    Good morning everyone,
    I'm pleased you seem to have survived the storm so well. It wasn't too bad here and is lovely and sunny now. I'll check the garden a bit later on but it all seems OK.

    Have a great day :D

    Morning guys honestly I haven't just got up just been really busy ever since the drugs kicked in.

    Hope all of your garden plants, houses etc. survived the storm I think we got off lucky as it was only a little more than a breeze here compared to the rest of the country.

    Nice start to the day been chatting to my former noisy neighbour (you know the one who had a party until 5 o'clock in the morning) thankfully since the bottle of wine everything is ok and she is kinda like me common as muck! :D

    Started spring cleaning and shredding loads of paper it's amazing how things build up over winter.

    I got a shock as I found my Rottie's pedigree papers yesterday I thought I lost them years ago!
    But it came at no better time as if he were alive it would have been his 7th birthday today......kinda gave me a feeling as if it was Dude's way of letting me know he's still with me.

    People who have had to cope with the loss of a special fur-baby will know what I mean. [​IMG] Hel.xxx.

    Morning Woo and all.

    Once again lots to do today I'ave got to go and see if I can get the lads a personal event t-shirt for next week, I'ave left it until the last minute as silly old me thought our local t-shirt printing shop would be able to 'do' the deed quite cheap I thought around about �£15 for each members top but no.

    Been quoted �£35 per t-shirt even though I did all the design which I supplied via a memory clip and was quite simple. All the shop had to do was click on the design and enlarge it on their computer, they tried to say it's because so much work had to be done....I told them no I don't think so has I had some personal t-shirts designed for christmas presents and they only cost me �£10 each and that was for a design on both front and back! Another case of rip off Britain! :eek:

    The wind is blowing something rotten and it's raining quite hard so it looks like I'll be getting wet if it carries on....oh well at least it will save having a shower! :D

    I hope all of you have a fun filled day too. ;) Hel.xxx.

    Good morning Woo,Helen,Walnut and everyone else [​IMG]

    Had to get up because I coudn't see the point in trying to sleep with those bxxxxy winds howling right outside the bedroom window. :( Because Mr Kandy likes to sleep{insists on it}with the window open it is like trying to sleep inside a wind tunnel :eek: :rolleyes:

    Hope everyone has come through the night ok wherever you are..

    Helen,we will never win in this country.It is just greedy people wanting to make more money than they need to and they think that we are all desperate to buy their goods off of them.Hope you manage to find someone that can do it for you at a more reasonable price so that the first ones lose your custom full stop.

    Budget day today,so I expect as usual we are all going to be worse off.I don't think there has been any time in all our married life that me and Mr Kandy has ever benefited from the budget.Because we have no children,there is nothing ever given to childless couples so it is for us a waste of time.

    Hope you all have a great day in everything you do [​IMG]

    Good morning everyone, it is a breezy [​IMG] [​IMG] and sunny day. The wind seems to have got fed up whistling and is just breathing heavily.

    Kandy, most people rarely gain anything from the budget. They give it with one hand and take it away with the other. Even last year when he made it sound really good that he was 'doubling' inheritance tax allowances he actually wasn't doing anything. The allowances had always been there if you wrote your will properly. All he saved us was from having the extra paragraph in the will. He made it sound as though we were getting an extra �£300,000 allowance (apparently a lot of the houses in this country are worth more than that - I don't know how people can afford mortgages nowadays :eek: ).

    Have a great day and don't get blown away :D

Small paul the weatherman has other plans for us though, but then he rarely gets it right!

    Oh and wisey, hope there are no plans afoot for you and your caravan in a weeks time...!

    Morning Woo, Walnut and all.

    Welcome back Andy good luck at Uni I hope you study hard and not party too hard! :D

    I thought Rosa is always a good girl [​IMG] Been playing with the horses have you Rosa? Always nice to win isn't it? :D

    I'm having major problems still with AOL Bob's also getting fed up so I think we just may start looking else where if all AOL's problems aren't sorted out soon.....it's kind of sad as we have been with them for years without any trouble then they go and sell out and all the trouble starts! :(

    Got so much to do for next week I'ave got to find room for two other guys to sleep, dig all the camping gear etc. out for the guys, collect Mike from the airport, collect another guy from Manchester then collect yet another guy on the trip down to Newbury, find time to collect the t-shirts from Barnsley (I got them made for �£10 each a real bargain after been quoted �£35 for each top!)busy, busy times!Hel.xxx.
