    36 jobs to do and thats without all the last minute stuff that you can only do on the day.

    Bet you're glad you're paying for the full removal service now, or you'd be in serious **** now.

    I said that very thing to my partner yesterday, you're right :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The list is a weird mix - the plan is to *have* no last minute things. I won't write the whole thing down, but its things like, cleaning each room and the hall - they're all separate entries, not just "cleaning". Each patio is a separate entry (I have 3, about 4 - 5 feet wide, because the garden is so steep). Decluttering clothes and books and magazines again is 3 entries. I *have* to update my website for work - the email addy is out of date, and soon the phone and the address will be :o and thats kind of unacceptable :o

    Anyway, I've done the hooks in the bathroom! I forgot that I'm taking the lightpull thing thats on the electric shower, its a silver-coloured sun, its lovely, I'm not losing that, so that will be done when I've gone shopping - but that won't take long compared to fiddling about with screwdrivers and finding screws like I just have. I've also started packing the "first box" - the one with paper plates, couple of tins of beans, that sort of thing.

    And I'm going to reward myself with bbc iplayer - Have I Got News For You lives on :)

    Have a good rest-of-the-evening.

    12 days to go and you are sounding so calm compared to when you actually started to put your house on the market - that holiday was just what you needed ;).

    DH has his blood tests today so hope to know more Friday, but he has now gone down with major sickness bug :eek: . I forsee a very long night ahead - hence I topped up on some magazines when I fetched some R Whites full sugar lemonade for him :shhh:

    You've got a few jobs to do there but am sure you'll get them all done in time.

    Thats true, isn't it - once the decision has been made, I suppose. I've left this house already in my head, I just pray nothing goes wrong with the sale.

    Ooh, that doesn't sound good, sorry to hear that. My partner cancelled our meet yesterday, he's come down with gastric flu - maybe there's something going around :( antiseptic hand gel, thats another thing to buy today.

    Today could be a funny old day. Couldn't sleep (didn't get any exercise yesterday, thats why) so I've been up for a couple of hours, and the phone engineer could call any time before midday. And I was supposed to be working on the phone today, so thats cancelled, and I have no paid work. So *if* the engineer comes, and *if* he fixes the phone, I have some urgent/regular phone calls that must be done at some stage.
    - conveyancer.
    - client calls from while it was out of order.
    - doctor
    - sister
    - mum.

    And I've decided I really do want to get my hair cut before the weekend :o trimmed at least, so off into town I go:
    - hair cut
    - bank
    - charity shop
    - post Dell cartridges to Tesco.
    - buy lightpull.
    - buy one of those big tartan bags for transporting current bedding.
    - buy thanks cards - ooh, I have some notelets I can finally use. Not wonderful, but quite nice.

    That'll do for now.




    EDIT - oh no it won't ... thats all for after the engineer's been. Okay, for now - write out the thanks cards, and start one of the to-do jobs - my choices for today are to pack boxes and take down the stuff I've blu taked to the inside of cupboard doors.
