    Omg i'm sore now :( anyone want to swap backs for a while so i can get this house ship shape without having to stop all the blooming time?

    right bedroom is tidy again, and things put away, i can now walk without having to step over things, its not clutter free but i'm concentrating on one room at a time :). just need to wrap pressies and put them away before little (or rather big) boys start to peek :)

    just having a break and having my dinner then its parcel packing for me :) not sure whether i can start tackling the dining room next though.

    Butti, the drumming almost as well as the gorilla made me laugh.

    Well, I did it, I got on the bus! We went into town, then had a coffee in Pret (only £1, bargain!) where I treat myself to a breakfast baguette, then had a mooch round WH Smiths, and got the bus back. I know it sounds pathetic but I'm proud of myself.

    I think I'm gonna have a nap before going out to run a few errands later.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

  • Afternoon everyone,

    Butti, that made me giggle.

    Ames, well done.

    Claire, it soudns like you're making good progress with the house.

    Sammy thank for the thought provoking challenge.

    I've graduated and have completed my PGCE to teach Business and Economics. More importantly I'm debt free!

    The apartment is tidy and organised, the spare bedroom has been turned into a study/sewing/chill out room. More importantly each room is now finished and not a mismatch.

    Sally, I hope the dark cloud moves away sooner rather than later.

    Lots of love,

    LMC xx
  • Well done Ames - if it was something that scared you then you should be very proud!

  • Hope you feel better soon Beanie.

    I have eaten a little frog. Finally phoned up one of my credit card companies to arrange to pay by standing order rather than send a cheque so I don't have to remember to do it every month now. They offered to knock £2k off if I settled! :rotfl:

    I also worked out my total debt. :eek::eek:
