    Linda and Becky have just left, wow they are amazing ladies! My flat looks sooooo much better, and when I've freecycled, sorry, freegled, a load of stuff it'll be just about done.

    Thank you so, so much you two, you were amazing, especially in the kitchen. If I could do a big snazzy thank you like Buffy's I would!

    So, tomorrow I'm staying in all day so people can collect the freecycle stuff and I can rest, then on Monday I can get in touch with the cleaning firm, yay! And in a fortnight when I know my money and budget are sorted I can order the new sofa, which'll make a huge difference.


    Thats Fab Ames, well done Becky and Linda :A

    I forgot to say the best bit - while I was sorting some stuff out I found the necklace and earring set my dad got me for my 21st. I was convinced they'd got lost when I moved, but I found them at the back of a mini drawer unit, I was so happy.

    Well, that was the second best bit, after meeting Linda and Becky of course! And they did it all without commenting at all about how bad the place is.

    DFW really is one of a kind.

    Has someone got a gun so I can shoot that gremlin dog on Xfactor.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It did, it was amazing.

    I still can't believe they came in and just got on with the job - when ex and sister have come to help they've had all kinds of excuses why they can't do things, Linda and Becky did more in two and a half hours than ex did in two and a half years!

    Oh Linda, I've just noticed you left some cleaning stuff behind, I can drop it in to you next time I'm round your way if you want?

  • Ah,that's lovely Ames-well done to Becky and Linda-stars you are!
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
  • Hi. Back from watching the footie. Quite fun but can't believe people do that every week, even when it's freezing and raining. :confused: Nice bums on some of the players. :o
    Just had dinner in the garden and now have a glass of red and am waiting for a friend who is joining me later.
    Life is good if it wasn't so rubbish.

    Yeah, I don't get the sitting around in the freezing rain watching football!

    Ooh, you've just reminded me, I'll have to check my fantasy football team! It's a bit of a mickey take one really, as far as possible the players all used to play for Leeds, or at least a Yorkshire team, so considering that it's not doing too badly!

    Off out in 10 mins though to pick up some freecycle shelves, to further my dream of turning my (big) hallway into a 'library'. Then dinner's probably a good idea.
