not sure why - but this part made me giggle - sounds so very posh - something you'd do in a convertable with a headscarf to hold your 'do' in place - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

...how you'd get the mattress back in a car like that is beyond me;)

Mattress hunting today - down to the coast, I think, to check things out.

Would that be a water bed then :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

did the net capture any mattresses?

DS went into my bedroom last night to put the christmas stuff away and stood on my bed to reach the top of the wardrobe. He reckons my mattress is awful.

These are really funny! And in fact, I'm hopping back on here to go :j:j:j and to say I've got one! Pocket springs with memory foam topper, and I shall blog about what to do with an old mattress, as there are green issues there.

As for being on the coast - ooh yes, in an open topped car with Bertie, and Jeeves travelling down by train, and me in a headscarf tied underneath the chin :):)

And doing the whole thing in a car made it *so* quick, so I was back here for lunch :j

Delivery TBA, but soon!

YAY!!!!

:j:j

Karmacat

Its very yay, you're right! Still very chuffed.

I had *such* a lazy day after I got back, it was lovely ... sigh :D:D

Anyway, today, I think what I'm going to do is a little bit out in the garden - just getting the cardboard down onto bits that need to be mulched (including cardboard from the Approved Foods delivery :j) would be great.

Tiddling around a bit too - I was threatening to walk into the town centre yesterday, and I have no idea why :rotfl: if I remember, I might still do it :rotfl:

I quite like the way that AF boxes are - the inside boxes just collapse neatly without tape.


Pottering round the garden, just walking into town centre for no particular reason....fine occupations for a Sunday.

Sounds like a lovely lazy (dare I say balanced) way to spend a Sunday!!!:D

My plans for the day are to hunker down and plan out 2012 - weekly/monthly/annual items & best of all - dream about holidays!

Yike, plans! Proper plans! Good luck - I'd love to hear about them, squiggle them onto here when you're ready.

I need to do something, my body wants to be active (probably for about ten minutes ) so I think I may have to fetch my wellies and christen them in the mud (they've only been used in snow) and go put some cardboard down as mulch. Erk. Even going to Sainsbo to stock up on microwaveable rice for after the op would be preferable, but I really need to do the cardboard thing. Fifteen minutes, flylady to the rescue.

Hello lovely KC,

so glad you managed to snare a mattress .. one of my dreams is to do the London to Brighton vintage car run ... I have the perfect scarf at the ready ... just need eligible type with requisite motor now .

Hope you had fun with your wellies & cardboard
xx

Thank you Lula! The London - Brighton vintage run could go on the bucket list, actually, thats a good'un.

The wellies and cardboard *was* good, actually - I set my watch alarm for 15 minutes, and as I'd hoped, when it went off, I didn't want to stop, so I carried on - cardboard down, and made a bit of progress with a jungly bit of sedge and grass that was a couple of feet long _pale_ and once I was there, I could prune last year's growth of a very old lavender. Don't think it'll last much longer, but it'd be nice to let it have a good old age. I was out there over an hour, which felt great.

I also tramped around to a local development, to ask about the odd roof tiles they have - some of them are black, as opposed to the usual grey - I thought they were translucent, which would save electricity when you go up into the loft, or maybe some of them had no loft and had arching ceilings instead. Turns out the roof tiles themselves contain pv cells, and they qualify for the feedback tariff thing - amazing! But its not on their literature anywhere, and on a previous visit to the show home, no one mentioned it there's still a way to go.

Anyway, today, I have a list of fairly urgent emails and phone calls once shops and whatnot are open, I have an hour of paid work, and I'm trapped in the house (can't even go in the back garden!!) to wait for the loss adjuster about the shed roof and the damage from last week's storm.

Hope everyone has a good day.
