    I agree - there're buckets of the stuff.

    Dump runs today. Used a Dell Printer box (huge) for all the paper to be recycled...duh can't lift it now :rotfl:

    Old cane furniture going to dump too and some black bags. Then another 10 boxes of books and a new office chair up to the shop. Should be a fun lug it about day. :eek:

    Essay written today and a business plan to do tomorrow.

    My brother is visiting with his son which is always stressful. They're over at Grandad's and he's either nipping out or feigning heart murmurs to be left alone. We are the complete opposite of the warm loving families so loved by American TV. Maybe I should start the scripts for Anti-Waltons.

    Tesco man brought the main monthly shop so that's £242 down before we start. Must try and eek out the remaining £108 over the month. Should be lots be I think I should be allowed to count OH and SB as at least 2 normal people each...SB is a locust in human form.

    Still cogitating on a stationery thread - great pencils I have known, me and my highlighter, ruled feint and margin or bare, unfettered paper???

    On the rents front, actually down about £250 from last months total. Warning letters of court action send to two and going in the Sheriff Offices today to start a formal claim. Bit nervous, never done this before but the £2k in my £2k not his...Beanie Boy is being brought to book!!

    Beanie Boy ran up £2,000 of rent arrears and went to live at mate's flat when his electricity ran out. When I got the place back the fridge and freezer contents had been festering for 3 weeks!! It wasn't pretty.

    So court papers filed...a lot easier than I thought. Chances of seeing a penny probably about zero.

    Also threatened Debt Collection firm with Trading Standards after I caught them lying and they refunded my fees this week...I was very pleasantly surprised - f***ing gobsmacked to be honest.

    Phoned OU about next course only to be told papers had to be in by this Friday. The ones they sent last Monday hadn't arrived yet so lady emailed everything I needed over. Filled them in and drove up to Edinburgh tonight to post them through the door. So at least that's done and dusted and I know they have them.

    I'nm struggling to see how I fitted work in round all this :rotfl:
