Spooky KC, I must have driven past that house yesterday, I think I know which one it is (will drive past s-l-o-w-l-y this morning, lol)! Wonder if they'll have biodegradable balloons outside like a party0

P.S. How was the line dancing?0

God, that sounds really rough. It's only cars round here that end up on bricks...

Good one! I love these open door things, I usually try to visit at least one. You're up *very* early, btw!P.S. How was the line dancing?
BustedErm, by the time I got back from town, I was shattered. Didn't do anything really, just played on the computer. Since I've got the broadband connection back, I've done that a lot
Previously, I was working till about 8, I'd watch a DVD, and then fall into bed at 10pm - I have to stop doing this, actually, I'd really like to get the house straight for winter (because the 2nd toilet isn't done yet, the living room is still a warehouse). I need to go back to something resembling the way I *was* working.

Its ok, I sit at the puter when all around me is looking like the blitz, its allowed sometimes. You have the perfect excuse moving is such an upheaval and you need some "me" time. Enjoy your surfing the warehouse will wait a bit longer.:beer:Visa £[STRIKE]5063 [/STRIKE]now 0. Loan 1 €[STRIKE]4885[/STRIKE] now 0.

I am sitting at the computer with the house looking like the aftermath of a burglary, whenever I clean it stays like that for a millisecond, then descends into chaos very quickly!! DD's upstairs "tidying her bedroom", but really listening to a story on CD and I know I have to do something or I'll get told off, lol.
There's always next week for the line dancing.....or another week.....or anotherI think HH has a belly dancing class too! Take your pick, stetsons or scarves!?!?

In that spirit, I got the dishwasher working yesterday! Only took me 5 days
I emptied it this morning, soaked things that had been sitting on the side for 3 days, and I've put it on again, packed a little more compactly. When I put it on again tonight, and let the stuff dry overnight in situ, like most people do, I'll be up to date :j:j:j
Also unpacking some glass storage jars - the kitchen still isn't in use as a kitchen, which is difficult, so thank god for frozen veg, says I.
Today:
- see if I can go to the eco house, or if its full up I may try the other ones tomorrow, that are more difficult for me to get to.
- Focus DIY - curtain pole, maybe a batten, one of those light extendible shower rails too (the one thats here is disgusting).
- a laptop?
- plus normal shopping.
- and something pleasurable - mind you, the eco house will be fun.
EDIT - you sweet people! Thank you for your support :kisses3::kisses3:2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
OOh, eco house sounds exciting, enjoy yourself! :T
And the tidying will still be there waiting for you when you're off the computer - that's the principle I work on anyway! :rotfl:0 -
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Erm, thats the *problem*, Daffs, not the solution :rotfl:2023: the year I get to buy a car0

KC - if you're going to BH for the Focus shop, try Wilkinson's for the curtain pole and things, and in the covered shopping bit there's also Waitrose and a computer shop that repairs and sells laptops
There's also a gazillion charity shops and a great library, what more does a girl need on a Saturday shopping expedition!0 -
Wilkinsons! You're right! I was going to go there anyway for cheap boring lightshades - there's four hallway bulbs practically on the ceiling, Wilkinsons had something appropriate for £1.50 a go last time I was in there. I didn't know about the computer shop - it sounds like it might be an independent, it would be nice to give the profit on the deal to an indie shop. Thank you!2023: the year I get to buy a car0
