    aargh, just phoned the charity furniture shops. One was a call back service, but since I don't know how long they'll take I can't risk it, another wants me to pay for them to take my furniture, and the Salvation Army isn't open till Monday. I think I'll wait for the SA, they're literally round the corner from me, so they should be able to pick the stuff up. If not I'll just have to put it outside and cover it in thick plastic till someone can take it.

  • hello all -

    erin had a football match today... got beat 5-3 in the end but a much more enven game than recent weeks...

    and i did a wee 2 miler between fropping erin off at 10am and the game kicking off.... so i didn't even miss a thing...

    feels great to have gotten run out the way so early in the weekend.

    Bunny - i've heard the watches are pretty pants....
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • You know what, Ames? pania has a great idea. Especially on a nice sunny day like today. i bet someone would pick it up forthwith

  • When is the Liverpool one?
    There is a half marathon in Ironbridge (just down the road from me) in March I think...will do that as it's local.

    I can't just put it outside, because I live in a square and no one would see it apart from the neighbours. Plus I couldn't move it out on my own. I'm going to have to phone round on monday, really hope I can find someone to take it.

    I can't believe it's just taken me two and a half hours to take sister to pick up some tablets and get her car washed, there goes my plans for the afternoon.

    Got to go out again in two hours, but can't get hold of sister to tell her when I'm picking her up, I think tonights plans are just going to fall to pieces.. I think she's regretting staying out till 6.30am last night/this morning since she's got everything to pack today!
