    The blind man has been so that's another job done (and he didn't make any mess).

    Watched Neighbours then got the washing back in, it hasn't dried at all so it's spread round the radiators/airer now.

    Decluttered 60 things now - yay! Feel very chuffed with myself.
    Going to put some jeans on now (why are pyjama bottoms the most comfy trousers?) head up to Ryman's to buy a filofax, Blockbusters to rent a dvd for tonight, buy some stamps, look at books at Blackwells (i have a voucher yay) and drop off my friend's coat that he left the other day.
    Well done for the dentist Crafty xx

    Well done on your 60 item declutter - feels great doesn't it. I'm going to start on my next 60 now because I have to get the children from school soon (after school club so they're late) then madness will resume in this house! So, head start here I come ...
  • :mad: ***Rant alert***:mad:
    I am sorry to moan but I have wound myself up about this, it's so frustrating... My mum has a dropped kerb outside her house and a driveway, where she parks her car, she is a short distance to the town centre and as she lives in a dead end, people often park there and walk in to catch the train to work (no parking costs).
    This is normally fine, but some idiot has parked over her drive, completly blocking her in and she hasn't been able to get out all day - he still hasn't returned from 8am this morning - what an ignorant !!!!!!!!!!
    She has called the police and there is nothing they can do, as he is only causing an obstruction to her, no-one else (if he was blocking the road they could move him) and the council have said the same - so whats the point of paying for a dropped kerb if it doesn't mean anything??? I want to go round and ram him out of the way, but Mum says no...:mad: She won't let me wait round there for him either - I don't want her to be alone when she faces him (aparently he is a young guy, music blaring when he pulled up, she is 67) but the neighbours are all there for her, she is in a good neighbourhood and they all stick together, so she will be fine, plus my DD & DS are there too, so might be better if I'm not there, as I might make matters worse...

    Sorry, rant over, I'm just sooooo mad, I was pacing the floor.... She's on her own and relies on her car so much...

    On flying front, I've cleared the kitchen completly now and was just about to do the floor and finish when she called.... OK, off to take it out on the vacuum and mop... then I can clean out the vacuum filters and I'm done... (except paperwork, always have paperwork...:o )
