Hi Taxi, yes, its starting to - I've put some stuff on freegle, which should be picked up at the start of this week, unpacked the microwave my mum bought me (my sister took the old one to the tip already) and unpacked some cardboard boxes and repacked most of it into shiny new plastic storage boxes. Don't really want to put them in the porch where the cardboard was tho - because they're plastic, you can see whats in them :rotfl:thats never good in my line of work :cool:

Today, I've answered the freegle emails already, and this is the rest of the list:
- get dressed in case any of those freegle people come along early :o:o
- two birthday cards to send.
- water bill to pay - I can do it on an 0800 number.
- sort out house and contents insurance. Today. Urgent.
- 2.5 hours paid work.
- practise the trading - won't be for the full time, of course - I'll make a commitment here to do that between 10 and 11.30 this morning.

First! You know what that is - a quick canter around the diaries :rotfl:

Sounds like a busy weekend, good to hear you've got the curtain up and are making progress towards having an office. Tried the new laptop out yet?

Sounds like another busy day for you but all good stuff when done.

Lots of busy days ahead, its true, but this time I intend to make lots of time for me as well, in a good way - still not going to be exposing myself to hot crowded interiors tho, to avoid those flu bugs - my immune system will thank me!

Noooooooooo, I haven't touched the new lappie yet :o:o not with all that lot going on - okay, it really helped when you mentioned the trading, Squizz, here's a deal :think::doh: - my Thursday is free. I'll devote as much time as I need on Thursday to getting it set up at the desk, setting up security, downloading/installing programmes I need.

Phew :beer:

- water bill to pay - I can do it on an 0800 number. done - in fact, I couldn't do it (because after all, £5.28 is less than £3.00 :mad::rotfl:) but then logged on to my bank and found I'd set up a DD anyway

- practise the trading - won't be for the full time, of course - I'll make a commitment here to do that between 10 and 11.30 this morning done, but not well - system worked, but I wasn't paying attention the way I'll need to to catch the trades. I think I've still got too much stuff to do to do that, tbh.

**thinks**. I can't see any way around getting my office/house/life together before I start the trading. I guess thats why the contract with Squizz becomes even more important thanks again Squizz :T:T:T

Same here! I woke with a cough this morning and am dreading the course tomorrow

Will hold you to that! Okay you get the lappie sorted and I get 4 hours stitching done

Phew :beer:

Okay get yourself a :coffee: and breath! :rotfl:

Excellent, another contract for Thursday! Okay, four hours stitching - is that your cross stitch project? Give with the details and I am indeed settling for a cuppa tea and an early lunch. Will do the insurance stuff first thing after my early afternoon paid work.
