    Do you have that fridge magnet that says "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" ? Very popular in some circles :D

    The end of the work hasn't arrived so quickly though :rotfl:.

    Bid on bedroom furniture so we'll be living out of cardboard boxes by Sunday night :eek:.

    So, three more days of having bedroom furniture :p. Emptied Mr GG's drawers last night (ooooohhhhhh eeerrrrrr missus ;)) and found a blank Christmas card for me he'd obviously forgotten about :D. At least I hope it was for me :eek:.

    Speaking of Mr GG, the eagle has landed :T and he will be home soon :kisses2:.

    Busy day ahead, annual leave :D and got lots to do including:
    • Admin stuff
    • Take Dolly the Shopping Trolley for a walk to supermarket & back
    • Take new boots for a walk to supermarket and back :D
    • Empty my own drawers :p
    • Touch up paint where I've filled in holes
    • See Mr Removal Man
    • Possible tip run later
    • Carry on putting numbers in new phone and letting people know new number (remembering to tell people who I am :rotfl:)
    • Make Mr GG a nice dinner - bangers and mash I think rather than roast camel and cous cous :D
    • Money moving possibly
    • Change pin on new bank card
    • Find pin for new CCard :o so I can change it
    • Scan stuff for Mr GG
    • Print out return flight info for Mr GG
    That should keep me out of mischief :D.


    Happy Friday everyone :T

    • [STRIKE]Take Dolly the Shopping Trolley for a walk to supermarket & back[/STRIKE] Done
    • Take new boots for a walk to supermarket and back :D[Not done as wore trackie instead
    • [STRIKE]See Mr Removal Man[/STRIKE] Done
    And the remainder is not done:
    • Empty my own drawers :p
    • Touch up paint where I've filled in holes
    • Possible tip run later
    • Carry on putting numbers in new phone and letting people know new number (remembering to tell people who I am :rotfl:)

    • Print out return flight info for Mr GG
    So, that worked well :o. Had to go & pick Mr GG up in the end, had lunch out and achieved nothing else except a chat with a nice man who told me I can't take my spear to ME, the bedroom pictures are too rude and the living room pictures borderline :rotfl:.
