    Jo I agree with the others, serves him right!
    phil really interesting about sleep, I'm actually finding it easier to wake allowing a little daylight in through the blinds with the lighter mornings, unfortunately the children are now up with the larks too! So from this I can see why those 'daylight' lamps work.
    rach honey ((hugs)) it's not nice seeing you so down, please don't apologise for it because you need to vent somewhere x Hope you have a lovely weekend with your Mum and sister. Oh and I love that poster!
    embb sorry to hear that honey
    soappie she probably does understand you :) mine does!
    mummyyof5 I was sure that said 'picked up some mice' hehe well done on the decluttering!
    JillD superglue them on :D it's the only way hehe!
    Mudbath well done to DD, wow!
    Triker, bit far but spare bed here if you need it ((hugs)) oh erm....give me a bit of notice to clear it first :o
    ZCC72, designer bags yes. Large items might be worth free ads paper first which are more local www.adtrader.co.uk but yes people do look on Freecycle for collect only items.

    Been a bit of a busy day, I did try to catch up earlier but read so much it was time to go before I could post :o

    Just paid gas bill with company I am switching from, in 2 minds now if I should have. Was dated reads from 4th but a few out, only 3 but it's still 3 units... will check what the new one starts on when it arrives.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Went for my walk... had a cuppa... gossipped... stayed for supper... chatted some more... got back here at 11.30 :eek: Have clingfilmed cakes (no time to ice, will have to do it tomorrow :o ), made breakfast and lunch for tomorrow, loaded and set off DW, cleared and wiped kitchen surfaces and done one set of physio catching up on thread.

    Now need to make hot water bottles, do rest of physio, locate gym kit for tomorrow morning, work out what to wear so I can pack. Tomorrow's meetings aren't too high-powered so it doesn't have to be a suit at least! I just hate having to decide :rolleyes:

    I'll catch up with you all tomorrow evening, and hopefully will do my last couple of jobs from Mon/Tues so I can get a star or two in before the weekend!

    Hi,

    Hope everyone's well & had a good day. The conference that I attended today was really informative. Basically, the mental health services in the area wanted to meet with service users & their carers to ask what we thought of the services. I was out of the bungalow from 8.15am-5pm :eek: BUT when I returned home DH had done most of the dailies :A & I did a few as well, so the bungalow doesn't look too bad.

    Emily - glad you enjoyed the conference.

    Looks like it's going to be another nice day once the mist clears. Glad I had the foresite to put some washing out on the line last night.

    I really must do some flying tonight when I get home.

    Littley wet the bed last night so have been up since 4am - stripped his bed and washed it - had to clean everything. Got back to bed at 5am, but he was in my bed with me - and he sleeps starshaped :rolleyes: - so have had very little sleep since then - am so tired.......just what i need (have v. important meeting today)

    Anyway just popping in quickly to see what room we are on today, so i can start before i go to work.

    ZCC - it was me who sold the wm on ebay - it was picked up last night. I have also sold a double bed and 2 bedside cabinets. What are the handbags - send me more details by PM as i am interested!!! :D

    Im also putting my choos on ebay - when i can bear to part from them.....

    One of the options on Ebay is Collect Only - which you can pick and then the buyer knows they have to come and pick it up. PM me and i will help you.

    Better get up and get ready for work xxxx
