    I put the rabbits in the other run and i ended up having to take it apart to get them back out.:mad: They sat in the farthest corner where i couldn't reach and wouldn't budge despite Ds2s not so gentle prodding.:cool: Ds2 was in there at one point but he couldn't lift them up as they're too heavy.

    We've also been shopping today and put it away. I should think about cooking tea but i CBA, i seem to have run out of steam. I've still got loads to do aswell.

    This wasn't even in the whole room (which is 14' X 12'), this is just some of what was underneath DD1's bed - 6'6" x 3'6". Wretched 17 year old nightmare.:mad: If she kicks up a stink over the intrusion, I shall merely state, 'Well, I couldn't really keep it as a shrine, sweetie'. :A

    Today, I have also done

    WM x 2
    TD x 3
    Ironing
    Kitchen
    Ironing
    Buying more bin bags
    Ironing
    DW

    And waved DD2 off for a long weekend with her father (making sure he didn't go nuts at her because, yet again, she wasn't ready waiting at the door for him when he turned up).

    I had my first coffee at 4pm.

    And, in honour of this being a night off, tonight is sad single curry night!

    I wonder, should I go and buy a giant tub of plain white emulsion tomorrow?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    And I am definitely insane.

    I have decided to apply for a full time job with the academic outfit I'm temping for at the moment (in a different office of course!).

    I've started on the application form but boy, it's going to take me HOURS to complete

    ~sigh~

    Greenbee, I may just wing it past you when it's done.... if you've nothing better to do...
    You're nuts. Why do you want to work there? Isn't it time you went and found yourself something to keep your brain occupied?
    Or greenbee could come down to Portsmouth late afternoon / evening and we could do something / go out somewhere ...........
    I was actually trying to think of somewhere that we could meet midway between us... my brain isn't rising to the challenge, but then you could either head over after you leave chichester, or go home and then come out again later. I'll have a think about it... let me know if you have any bright ideas! I probably won't manage to stay awake too late though...:o

    Work done. No time for a walk - need to shower/change/get out of the door to go and have my nails made tidy :D
