just go shine your sink - then stand back and admire it.

i'ma bit hazy about what happens after that, but coffee with large amounts of brandy and alanis morisette on full blast did it for me

"isn't it iroooooooooonnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccc doncha think!!!!!"

good luck hon - you know yourself that once you are started its never quite so bad. If it makes you feel any better i'm off to do the loo - and we are training ds2 to stand and pee, and well, you know how little boys aim????????

Yep, although you don't want to know what i sing to when shining sinks :rotfl:

Hi there gang,

to report briefly on state of play here. We actually do not have much organising and cleaning to do apart from teh on-going stuff. Well, need to de-clutter small parts of the house but the big problem was done end of August - the garage which took 5 trips to the tip. And I have a lovely, large comfortable albeit slightly dark (the magnolia tree stopping the light) office. I love it and have always felt comfotable, creative and happy here. I also have my violin and the piano here - I play the violin badly (but the important thing is dedication and fun) and will be learning to play the piano with Little Boy.

A bit later we are going to do my numbers - I do have numbers but I suspect they are not the minimum we need. Please note the 'we' - yes, hubby is completely with me on this one and on most things. We have learned that the deficient togetherness probably brought about our negative wealth. So, for better and for worse...

I am also the proud owner of a set of colourful pens - my pencil box is bursting (yes, no laughing, I have a pencil box and I love it). But if I am going to continue on the mind maps path it is a must.

Keep well and the universe is plentyful and generous.

I've worked out my PSB, it's scary However, I found 7p whilst out and about today so money is definitely flowing to me!! Is it sad that I moved 7p online from my current account to my savings pot to pay my parents back the loan early??

I find that inviting people you don't know very well over to the house is a good spur to get me to tidy up a bit!! Apart from Mount Ironingberg which is just going to have to wait as I've had far too much vino, the downstairs is looking quite respectable at the moment I'm getting ready for the new challenge from Mr Big - I preferred the chap she went out with before Mr B, the one who was in Northern Exposure, can I imagine it's him really, lol!!

mg if we are playing sex in the city with mr big can i be samantha she always seems to have the most fun (anyone whos watched it will know what i mean ha ha )

Thanks no pennies - I did become wise very prematurely because of a crisis. Otherwise I am very determined never to grow up and when the time comes to grow old very disgracefullly. As Jo Brand says, stuff wearing purple, I'll be purple.

And I agree - Samantha is the one to chose to be like.

...several pages back. (Am catching-up after a very MSE evening out: Free cinema tickets + £10 off £20+ at Slug & Lettuce, so the evening came to less than £20 for the two of us including train fares!)

We have a T-Mobile dongle which we use when away from home. (Was an absolute godsend when DH was in hospital earlier in the year.) Can't remember how much it was to buy, but know it wasn't expensive. Is "pay-as-you-go" (£2 a day- buy 2days get one free - and less if you buy a week's worth.) Unlimited surfing/E-mails but there is a monthly download limit.
