Well, I went to the local with my friend . We arranged to take part in the quiz night. We actually won !:rotfl:
We won £10 . Not many people taking part. Great night

Hi Georgina
Please excuse my short term memory loss. Whereabouts in the world are you ?
You definitely have my sympathy if you are struggling in this weather.
I saw tips like putting pillowcases in the fridge or was it freezer?
If i was living in London again , a ceiling fan would be essential .
I have my dyson desk fan and it does a better job than expected .however they are expensive as you know . Ice cold showers are something I like sometimes .. . So far though I've not gone down that route yet

Thanks AC

I'm in North West London (Zone 4). Unfortunately we rent our flat and there are lots of restrictions on what we can & cannot install, so no ceiling fan allowed (that would be the dream!). But I've put big fans on either side of the bed so its like being in a wind tunnel.
Cold showers are good too, I'm not quite brave enough for ice cold but who knows what I'll turn to if the weather gets hotter!
I haven't tried the pillowcases in the freezer trick, another one to add to the list.

Hi Georgina

Hope you are coping today. Only a couple more days and then temperature drops

I went to the shops and straight back in again . Too much today .
All this heat is making me lazy.

Thanks AC, I feel much better today because I'm back in the office and have been able to crank up my air conditioning. Weather like this makes me feel like doing overtime

I've been meaning to do some exercise in the flat or go to the gym in the mornings but just had no energy or motivation to do it when it is so hot. Maybe when the temp drops (but to be honest, I probably won't!).

I love living down south by the coast. We were only saying the other day as we had lunch overlooking the Plymouth Sound that people retire down here and we are lucky to live here. I am sure though that Derbyshire is also beautiful LL - don't want to start a north v south war

Don't worry ....I won't be starting a north south war.

I have lived in Spain, the south west of England, and "north of the wall":rotfl: I can be happy anywhere.

I believe we should all be able to "bloom where we are planted". Life is what we make it, wherever we live.

It's my 66th birthday today.....- wahoo, the sun is shining, I am covered in paint and as happy as a pig in muck. :rotfl:

A weekend of celebrations is on the horizon......:D

Happy birthday LL.

anna_1977 · 6 July 2017 at 4:20PM

Happy birthday LL - hope you have a lovely day and enjoy the weekend

I finish work tomorrow for 8.5 weeks - can't wait..... roll on 5pm tomorrow

another_casualty · 6 July 2017 at 4:53PM

Happy birthday LL :T:j
Glad the rest of you are feeling good today

James has been and gone . He did a great job of hanging my basses on various walls in the flat . He fixed my tv on the wall .
He also fixed the kitchen cupboard to accommodate more stuff .

Not sure about the tv unit . I may have to put it on fleabay and get something a bit less wide and a bit more square . The one I currently have , is a nice black glass one but oval shaped .
I'll browse online and decide .

The way things are, it looks like ( tv unit aside), the living room is completed. I just have to do a basic tidy up in there .
Hallway should be clear tomorrow a m when I dump a few bags into the recycling bin .
Bathroom ? All done. Just need to vacuum and give the floor a grntle wash .
Kitchen ? Just needs a tidy up . Oh, I intend to put a few pictures on the wall once I get frames .
Main bedroom ? Just needs a tidy up . Again , I need to put a couple of pics up once I get frames .
Gas room ? Well 3 basses are on 2 walls . Needs tidy up .
James is coming back on mon/ tues to put another shelf up.
I would say that this time next week I'll be tearing through the 10,000 box files .

The flat still has crates but I feel that after the weekend, I'll be in control .
Once that's done , then 90+% are going straight on fleabay .

A warm ,lazy inspirational day

enthusiasticsaver · 6 July 2017 at 5:21PM

Sounds like all coming along nicely AC. Get those crates and boxfiles sorted over next few weeks and you will be there or almost. Lots of shredding or look into LLs suggestion of confidential waste collection and destroy service.

another_casualty · 6 July 2017 at 7:05PM

Thanks enthusiastic .:) will be on the case doing something.

So, I put the turntable onto the tv stand . I've just done something very mse I've decided to keep the stand I already have :T
Need cable tidy asap tho . Hopefully they have some in wilko.
Need to get some compressed air in a can . I know I'm full of it , but I need it to clean various electrical stuff. Again , I'll see if wilko do some
Now to give my brain a rest

I've quit everything. Now what ?
