The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Morning everyone!

Well done on the exam passing and dont envy you packing the room up, is a nightmare here trying to get this flat sorted!

Overslept this morning and have so much to do. The electric went off in the middle of the night so my alarm didnt go off, nightmare!!!

My uncle rang lastnight to tell me they are passing through the area and could they stop here tonight, now usually i wouldnt mind but this flat is an embarrassment at the minute! There are boxes everywhere, piles of rubbish thet need taking to the tip and piles that we havent decided whether to keep or not. Hes getting here about 6pm so need to get the place looking half decent by then.

On the plus side OH got paid more than we expected so can pay a bit more off the credit cards. Think im going to have to start setting myself a date to update my sig every month so i can keep track of whats what. So 1st of every month it will be updated.

Dinah thats exciting about the stall, but scary at the same time! Im sure you would make the money back pretty quickly though.

Oooh, exciting stuff about the stall Dinah! I'll keep an eye out for craft fairs and let you know if I come across any. Do you have pictures of your paintings yet? I'm feeling nosey!
What a nightmare about the alarm not going off and your uncle wanting to stay tonight Flower! May I suggest big blankets to throw over the rubbish and tell him it's an experimental art installation!

:rotfl::rotfl:Good idea! To be fair they know that we are moving soon and i have told them the place will be a mess, but i just hate people coming in when its a tip, so i want to try and make it as presentable as possible.
Im quite good at tidying up quickly when needs be. I cant change the fact that there are boxes everywhere though but should be fine.
And i seem to work in half hour boosts of energy, so you'll probably see me popping up here every half an hour :rotfl:

Right, I will be good this weekend Birdie and I promise I will take some photos of my paintings and post them, then you all have to be polite and pretend they're good!

Birdie85

Good girl Dinah! And I'm sure we won't have to be polite when we're saying how good they are!

I am sure we will think they are fantastic!

Aww the plot NIM and I liked in Yarm has sold. I'm going to hope an even better one comes up in one of the nearby villages soon! There is a great one in our village, but at 500k, its a little out of our budget! Could build about 6 houses on it though.

Oh I forgot my very exciting news! I've been asked to do some cakes for a birthday on 9th August! He's told me to name my price but I'm going to work out materials cost and ask for that, then if he likes them he can tip me

Flower08

If you need someone to test the cakes first.....:D

Well the flat is looking ok now, managed to get the boxes stacked up in the corner of the living room and give the place a good tidy.

Birdie85

Ooh, exciting stuff Dinah! Although you should maybe add a little extra to the cost- for labour and love!
Why isn't it 4pm yet? This day is dragging so much! I'm getting my nails done after work and then I plan on sitting on the sofa and dozing all night!
