Wol's Riverbank tales: Part 3 Restoration

Horace

No I didnt do the ticket splitting - I never thought about it..anyway its done now and I am £40 lighter than when I got up this morning. I have looked at the route and I enter London on the Finchley Road making a stop at Finchley Station which is different to Golders Green.

I have a lot on my mind at the mo so faffing around with coach tickets didnt even register on my radar...sigh.

No air biscuits please - I was at a BBQ at a friends house on Saturday and their yorkshire terrier (ancient thing) was dropping air biscuits constantly so it stunk to high heaven.

Oooh - I am so happpy I inadvertantly "un-subscribed" myself from my own diary :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Dare I hope - I have just recieved a message from CC disputes saying they are "temporarily" crediting my account for the value of the (carp) oak flooorboards and are awaiting input from the merchants bank :j:j:j:j


Doesn;t appear to be as much progress this week on the house - BUT...

I now have all the wallpaper up. :j:jJust need to do the snagging (filling, siliconing etc etc) before the final gloss coat is put on all the paintwork, the kitchen and utility wallls are final coated..... and the dust cover/cardboard protection is removed to reveal the house in all it's glory (minus carpets - over to you Numpty Hun )

I am currently running back to back cleaning cycles on the dishwasher as it is rather stinky _pale_

Tomorow I am going to clean the oven and try it for the first time :eek:

Piggies are out in the runs today - garden is growing up well - Ginger is back from the vets tonight and does NOT have a urine infection (surprise surprise - the vet nurses were so pleased to see him and slobbering all over him today -and didn;t want to give him back :eek:- that mischevious guinea clearly knows which side his grass is watered :rotfl::rotfl:)

Grommie is currently maintaining his (lower) weight and I am hoping we can, in time, get him back up to over a kilo as he is very thin/frail

Nearly got all the booze for The Rave sorted and stashed in PP -next is food (already half way there courtesy of Aunite Smashed :T) and also prepare list on the furniture shifting/setting up pretty lighting/Numpty;s DJ list etc etc...HOrace and Numpty please note

I now have a Bouncy Castle coming for the kids (that will also [STRIKE]accommodate[/STRIKE] put up with ONE adult at a time :cool:)...but be warned folks - I have already appointed a bounc[STRIKE]er[/STRIKE]y castle monitor :rotfl::rotfl:

Oh goodness - it's all coming together and I;m really looking forward to finally reclaiminng my life in the company of my very dear friends

All sounding very positive.

It is all sounding very positive Wol. I spent part of today talking to a complete stranger and assisting her with work issues - I think that I helped her gain some perspective on things.

I had a call from one of my friends today and she asked me if I wanted to be a tutor because she has been asked to put some courses together which need to be taught - I agreed that I would be one so now I need to do a PTLL course to allow me to teach and then I will do either the CTLL or DLL after that. This will mean money coming in and I need money coming in as opposed to flowing out.:eek: One cannot live on the odd mystery shop and PK LV.

I shall have a look and see if I have any more old towels that I could slip into my bag for Ginge & Co. Isnt he naughty to wangle a visit to the V E T?

Fingers crossed that the rain doesn't fall too heavy and/or that all the defences do their job Wol.
