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 effortMortgage Balance = £0

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 toand 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 effortMortgage Balance = £0
