Posh tonight!:p



Kitchen REALLY bad:D! 1970s I think although cooker looks 50/60s... I won't be able to get mortgage free while studying and I won't be able to move either so I really need to make the most of this place I think:D Kitchen is last big job...

I painted the cupboard doors, put new handles and new light fittings. You can do a lot if the cupboard carcasses are ok.

Nah, carcasses all wrong sizes and lots of glue on show! Good news is that the nice plumber who came round the other day does kitchens so will have a word with him nearer the time - need to wait til college finishes.

Pressies Z, pressies

DS has decided to do the ironing for me which is good but slooooooow!

Have a look at past work. There's not much overlap between the skill set of a joiner and a plumber.

Who cares how long it takes? Or do you have a pantingly desperate deadline to put away desperate pants?

Should have said - it's a plumbing & joinery company.

Thought I could declare a NSD there but remembered hankies and snowballs - whoops low spend day perhaps?

I ran - no cute men - went out for a big walk with DS, and came back and made butter chicken (very yummy), now about to walk to my folks to burn off some more of that butter...

Starting feel a bit more positive, not long til shortest day now then we can look forward to the nights getting longer again:D! was dark when I came home about 4pm earlier.

Got new book, so skiving not studying but I will be good, had long chat earlier to DS's dad so that was nice too. All good today:D

Don't forget the shortest day is also the day the world ends

It does happen to be the day I personally celebrate new year as well... But that's cause I'm weird like that

Twas delicious not the healthiest but I did walk run at least ten miles throughout the day so felg it balanced itself out!

I forgot world was ending then, mmm... got exams in jan should I study or not?:think:

elantan

Nah ... No point... Might as well procrastinate some more

I mean if the world was to say NOT end you could always say to the examiner " but we're not meant to be here the world has ended"

I'm sure they will buy that
