    well i've had 2 large mugs of coffee today and so far a litre and a half of water, just had an omlet with mushrooms and peppers with lettuce and am now starting to feel more human.

    So while i'm feeling ok i'm going to take photos of stuff and list on ebay :)

    Well said BB.
    I think I'm busy. I'm forgetting to eat - a bowl of cereal and mashed potato with beans today, hardly a feast is it? Right better go and paint skirting - I'm tired!

    Have spoken to an agent today - the rental market is really bouyant. Everything is shifting by 6 weeks at the most, usually between 2-4. 4 would be ideal. He's coming to look at the house on Tuesday 10th August so that gives me a bit more time.

    definitely doesn't sound enough water Claire - try to drink another 2 or 3 pints at least today.

    Do you ever look on minimins? They have a great CD forum for advice and sharing experiences.

    that sounds lovely.

    I wish I could say the same about people coming to see me though, I'm a nightmare if I think someone is coming to my house, I have to spend at least a day cleaning madly :o Thing is with my house is that it is very tidy but always needs a very good dust and hoover and I really don't want to think about my bathroom :o

  • Butti, that's good to know the rental market is very boyant.

    I agree with BB it's the person you're seeing not the house that's more important.

    Harvested my potatoes and another 3 million runner beans this afternoon then got in the bubble pool with DD2 - it was "take your breath away" cold but was ok once you got used to it....the bubbles are fab.

    Just had a scrummy home made pizza for tea with chilli roasted corn cobs followed by strawberries and raspberries in yogurt....utterly pooped now and looking forward to watching BB.

    Claire, my dad's got a memory foam mattress and reckons it's worth every penny. I've got an orthopedic one which is brilliant, I need a firm mattress.

    For the nausea can you drink peppermint tea? It aways settles my tummy.

    Sally, glad things are looking up for you in all ways.

    Sister came over to sort out the last of her bills and we went for a curry, I couldn't finish all mine, proof that I'm ill. But I talked her into coming and changing a lightbulb for me, I have light in the hallway again!
