    Gally, the boots have died:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    X x x

    I know crying-and-sobbing.gif. It is a very sad day in the GG household crying-and-sobbing.gif (especially as the new ones have gone back as too small. Bigger size ordered :)).

    So, in other news, ebay sales went well :T. I've now listed my bedroom furniture, knowing it would be up for sale for a week, no-one would buy and I would end up giving it away on the day I moved. So after 2 hours someone wants to know how much for Buy It Now :eek:. Hopefully I've asked for too much ;), really don't want to live out of cardboard boxes. Plus I'd have to actually empty the drawers and clean them :eek:.

    In addition to the plant pots I have already lost some drawers to DD, plus a stool, some paint and a hammock :rotfl:. Her dad is hiring a van to take the rest of the stuff :eek:.

    Desperately hoping Mr GG doesn't change his mind :eek: :rotfl::eek:.

    Worked for around an hour earlier and gained much more than that in peace of mind :T.

    1 week + 2 days - 1 days leave = 6 days shocked-smiley-emoticon.gif.

    And in more important countdown news - 12 sleeps till Spain mini-graphics-sunbathing-and-summer-131386.gif and the orange blossom will hopefully be out :T. I don't think there is a more beautiful smell in all the world mini-graphics-flowers-913862.gif.

    In other matters:

    8 sleeps.

    Aw the pretty suns didn't appear :(

    Max of 19 degrees - not too high but that is in the shade. Which I mostly won't be :D.

    Yup, so far :rotfl:.

    The rental property where they've given notice has not been relet in 3 viewings. This is obviously a sign that everything is going to go wrong and I will end up living in the gutter.

    Apart from that, it's a lovely sunny day and spring is in the air :T.
