    Just think how amazing it will be for him to return to his new home which has been totally transformed by his new love.

    You can make it really special Sally, hard work yes but it will be so worth it.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Day 1 of operation decorate and I am exhausted...near enough finished one room. Took hundreds of picture hooks, nails, screws out walls, filled holes, wiped all the woodwork down, sanded, painted celing, painted all walls...phew! Mum washed the woodwork in the rest of the house...8 hours non stop and its the same again tomorrow!

    Had a letter waiting at the new house to say that bea's appeal for school is being held on Friday 3rd September...so if she gets in she will start on the Monday :eek: Its all very real and really have to do my very best to get her in

    Missing R terribly and still 5 half days :(

    Hi there
    haven't followed your past diary, not sure how I missed it, I spend enough time on here! But congratulations on moving forward and on being debt free.

    I really hate it when letting agents do this too. I am just lucky that we picked by pure chance a good letting agent phew!

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    Thanks all

    another day decorating...am knackered but its starting to come together and hopefully by the end of the week all the painting and finishing touches will be done. Have won a bed on ebay which I need to pick up for R's son so thats great. Need to still pick up the wardrobe and chest of drawers for our room and the table, chairs and bedside cabinets from R's parents. All of this can wait until he is back and we can use his car.

    Must pack some more boxes to take with me tomorrow...house here is starting to look a bit empty
