    List up... now I'm off to bed..

    I've still done nowt today.. and I don't care.. :p

    My house is an absolute pigpit.. I MUST get at least my bedroom organised before the weekend as I have a new bed on its way! I have new bedding.. apart from duvet cover.. and my new bed has built in storage.. mine is held up by stuffed tesco crates!!

    I have decided the bedding will be sorted and placed in the underbed storage and the shelf unit the bedding is currently on will do in the shed.. the crates of stuff will then need to be relocated.. and a chest of drawers is going where the shelves are at the moment.. BUT.. it means I have to move almost every single item in my room to do it... I need a week off!! Is it nearly christmas holidays yet?

    Ladies - thank you all for the completion vibes. DiL has just got in from work (she's on lates) and said "the money's been transferred" but doesn't know if that means it's completion yet. She's then talked to DS [STRIKE]telling[/STRIKE] asking him to take the whole day off work tomorrow so he can pick up the keys. He's told her politely-ish that no, he'll go in for the morning and see about picking up keys at lunchtime.

    I've had enough and am off to my bed!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
