Was at my fourth wedding in five weeks yesterday, other weekend was a stagger in Amsterdam. Life's like a slightly more x-rated Hugh Grant film just now. 4 weddings and a stagger.

Was so steaming last night that I forgot that I had pockets on either side of the inside of my kilt jacket, so got locked out of the house and had to sleep in the shed. Not ideal. Had to use the padding from a sun lounger as a mattress. Not a great sleep!

The wife bought a set of cheap as chips bath taps from Lidl's last week. They double up as a shower and are thermostatic also. I have a combi boiler. The taps are the dogs danglies especially when in the shower mode. Best £30 that she has spent.

Been trying to buy a house in the last month or so with my fiancé. It has been a very frustrating experience and have lost out on two houses on the closing date. As first time buyers the whole thing is new to us which should be exiting but after missing out on another house on Friday it is pretty demoralising having to go back to square one and look at another few houses then starting the whole thing over again. Think we have three or four viewings this week, hopefully it will be third time lucky for us.

It's stressful and not much fun being first time buyers. The property ladder is a b*****d when starting out. Been there, done that.

You'll find somewhere you both like eventually though. Unfortunately it can be a bit of a waiting game and really try your patience.

Good luck mate.

Cheers. It is the bidding process that has been most frustrating, given that it is a blind set of bids. I know it is like that for a reason but we lost out on our first property that we loved yet could have possibly gone further if we had known what the other bids were sitting at. I understand that is the way things work but it is a bit of a kicker. We are not in a major rush so that makes things a little easier.

Nope, c***s. Bitter they can't afford to live in Bearsden.

Hawl, I'm from Milngavie and I'm a top guy.

Bearsden has more snooty stuck up types who think they're something than Milngavie. Therefore Milngavie > Bearsden.

To be fair, it's you I was thinking of when I said "c***s".

Lost my wallet the other night, luckily there was no cash in it but it did have all my campus cards, casino cards and driving license in it with my national insurance card. Now I'm chasing my tail to get everything sorted.

The annoying thing is I've been told I had it with me in the taxi on the way home, so it must be in a taxi somewhere.

The exact carbon copy thing happened to me on Saturday. Wallet must have fell out of my back pocket in the taxi and it's not been handed into the police station or anything.

Bank cards, student card, driving licence, £70, everything gone.

What irks me is that even if the driver took the money out of the wallet, surely they would return the wallet with all the cards and that since they aren't of any use to them?

Doesn't really matter anyway; cards are cancelled and new ones are on the way. You'd still think they'd do the decent thing though.

First time I've ever lost my wallet, it's an absolute sickener.

Supposedly I was walking about Southampton singing Airdrie songs.

I was blootered in a taxi from the Apex Hotel in Dundee to the Stobswell Bar, also in Dundee.

From a relatively classy establishment to an absolute shitehole area in Dundee. :P

I bet you don't have the bottle to tell Ann that her pubs a shitehole! :lol:

Now now, never said anything about the pub. I love the place, great crowd and Ann is just a gem. She's got a subtle, cold charm about her. :wub:

The surrounding area though is utter w**k; you ever seen the delightful people that queue outside of the pharmacy every morning to get their methadone? Some of the things I've seen...:lol:
