    Wow, that looks very interesting, I found some one near me - 31 pounds an hour!! mind you my feet are really ticklish!

    The bathroom is finished every inch is cleaned - with vinegar and bicarb - it worked so well on the taps!! There is still a leak but the man who comes to do the boiler can deal with that! All half finished up bottles have gone, I rediscovered enough toiletries to open my own chain of shops (Chev it was ridiculous!)

    I am tired but in the mood to do something else. Just don't know what!

    I have very ticklish feet too, buffy, but for reflexology and the like I have never had any problem - bizarre!

    Well done on the bathroom :T

    Well I tidied up my room hoovered etc, I have decided to move the furniture round to (again;) ) signal a fresh start which I will do today. I have a box of e bay stuff (added to last night) and a charity bag going. I took Nytol last night and it knocked me out for the count.

    I also researched my fish tank last night. Normally I am pretty good, I have to say I have always run slightly over stocked tanks re goldfish but have a friends with a pond who took my GF when we moved here. I have 4 goldfish and aim, once the dispute with the neighbour is over to build them a pond but that is about a year away.

    The tropical fish I have, it turns out are wrong for my water it is too hard, which means I need get RO water which is possibly going to be expensive. The major problem I have had is that the hardness of my water changes fairly frequently every few months the water company do "something" to it so periodically all the fish die off, this last year has been pretty yucky to be honest, I feel so guilty about the all the dead fish. Even fish that are supposed to like my water haven't done well.

    I have no idea what to do about all. I could sell the tanks? but well I like having them! I think I will have to go to a shop and see what the cost of RO water is and then make a decision.

    Sorry for the rambling about fish!

    This afternoon I shall do my room and do "something" about the fish. Just not sure what!
