The tiny spider that taught me a big lesson....

Hi everyone

Well, woke up with a stinking cold this morning and have stayed in all day. However, I didn't get much done as was feeling rubbish. Then went for a nap this afternoon which I only ever do when I feel ill. Anyway, feel a bit better now. Still the plus side is that it is saving me petrol and I won't break into that tenner today.

I have been making a list of jobs that need doing before OH moves in. I work out that when I come back from Spain, there will be 11 weeks before he plans on moving in. Around one job a week will need to be done.

I have also made a list of Christmas presents that I need to get (free of course!) and I will not go over what is on that list (especially where niece is concerned - I always go overboard).

Right, must get some work done.

Hi everyone

Feel better today. Hopefully the cold has gone before it got going. I went to sleep at 10pm last night which I think helped. I don't think I have gone to bed that early since I left school!!

Anyway, I think I lapsed slightly yesterday in my positive thinking so it is back today with a bang.

I was thinking that I would like a desk to work on. I often work sitting on the sofa, sitting on the bed or at my dining room table (which is ok but the chairs get a bit uncomfortable after a while). I think it would be good for me to have somewhere to escape too when OH moves in too. He can take over the living room and I can disappear into the bedroom to work at my desk when I need to.

I was thinking of this one:

or maybe this one:

I don't need anything too big as all I have is a laptop and I don't want it to over power my bedroom. Will speak to OH about it, although he doesn't really have a say as it is my flat .

Might see if he will buy one for me for Christmas.

And as for a chair to go with it? Is there any other option than this one?

So me!!

Another cheaper option and takes up less space is this one http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/20078234

I know what you mean about laptops nice to have somewhere to put them.

Like the organic oak desk.
Was going to suggest Ikea but Tall Girl got there before me(I was thinking chairs)

Thanks, there is an Ikea near my OH so next time I go up there, I will go and take a look. If they did it in pink then it would win hands down :rotfl:.

I know, I am swayed towards that desk. All I need is somewhere big enough for the laptop. I think anything bigger would just attract clutter. It would match in with my bedroom furniture too.

Bless my mummy. She bought me a pair of lovely pink PJs from M&S for my holiday. They have a cat on them too .

Must now throw a pair of my old PJs out as my chest of drawers is jam-packed as it is!

I looked for them on the M&S website so I could show you all but they aren't on there. I think she got them on sale. I will take a picture and try to post it.

We leave for Spain on 29 August at some ridiculous hour (pleased about the holiday but not the leaving time).
