    You poor thing! Quite right too, to be lazy after a day like that :(

    Your photos are really good - the difference (in the right direction) is amazing.

    Hope you feel better today.

    Thanks KC :)

    Much more relaxed day today, someone round for a bathroom quote, really hoping one of them gets back to me with a price and date soon, that's the last contractor. Haircut, lunch and a movie. Now trying to convince myself to get off the couch and do the last coat of gloss :o

    _____________________________________________________

    Back to work this week, been struggling to wake up :o Did well on Monday, came in after work and cleared out a bunch of drawers, but then done nothing the past few days, it's hard to motivate yourself to make dinner, clean up and do everything when you don't get in until 7PM.

    Today's been a bit of a nightmare, got hit by a van while stationary at a roundabout, my poor wee car. Drove to work, spent a good 60 minutes on phone to various place, thank goodness for understanding workplaces.

    Bathroom guy came today to replace the bath panel, good thing he did, turns out the overflow pipe was disconnected and there was a nice wee loch under there.

    Also burnt my forehead on my straighteners so that's my three for today :)

    Hope all are well?

    Very true!

    _____________________________________________________

    Weekend has been very uneventful so far, just tidying, occasional reminiscing over photos/items, and lots and lots of binbags. Listed two items on £b@y that I would have normally chucked.

    Didn't do much today, lost all my puff around 3pm :o Still, I guess better slowly than never.

    Can't remember who's diary I saw this on, but they suggested taking a picture of an item if it has sentimental value but you don't really use/need it anymore, this is absolutely brilliant, I've taken a bunch of pictures of things I would normally have kept and backed them up online, allowing me to let go and bin them.

    Off to relax, hope everyone had a good Saturday,

    I've not disappeared but not much to update, pottering along, getting rid of many, many bookcases worth of books (oops) as part of the moving cleanup, about to buy a hoover, thrilling times :)

    Hoover bought through MSE cheapo link.

    Box of books offloaded to friend. Another box worth on its way to W3BuyB00k$ - £40 or so to moving fund. Still 2 bookcases worth of books left O_O Need to see if any charity shops want some.

    Trying to find motivation to do some more today or at this rate it'll be 2018 before we move!
