    Have spent all afternoon with DH working on car. Need to paint it tomorrow.

    Did manage to run errands this morning and go to post office (after going to shop to get the thing to post for mum) so not a bad day but a busy one.

    oh, and DD is watching some show called 'Planet Sanjay' on CITV. It is quite possibly the worst show I have EVER EVER seen.

    Well done Pooky, hope it all works out.

    I have been to see a room in Newcastle. It was SMALL. I hope I'm going to be able to find something reasonable or I will feel like I've been buried alive. Three bed house to one room :eek:

    Right some gardening to do. Tidying this evening incase anyone wants to come round. More garage clearance tomorrow.
