    Just had a shouting match with an absolute [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] in the street while walking LO home from school! I was crossing the road on a one way street when he comes flying up it the wrong way gesturing for me to move! I yelled that he was going the wrong way and he reverses back to me shouting that he is in the right and he is going the right way, there is a blue arrow at the end, erm no that would be a No Entry sign mate:mad: What an A hole, self righteous little s0d, 'Trust me, i'm in the right' he said, lol. Good thing hubby wasnt there as he would probably have dragged him from the car to show him the no entry sign and then wrapped him round it.


    Rant over:D He made me very angry!

    Level 3
    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
    Sort through a cupboard and fling everything that is dead
    Air the duvet
    Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

    1. 31 fling boogie time, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter
    2. Clean the sticky hand prints off the wall ALL the way up the stairs!
    3. Clean windows in these rooms
    4. sort your own shoe and bag collection. I am thinking of getting s display shelf or 300 for my favourite shoes!
    Not a lot as you can see. I'm just having a cuppa then i'd better crack on.

    I've got an item on Ebay still has about 5 days to go, collection only, start price 4.99 no bids 5 watchers. I've had a message from someone saying they'll give me £12 to end it early. Now i've had a look at completed listings and £12 is the very maximum this item has sold for. I'm not even sure i'd get £12 if i let the auction run. I don't like ending things early though it feels a bit dodgy. What does everyone think?

    Oh dear, how easy it is to become side-tracked and then dispirited, LOL.

    In my HHC:
    • Shredded for longer than 5 mins, but then shredder overheated again.
    • Put shredded paper and newspaper into soak in readiness for DH to make paperbricks
    • Swept up outside
    • Cleaned the sink .. and underneath it *yuk* and shoved the pedestal back into place so that it looks like it's attached!
    • Cleaned the back of the loo and started to deep dust the carpet ....
    • Cleaned the taps on the bath, but not yet the bath
    • Found the hoover
    • Stripped and taken the spare bedding downstairs (not enough for a white load yet)
    • Put away extraneous bottles and potions from bathroom
    • Checked that washing is drying nicely, it is :j
    • Looked in the greenhouse, noticed slugs and ran away.
    I'm going to do another HHC at 13:45 and in that, my pure focus is the bathroom, along with just a little shredding, as I'm nearing the bottom of the current pile!

    I would tend to say I'll end it when you have been round to pay in cash and collect it. That way the auction is still running if they don't turn up and if they do then you can end it early using 'item no longer available' option.
