life expetancy is at an all time high since we killed off chunks of population mining. its now 30 years and 16 seconds.that's a huge 3 second increase in the last 10 years.

:| Where is Bigfella?...

Bloody tablets another nightmare, think I will take 'em in mornings!

Anyone else listen to radio on little transistor? Methinks only me!

Little transistor implanted in your brain by the CIA?

Thems some powerful tablets!

:D Bugger off Sooty you always catch me unawares, mind you so does my sons!

Here's another update for you guys...

1. Still not found a house and the viewings for 'ours' have started. We have at least cleared up about the longer term arrangement that we can stay until a buyer is found at a reduced rent but once one has been found we have just a month before we have to get out.
2. Brake problem with the car which will cost in excess of £400 to fix
3. Our microwave broke last week so we had to get a replacement

On the positive side, Jo's job which we thought stopped today will actually last at least another month. We also had £60 today from her old part-time job which finished just before Christmas.

"Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it..."

Hang on in there Tuumbers.

A little poem to cheer you up (4th/5th line don't scan quite right, not that you'd notice:

Cheer up Tuumble
Have some apple cruumble
Lace it with rophpy-nol
And give it to your wife after your main meal of the day (or an alternative substantial secondary meal) so she can't complain when you have
A little fuumble

We have all been told not to use R word anymore!

Tummble have you seen anything suitable?

So Tuumble -

You're buying a house, have a car and one of your expensive electrical items has broken.

I will fly over to Chad and start a fundraising effort immediately! ;)

3. Our microwave broke last week so we had to get a replacement

Had to? When mine broke, I binned it and enjoyed all the space it freed up.

It is annoying when things keep breaking, it's been happening to me over the past few weeks; shower broken, TV broken, computer broken, car broken, and other bits, too; but I just fix what I can and get on with life.
Don't let it get to you!

;) Baaa humbug!

I have to say Dellas, being told I shouldn't use a word makes it about a gazillion times more likely I'll use it. This may well be because I have the maturity of a particularly immature urchin, but anyway: rohypnol, rohypnol, rohypnol.

Yes, yes I know...

It's true we didn't have to replace the microwave and we did live without it (and enjoyed the space) for several days after it died. I did notice the wording at the time but ended up leaving it as it was. It was not a disaster but it does make things a bit easier if we have one and I'm all for that at the moment.

In actual fact I've been pretty happy today; it's been pretty constructive but it would be nice just not have all the extra hassle to deal with. I can't have been too stressed as I was quoting Ronan Keating lyrics in the previous post.

No house found as yet - had a couple of viewings but nothing really suitable. Most are too expensive, too small and too far away but with the timings now a bit more flexible we have a little more time to see if something that works turns up.

P.S. Have you ever noticed that the 'Y' key on a keyboard looks like cleavage and/or ladies naughty bits?
