It must be really drafty in your house at the moment, then.

Well they're meant to be doing all the work tommorrow morning, removing old door, putting in new door.

I'm dubious personally, but I'm notb au fait with the intricacies of door fitting technology.

Ah but will this one close properly?

It better do for what I'm paying for it...

Is it just the door or the whole front bit?

Hm, who else thinks this might be reason for a party?

You're just jealous that I'm getting a new door and I'm not! So there! Neeeer! I have a door and you don't.

Erm, yes. Sad.

Speaking of getting out, is EB on for friday?

EB?

Argh, I'd love to come along but I really need the Saturday to get my place in order, it's a hellhole which I won't be able to do if I go down to London. And, it might be possible I have to work on Saturday, urk. Nah, I better work a little longer each day than to sacrifce a holy weekend.
In the evening I'm planning to go to Oxford to Caroline's and Simon's engagement party.
Reminds me, need to ask Krys or Chris for crashspace.
Then there's Reading 'ling on the Sunday as well.

Sounds... good, really... yeah. I just hope it doesn't squeak when you open it, going out to the garage near Tesco's at 8:30 in the morning without trying to wake up several other people from the living room is a hard job to do, but I didn't care because I'm mean and nasty and they all slept through it anyway.

Knocker atm, doorbell will be fitted, it was meant to be - but as these things go, wasn't.
