    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Well I'm another day neaer payday but still no money from Amazon. What takes them so long. I initiated the transfer last Wednesday evening and it seems to be taking longer than usual, or is it just that I'm noticing more because I'm waiting for it?

    I know. I've had the day off work today and I've been so bored I've absolutely blitzed the front room. It's a spare room that I currently use to do the ironing. I stripped cupboards off the walls back last year and came to a standstill but today I've made a start. I've laid wood floor in the alcoves and moved my bookcases into the alcoves so that as given me more room. The plan is the get the rest of the floor done but can't afford it right now. At least it looks better now.

    I am absolutely shattered. Me thinks it's a hot bath and a dvd and a glass of wine for me as a treat.
