    Food and Fiscal chat - very cosmopolitan on here tonight!

    I agree Walshyboy, Vince Cable seems like the safest pair of hands but I missed the debate tonight. I was busy cutting out seaweed from coloured paper - don't ask.

    Hope DD is better soon Surfbabe, there seems to be a fair bit of lurge going round at the moment.
    Well done Gallygirl, enjoy the colouring :T

    Very high tech here, on a spreadsheet :) Divided into 4 colours - 1st stone red, 2nd amber, 3rd dark green, last 1/2 stone bright green. Each 1/2lb changes a square bright green. Don't think I'll be running out of green computer paint any time soon :o.

    Hmm, I watched the debate also. Vince Cable best, Darling not too bad. Biggest surprise was Osbourne - didn't want to deck him & agreed with a lot he said :o

    Oh well, the jar of Kenco will be my friend today and will see me through, I am sure!

    Banking and scratching......have a good day everyone x

    Sorry you slept (or not) badly too, gallygirl.

    I am so looking forward to the bank holiday weekend! If all I do is veg about, it will be well worth it.

    Banking and scratching done - nothing spectacular to report. Have a M/B to do this evening, but other than that, surviving my day will be good enough for me.

    right, trying to formulate a plan to pull me out of the constant bleurghiness I have.....so over the Easter weekend, when I have no children etc, I have decided that I will turn my spare room, which is a single bedroom that DD used to have, and which occasional students now use, from the general junk-magnet that it has become, to a workable space.

    It has, like many spare rooms, become that place where things are put on their way to going somewhere else (generally the bin!) and at the moment it is not too bad, but it has potential to become a nightmare room that is then unusable.

    I also need a workspace.....I need to distinguish between working on the laptop and mooching on the laptop - I am not productive on there as I should be, so will make the spare room into a study, bring my desk in from the cabin, put a PC in there, and create a proper place to work, rather than kid myself I can do it on the sofa with the telly on. I can then look for a cheap sofabed that will be perfectly adequate for occasional students in due course (no hurry).

    I've got paint, so it is a case of ditching the crap, and stripping back some tatty wallpaper and polyfilling....then painting from top to bottom and bringing the desk in.

    I reckon it is an ideal project for a bank holiday weekend :)
