Getting ready for the big impact
We started making some numbers yesterday to have an idea of how much we have to spend BEFORE the big day arrives. It seems it'll be a little fortune, yeah!

Fortunately, we're getting quite a few freebies; some of them completely useless, but some of them are really welcomed. In fact, almost all of the flat is full of free stuff we've been getting (the small price I pay is tons of emails per day to explain me about my beautiful little one...)

So, what have you got for free? Did you use it or gave it to someone else? Were you grateful?

Alt. What are you getting ready for?

Alt 2. Yeah, I know, lunch.

When you get the internet from BT you're not actually getting it from them, and if you call BT they'll tell you there's nothing they can do, but that there isn't a customer number for the BT fillial company that provides the internet. A month of rage there.

I usually get my cars for free but this means I don't get a choice in what I have.
It's worked out well so far.

Alt: The apocolypse. I have two tins of baked beans and a spider catcher so far.

Alt 2: Tuna suprise sammich and two small bags of Haribo.

I love me old car.
My dad offered me a fairly new Merc that my grandad doesn't want anymore but I'd rather keep my old beauty. I'm going to miss her when she's finally conked out.

You still have time to get some more tinned food.

I love the name of your sandwich. I'm hoping one day it'll really surprise you.

We're going to be in Manchester on the 3rd and 4th of September. We'll be quite busy packing stuff in Sale (Mark finally sold his house), but if you fancy a drink (or even food), you're welcome to come down; I don't think we'll have time to visit you in Todmorden.

Woooooooooo! fantastic. I shall be there : )

Great!
Gives us a ring, as it's Geoff's 40th birthday, and I think Mark's planning to give him a big party, or something, so we might be in Manchester rather than Sale. I'll leave the boys and meet you when you get there. I'm sure I'll enjoy your conversation more than the one from the drunken big lads.

Am I too late to join in this thread?
I've been scrubbing out my downstairs wetroom today (oo-er Mrs!) and I have a free set of aching muscles.

Alt: I'm gettimng ready for a nice post-prandial nap, I think. Then going to pick up the dog from playschool.

Alt 2: been to Subway. mr b3th held up the queue for ages. Old people shouldn't be allowed to join queues unless they know exactly what they're doing and what they want.

so, how is everyone today?
