    Morning KC I had to laugh, I do the same, tidy like mad before someone is coming and that is really how I'd like the place to look all the time. Were all a bit funny like that arent we?:rotfl: Shuffles off to get tidying before friends arrive this aft.;)

    Bit of a tip at the mo, cos I've been to-ing and fro-ing.

    Different day today - I was going to see a very long term friend in London, she's an absolutely wonderful person to talk to, but something she said on the phone when we were prepping made me realise how much I was in denial about the energy it would need. So I cancelled, sadly, but after a *lot* of thought, decided to keep a mystery shop I'd booked to do at a train station. I went there on the bus (its a lot nearer for me than the train, and the same price, I think), and my costing was that for a net outlay of 50p, I'd get a few hours out of the house in another town, and a free lunch thrown in - I even took my own flask of tea to make sure.

    Except ... when I got there, I used the wrong cafe, i.e. on the wrong platform, I was *so* annoyed. Well, kind of - actually I thought it was pretty silly of me :) Still, I got to look at one of the roads on rightmove that I'm ogling. like this one, realistically priced, as they say : http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-24115447.html , tho this is actually a bit further down the pole than I'd like. But the road is gorgeous - its literally 5 minutes to the train station and the Sainsbury hypermarket, and there's a pedestrian cut through to the big sports centre there, which has classes and whatnot - and yet its a really peaceful location. Thats the real reason I went, that and to get out of the house for a little while and not burn myself out.

    Mission Accomplished!

    I like the *look* of the first house, but it is surely more about location, this move?

    Absolutely - and that first house is quite a way away from the station - which is important not only for clients, but for me. I haven't even made an appointment yet with the estate agent to come round and take detailed notes of this place, so its not too crucial yet, but I'm keeping on looking.

    Trust you :rotfl: The other one has a shed, you know!

    I've had a fairly rubbish evening so far - very difficult to input the mystery shop, the whole form didn't want to display, and that means logging in and out half a dozen times, blah blah, boring ...

    Anyway, done it now - also been discussing with my sister about going to see Paul McCartney - guess what I'll be doing at 9am tomorrow :D

    Hypno's under the duvet, I'm going to slob about as well, with a cuppa tea.

    Sleep well, all.

    I agree, we do need a bit of fun in our lives occasionally!

    I have to go into town today, and I'm hoping the programme for the local festival is now available - I'm *definitely* going to book some events, and make sure I go to a few free ones.
