Thank you for the needle :eek:, photos, money bags and 170HKD (around £13, listed on ebay already) which you have sent me. Please keep on looking.
And the jar of coffee I thought I had taken to Spain months ago and spent 1/2 the holiday moaning others had used it
.
Please keep on looking.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Would really like to do a poll but I think you can only do that on a new thread - so please reply. Poll closes 10.30am.
Do I:
1. Gloss toilet and bathroom.
Advantages - will look better and can then move stuff back in.
Disadvantages - don't want to
and have lots of admin, food planning etc to do.
2. Spend day on house. Admin, shredding old stuff, tidying, unpacking suitcase, sorting out wardrobe.
Advantages - quite fancy doing it
.Needs doing. Will decrease stress. Reduce need to call on St Anthony so often
.
Disadvantages - doesn't get glossing done.
3. Freezer sort out & meal plan & cook.
Advantages - quite fancy doing that too. Need to sort out diet & also have ended up buying a few lunches recently.
Disadvantages - doesn't get glossing down.
4. Combination of 2 & 3.
Advantages - gets a lot done.
Disadvantages - doesn't get glossing done. Will wear me out :rotfl:.
Thank you for your vote

I vote option 2...admin and if you have time then do a bit of meal planning too, I count that as admin

I'm forever praying to St Anthony. He has failed me only once when I lost a ring my Mum had entrusted to me when I was about 14. Came off in the snow, never to be found again. A sad story...I still feel guilty about it. We searched high and low around the area I knew I'd lost it in. I'm sure it'll turn up in about a hundred years!0 -

In anticipation you would all [STRIKE]vote for 1 and I would ignore it [/STRIKE] vote for 4 I have switched the slow cooker on and taken a curry base out of the freezer so the Spanish meatballs will now be curried meatballs
. Also taken some sausages out to make a casserole but I only have one small onion (and one liquid one :eek::eek::eek:) so at some stage I will actually need to get dressed and leave the house
.
Have thought about the painting though and ordered a large paint guard for when I gloss and also need to research how to get paint off PVC windows. From several years ago
.
But first, more tea and MSE :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
