    Valli won't believe you... she thinks we're all after him ;)

    Toots - I've already got 5 (or is it 6.. or 7?) people working for me! The work just seems to increase to fill the available time. It doesn't help that I keep putting them off, but I'm going through a phase of being fed up about having to work the hours I do. If I wasn't working so much, I wouldn't be on the PC... so I'd spend less time on here too!

    Well done on the ebay stuff... Don't put anything back in your bedroom that needs ebaying. Keep it out so you have to do it - little and often and you'll soon get it sorted. Why are you going to see the dragon?

    I'll try to be in this week as it's half term. Like you Summermoon, we are in the process of moving house too. We're only moving to the next road around, but I am going to be left to do all of the decorating etc on my own by the looks of things as OH will be at work. Will have to think about what colours I'm going to decorate each of the rooms - study, spare bedroom, living room and kitchen. I know that our bedroom will be cream again, so will have to check we have enough paint left over from when we last decorated, if not, will have to buy some more. Our carpets are a golden colour and our sofas are a pinky stone colour. Hope they don't clash!

    Well off to bedskis for me. OH was tucked up about 2hours ago, and I've been sat here listening to music and playing puzzlebook.

    See you all later,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
