Memorygirls - Make Do and Mend

Tregemred

Crikey peeps.

Had my head down and the roller coaster ran on without me!

MG - What a nightmare with the BB. Hope all sorted now. How did the coaching call go tonight? The latest challenge again is really interesting.

Hypno - Add my thoughts to the mix, so kind of you to donate the violin. From the posts that followed, it was very much appreciated.

What a lovely neighbour MG

Good luck Lara, hope your experience is a positive one.

Claire - Enjoy your wine, you've earnt it!

Firewalker - wisdom as always.

And to the many marathon runners, job hunters and budding entreprenuers, positive vibes.

Off to read what I've missed while I've been typing :rotfl:

I presume you are doing the house up firewalker?

Two bathrooms at the same time and the kitchen cailing has to be done. They leaked - and when the guys took them out it was bad, very bad.

Since January 2010, we have reduced our montly expenditure by about £2000 (without deprivation but loads of planning and ingenuity) and have paid £22009 off the debt. Yes I can do this.

with technology therwise I would have been in touch with Mr F too.

But tomorrow is going to be a better more productive day I promise.

Mum has even offered to take both kids for a few hours - yipee!!!

MG

Mr F has had very bad two weeks - first I went away and left him organising the whole buying for bathrroms thing and this week he has been driving around collecting things for bathrooms. Tomorrow is good - we'll be a bit more relaxed as well.

Great for your mum - I am sure the kids will have great time.

Look after yourself - remember you are your most valuable asset.

Pamper party for 1? I assume you aren't exempt from MrBig challenges:p

Not that I suggest you do this - but I actually did this whilst doing up a house in London.

I couldn't take the dust in my drawers (not the furniture kind either:p) any longer.

So one Saturday I literally "pitched" a tent with 6 inch nails on the middle floor of the house. One of those old fashioned serperate bedrooms with a living area out front jobs. I blew up a bed, made it cosy with sleeping bags and patchwork quilts, put a camping table and chairs in the other area and a camping stove to cook on.

For 5 months I lived in my little cocoon whlst they ripped the house apart and stuck it back together again - but my little space was safe, clean and cosy. In fact the first night in my Master Bedrrom Suite was a teeny bit agoraphobic:D

The point - well for the sake of my sanity Ihad to claim a piece of my home that was "mine" and retreat in there with all that was precious to me. It was the one wee bit I could control.

The tent didn't make it though - but we have it a very riotous send off -:rotfl::rotfl:

Good idea, actually - because what bothers me most is the loss of control. Will try this when we are doing the kitchen - probably late next year when the Universe delievers big time. For the next few days I have moved in Little Boy's roam and sleep on a futon with him - he loves it; and I love it - no dust, confy futon and lots of cuddles.

Get yourself an early night woman and stop worrying all will be good

Right after completing some very urgent business:), and having just returned from Mr. T's having dropped off stuff to decorate church for harvest as I won't be there to help tomorrow as I am in a conference in Dolgellau all day I think I deserve something to eat:D

Please don't chat too much whilst I am cooking as I have an early start tomorrow and need to get an early night :rotfl:mind you I am only doing a stir fry so shouldn't take long
