    I'm a knackered Bob has taken a week off work I'm working full time but as soon as I get a spare minute I'm down their pulling my weight like a pro lol but omg money is draining from my account so fast.........went to idea and spent over £1100 :eek: but thT was mostly for furniture for three bedrooms that's getting delivered tomorrow and hubby has so far spent £600 in tool station on bits we won't see like plumbing pipes etc took out £2500 on my barclaycard which is 0% until February so I'll get that paid off no problems can't wait to move tbh so we can get settled in

    I'm that knackered that I didn't move at all when I slept last night and when the alarm went off I started shaking :rotfl: no good I'm working til 5.30pm and but need to nip up and see my niece at 4.30pm who's having a wee birthday party :D so I'll get fed there :rotfl: and then I have avon to collect plus go back to new house sand down Abbie's woodwork and apply a coat of pain to her skirting boards and start the first coat of paint on her window as its bare wood, this will need three coats unfortunately xx
