    Wow, productive day :) Do you feel better today?

    I was but DS appeared home feeling unwell - he has boy flu... can see this being a long night.

    How's the sofa looking?

    Boy flu=man flu? :D Very terracotta, I'm pleased as it's the first time I've ever dyed anything :)

    yes, man flu for small folk, he's burning up and shivering at the same time, not nice :( , he's just gone off to bed so fingers crossed he feels a bit better in the morning.

    :T:T:Twell done on the sofa, dyeing for me is either a success or a complete failure - never a happy medium!

    end of may, end of may.... neighbours are REALLY annoying me at the minute. and if DS was ok we wouldn't be in so getting cabin fever already!

    So here I am obsessing over spreadsheets again and planning colour schemes... Six months is nothing...is it? I've been on MSE officially nearly 3 years now after lurking for about six months so it'll fly by...

  • I find thinking about "the day" you want to arrive, that seems so far away, before you know it - it's today!

    Not that wishing your life away is a good thing, but maybe it'll work for you :)

    Thanks for that Lee, I'm trying to visualise living some where else and minus neighbours stereo :) ... There's a very fine line between that and wishing your life away isn't there!

    DS is better but still not good. and I am not nurse material really:o.

    Also if everything is paid in May and ready to go then whether or not I manage to get this place sold I shall be able to afford a summer holiday next year:j:j! Sorry, I know some people think going abroad is a terrible waste of money but I love it:o:D! Different food, seeing new stuff - tis all good.

    Went to dentist today...had to get xrays as it was more than 3 years since I last got any:confused:. I'm 40 now and haven't had dental xrays more than 3 times in all those years:rotfl::rotfl:... think she felt she had to do something so I suppose I should be glad it wasn't a filling for the sake of it!
