    we're seeing them in two weeks time, and are going by train, it's so much less hassle what with all the arguments about driving mr LT and i have had over time.

    i wish we'd decluttered the kitchen before we had viewers, who know's what difference it would have made, it certainly makes the kitchen look bigger.

    welcome aboard Miaow

    sorry i've been quiet over the last couple of days but work is just one huge great big massive Lemon at the moment. So far this week i've been borderline ready to walk each day but it's just not in my nature!
  • Hey LT

    Congrats on the decluttering - and don't worry about the viewers that've already been...afterall, they've led you to this point. Plus if they can't see the potential in the kitchen, then more fool them.

    Sorry to hear that work is pants. Be a brave little toaster - almost the weekend.

    miggy it seems to have been bad for the past year with extra peaks of badness at certain times, and now is one of them. Unfortunately the peaks are getting more and more regular and i can see this carrying on for the next few years (if i'm still there) when there will be a mount everest sized peak whilst they reaorganise my entire department. I guess it's just side effects of government cuts and the recession and it probably explains why a/ i'm so determined to clear my debt & b/ why i so want to sell the flat and get the house of our dreams so i have something to focus on.

    on a more positive note, i'm up to about 13 hexipuff for my blanket and have branched out into white and cream puffs, the original ones are a lovely malard green/blue colour. Only another 400 odd left to complete.

    hope everyone is ok and enjoying your weekends.
    I've had a lovely morning at knitting circle, i'm glad i started going to this as they're some lovely folk there who are really friendly, and it widens my circle of friends.
    Last night i taught my non knitting sister to knit hexipuffs, into the deepend i guess but she's fine with them, i guess i can teach a little better than my mum could all those years ago

    tomorrow i think i've been roped into a girlie day tomorrow with my sister,nieces and her god daughter. i'm sure we'll have a lovely time but it would be nice to be able to spend more time with Mr LT this weekend.

    Talking of MR LT he's finished painting the kitchen and it definitely looks fab, i'd buy our flat! lol
