    And what does it have?
    I haven't done the research yet - that was a note for this morning!

    Oh yes! Support/resistance lines are crucial to my trading plan - one thats seemingly been broken by one move can still operate in other contexts. I realised I was looking at one formation and saying "I wonder" - and thats not a good script for a trading plan :p
    Well done KC< you got a step closer today! :T :T Sounds like a good plan to build in plenty of rests, well done you! :T

    (I'm not making any promises about anything either :D :rotfl:)

    I did get closer, thanks Cheery! I can also tell that I'm not ready to trade in this room the way it is, as well as needing to do that research. Because I feel quite cheery in myself (I do love that word!) and I can prattle away to beat the band, I know its easy to forget that I'm struggling, but I am, people I talk to *look* at me as I struggle to breathe without coughing .... its not great ... and the room is full of pieces of wood and foam that will make up the bed - one relaxing thing I've envisaged is to use the bed as a kind of day bed, but its completely unuseable at the moment, so that needs doing.

    I'm still updating my room lists a la cherisong - I need to go at my own pace on this people!

    And today, as I said, I have minimum 3 hours work - that comes first, no question.

    Just off to see what else is happening.

    I haven't looked :o:o:o I didn't have time :o:o:o I do tomorrow tho - then I need to test - it'll be Monday 28th before I put my money on any new research .....

    Right now, I have brain trauma from too many relatives on the phone and email about London weddings and hotels. And I've traumatised my brother in my turn :D:D:D by telling him some of the things our mother's told us about her life - I'm the eldest girl, so she's always talked to me :D He's off now to book himself into rehab, after being completely freaked out :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • I was shocked to learn that my mother wore black tights and white stilletos with a mini skirt and v neck jumper back to front while still at school :eek:. Apparently she was the height of fashion, aided by an older sister who was a glamour girl on TV.

    Not sure I want to know anything else :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I feel sorry in advance for my DD .........I have had a somewhat colourful life (yay! at least when I'm wearing purple, I'll have things to make me smile (and probably cringe) in my memory bank :) ), so at least I'll be able to spot a lot of what she wants to get up to (ha ha, poor girl), but also hopefully I'll be able to advise for/against other paths she might want to take.

    My mother on the other hand.....lol

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: seems I've hit a chord here :rotfl:I shan't be revealing my mother's secrets on an internet forum - just my own, lol - but I can't deny it was fun to freak him out a little bit :D so evil :D

    At least all the yattering last night meant we know what hotel we want and how many nights and whatnot ... its up to me to book all the rooms now, which I'll do after another cuppa (thirsty work, this).

    Today, I'm braving the travel down to the Sussex coast - collecting my papers from my accountant (I need some of them to send off to the French accountant, oops) and collecting the Hobbs dress, finally - they're keeping it, I phoned them cos I was ill, and its fine.

    What else? I've repotted those herbs I bought earlier this week from Sainsbo, and they look *very* sorry for themselves. We'll see if they survive. I've also found quotes for delivery for one of the things I'm selling for my sister on ebay. And I've nearly finished the schedule for all the improvements needed to the property, room by room - its divided into 4 parts - stuff thats been done, stuff thats recommended in the survey I had done before I moved here, professional stuff I want done, and DIY stuff I can do myself pace energy and arthritis. I'm tres impressed with myself :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: And thats just for doing the list(s) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ooh exciting getting the new dress :D

    Good luck with the herbs, I've never managed to get supermarket ones to grow on!

    I've done it with basil before now, so I'm fairly sure they'll be okay, but the coriander is looking *very* upset with me ....

    Morning KC & All

    Just wanted to pop on and say hello! Hope you are all doing well :D

    Have been on a bit of a MSE & e-mail fast this month to try and make time for all the bits that never seem to get done!

    Somewhat succesful, all the really important things got done, including some lawyer paperwork but the filing is still a shambles and pictures are not yet framed and on the walls!
