderful weekend and enjoy FB! Grin

Ignore those who are jealous of the fact that you have a life. xx

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 16:39

mouse - I hope that you feel better soon you poor thing. And good advice to venus.

RedDevilMoomin · 05/11/2010 16:40

mouse - thank you x

Mousefawkes · 05/11/2010 16:40
