Mudders you have made me cry - I so could not do what you are doing but am so glad that you can if you see what I mean x

I have sorted the cupboard and have made space to keep the wii stuff in there by getting a bag of crayons/wooden templates that never get used (grown out of out) to give to toddler group

HHC on my massive family room hot spot now.

AF has just knocked on the door so mooncup ahoy and I'll be less teary and have more energy tomorrow

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...

Hi all, just got back as ended up going with my Mum and got nothing done which is why I was catching up in the first place. Never mind, did get to spend some time with my Mum so that's always good.

Lil_me must ask, why is there a picture of a bathroom window, and in the bedrooms it just seems like windows and then theres the back door plus the hall door - do you think they have a window and door fettish???;) :rotfl: :rotfl:

And even on a rental, you could hide most of that in the sink, or even just push it to one side for the photo couldn't you... amazing how some people want to sell or rent their homes.... (just don't look at my house with a camera - can often be found in similar situation, but I'm not selling or renting - thats my excuse )

Dunno, anyone know where I can get a car for less than £350

Do you know anyone who is 'knowledgeable' about cars? because if you do you can get some real bargains at auction, but I would take someone with you as you can check them out first then.

We have one at Chelmsford and some good little runarounds often go for that sort of price there (obviously old, but still good for a few miles yet - bit like me! :rotfl: )

Triker try round the back of local garages, most send trade ins to auction but they tend to sit out the back until they have a few, only thing against you is the price of scrap. www.adtrader.co.uk I have used before aswell. www.autotrader.co.uk can be worth a nosey. ebay too, I got my Jeep off there a couple of years ago.

Mudbath ((hugs))

chunky well done for being a lovely friend x

Was feeling a bit down earlier as did loads this morning but have got nowhere fast this afternoon, then checked off my list and I'm all done, so really chuffed.

Only things not done are mucking out the fridge - did at the weekend
Clean oven - again already sparkling from last week (did s&s the hob)
medicine cupboard - already done (have to, as I have so many pills they don't fit in otherwise...)

I even cleaned the kitchen windows this morning, that was before I checked the list, as they were filthy where the dogs keep jumping up the door, so did all 4 while I was there (they're not very big)

So now I can get on and tidy the office/spare room and clear my desk as I really want to make an effort this week on my business, do my business plan and check out some potential clients...

Polkadot really glad that BL was helpful for you - that reminds me, I was given a brilliant business plan package from my advisor that I will try to PM you - just helps you to see where you want to go and if you are on the right track - they will help you complete it if you're not sure...
