Glad you could join in MOJ2 - how did you get on?

I emptied the kitchen bin ready for washing, emptied the green sink bin (compost stuff) and put out some papers
emptied the DW, filled it and its on
WM on
cleared half the work surfaces ready for cleaning
and then the phone went!!!!

need at least 3 more HHCs as I dont work as fast as some of you (age thingy!!) so let me know when the next one is - its far better having someone else to work alongside IYSWIM!!

Not doing well so far but had to show you this, I was being nosey at other rentals available and spotted this http://www.pattinson.co.uk/Public/content/Rent/Estate-Agents/Property-To-Let/9685.htm seriously you'd tidy up the work surfaces wouldn't you? Caught my eye as it's £100 a month cheaper but half the house I think aswell...

Right, must do some more work, ttfn..

Feel free, plenty of flakes to share too! I will warn you now though that this is the only 'done' room, the rest of the house is in a 60/70s time warp with dry rot and wood worm problems. Classic case of obscene mortagge to buy dream property and then absolutely nothing left to fix it with. We did the snug and keep it clean so we have somewhere nice to escape to. No children allowed.

Tooti - the stove is great, I am currently burning what was the second staircase , better than it going into landfill I suppose.

Lil Me - I wonder if the landlord had told them they were going round to take pictures? Surely you couldn't leave it like that for photos? Wouldn't you miss your great big kitchen and conservatory?

Mmmmm think I've just had one of those 'voice recorded lie detector' phone calls with the insurance company. I was asked very specific questions re me and the car!

No worries though as I obviously wasn't lying.

I presume that insurance companies are really being careful with claims - dare I say due to the economic climate there maybe a rise in claims - anyway they also asked if I would give permission to let them speak to the DVLA on a conference call. Basically DVLA asked me a few personal details and then the insurance company asked if my licence was clean and full, yes, said the DVLA.

Gawd they are thorough, they now want to speak to OH as he's a named driver.

Anyway they said the car is a write off so will arrange for a salvage company to pick it up.:j

Saves me a real headache to be honest. They did say that I had been given the wrong info re getting it towed to a garage.


So hopefully it'll get sorted asap. Then it's just a question of finding a cheap runaround for work. *sighs* I really liked that little car.
