MONT is the big saver at Number 10, whereas I want things done now!<br />I'm thrifty and like nothing more than a good bargain but I still want things finished and hate having to wait. He won't do anything until he's darn good and ready. It drives me nuts because it means it's taking years, rather than months to get Number 10 finished.<br />ugghh<br />Lesley<br />xMelbourne Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512877501524848674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390135910400025884.post-69153967201529171452011-03-27T08:02:41.036+10:002011-03-27T08:02:41.036+10:00Will the snazziness of the new suit earn him a sal...Will the snazziness of the new suit earn him a salary increase that will more than pay for all home renovations plus a Hermes bag for you?

Right above my laptop I have taped a piece of paper on which husband wrote "kitchen in by 22/5/11". As yet we have no floor, no wall or ceiling lining, the doors need replacing etc etc etc. Hmmm... and new boat number 3 is the priority on this precious Saturday.
