    Yep I thought you meant it was feeling small and scaly like mine does this morning... but then I didn't think Bob would have done a seminar on that :rotfl:

    My builder has finally showed up to finish off the immersion heater work (from about a year ago :o mea culpa, not his). Exciting :j and I managed to say politely that I need the wood that makes up the shelf knocked back in (made good) hurray.

    And he's brought the first quote for the wall - £3695 + VAT.....

    Oh God, the embarrassment....... okay, I'll confess. My spiders are big and meaty. I hate them. And yet, their remnants are on some of the ceilings, where I whacked them one and never cleared up ..... thats what I'm referring to as spider crap. I am *hugely* embarrassed about this - it goes way beyond slovenliness. And I swear, I will *never* let my next place get anything like approaching this, and I'll not let *this* place sink into that level of apathy and revoltingness again, either. I'd really rather it was what El had imagined, the actual crap from spiders. Speaking of which, where *do* spiders crap? They must do it somewhere? In the carpets? The roof space? Oh my word......

    Well, further to that - the builder and his electrician have come and gone, and I've vacuumed the floor after them and put my stuff back into the immersion cupboard. I now have a shiny new SAFE immersion heater, for emergency useage, in case the gas boiler failed.

    My lists today are going well - got one list of bits to do today, and a list of what has to be done before the estate agents on Thursday.

    I might have to delete this post later, for the sheer embarrassment factor, but I'll leave it up here for now.........

    Thanks El! You're a *very* kind person. I reached it yesterday, I could have reached it before.... still, thats over, not going to be like that any more.

    Just going to vacuum around there so I can tick another thing off my list, and then I have a training thing in the afternoon, so I'll be back later on.

    Have a good one.

    Hello :hello: Welcome! You're absolutely right - and I do that whenever I can. The place with the worst squished bodies is my bedroom - because its late at night when I go to bed, and I'm conscious of the neighbours, I don't want to be running the vacuum for 3 or 4 mins, which is what I do to cope with the situation normally.

    Off to do the new bingo.....
