    Haven't managed my third coat yet so i'll wait for Mr T first.:D

    My sister appeared and she had spoken to the landlord he's going to give them another 2 weeks. He did tell her to sell the car to pay him, she tied in with the car so thats no good. So they have 2 weeks or he's coming to change the locks.:eek:

    She's away now to see some estate agents and hopefully something will turn up. Also away with job app, looks like i may have to push her a little bit as i think she's gave up.:(

    Right best get the WM on again.

    Toots, thanks. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, big hugs.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Bathroom cleaned (all bar floor, I'll do kitchen first then use that water upstairs) and I accidently had a slash and burn session in the garden - the peony heads are rotting so I snipped them then saw little shrubby shoots (ash I think, quite tall) so I snipped them; then I had a go at the Valerian (which is nearly my names:D) so house is STILL a tip...I'd only gone to the car to look for my MP3 player to download a podcast onto!

    kitchen now...

    Did I mention I'm going out tonight?;) (with my new friend)

    and tomorrow?:D (with my girlfriends)

    I am!:D
