Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Hi Cheery!
I love your 'Ta da list'...might have to [STRIKE]pinch[/STRIKE] borrow that one myself!;)
I've done quite a lot today...but, like you, none of my Uni work:o It's amazing how everything else seems much more appealing isn't it?!

Cheery_Daff

Oh yes indeedy Milly! But I WILL do a couple of hours on it tonight, promise...

just rang second (or fifteenth, or fiftieth, whatever he is) van bloke, who reckons he'll pick it up at 10am tomorrow. Well, I'll believe it when I see it! But if he doesn't pick it up, I'll be setting fire to the darn thing in the street, I'm bored still of this silly game!!

Ah well,back to the attic...

Yep, can still move, just walked to the post office and back in fact!

Which obviously means I didn't do it properly! :rotfl:

Or will hit you tomorrow! :rotfl:

Cheery_Daff

Hope not - I'm meant to do it again tomorrow!!

Don't set fire to the van I hope it sorts itself out.

I've jsut spent alot of today looking for my furniture in my old house - tis daft, I got a lovely freecycle bed, and then paniced when I coudln't find it - thinking they'd taken it - it is lovely - turns out its all stacked in another room

Phew - OK so it was free - but - its nice - amazing the worth we put into things isnt it?

Glad you found your furniture Fay! Must have been rather a shock for you It is indeed amazing the worth we put into things, but especially when they're old and free and cheery, they become kind of part of an overall lifestyle thing I think, which is a bit different to just always having things that are new and shiney and wanting the latest thing (or maybe I'm just trying to justify why I get so attached to broken down old things!)

(won't set fire to van, don't worry, neighbours would phone the police!)

Bloke who's collecting tomorrow turns out to be the 'last resort' guy we were going to ring if it didn't sell, who picks up old vans and (I assume) takes them to bits to sell the parts and fix up other vans. So a bit sad, but also recycling, so quite good...
