MiaowMiaow

I've just sorted out my tenancy agreement and sent it to my new lodger to have a look at - quite excited actually:)

If all goes according to plan he will be moving here a week on saturday.

Just need to do the following before he comes-

• move last bits of brothers stuff out
• finish clearing his cupboard space in the kitchen
• get set of keys cut
• buy rug (forgot about this!! - may have to use emergency fund, want to get it as will make room more homely - will be able to get cheapo one)
• train Ellwood to use outside litter tray!!!!!
• clean whole of house again (want it looking nice)

think that's it ...........may have more to add as I think.......

Road Tax Paid online!:D

Got a letter about automatic RAC renewal about £55. Dont need it this year as get AA cover with my bank account, yey!! just need to cancel the renewal.

Just sorting out my paperwork and my cat has decided to curl up inside on top of it all and have a bath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MiaowMiaow

OMG how expensive to get a few keys cut???? Had to get 3 keys cut - £10.50!!!!!:eek::eek: couldnt believe it - must have been a while since I last got some cut

Then filled up my car £42 on diesel again, so expensive!!!!!!!!

MiaowMiaow

Sooooooooooo bored!!!
Revising is hard - keep finding other things to do like cleaning! or logging on here!!
One of my cats has decided to join me and making me jealous by just sleeping, I want to curl up and sleep:(

feeling a bit down again, not great really.
1) must not worry about exam - worse case scenario I can do it again
2) need to move on from the man I have fallen for as it is not the right time and cannot happen at the moment
3) try to smile everyday
4) carry on with the no alcohol thing - going out binge drinking on weekends was not helping me at all.

right, i have a coffee with my name on it and my poorly knee raised and rested, time to crack on with the revision.

Brother not coming for tea but done nice sisterly thing and dropped food off for him when he finishes work (not very mse for me but miss him being at my house - so good deed of the day!).

Picked up prescription at doctors and collected at chemist - have a pre paid card (runs out 05/10 so must fit in 2 more prescriptions - only get 1 months supply at a time so should be fine)

Made appointment at docs for smear yet again!

Taken tablets - had run out this morning so thankfully prescription ready

hi, sorry i've been mia hence no comments. lol
glad you opted for xmas pressies from the M&S vouchers that's what i voted for straight away.
have you got the work gift? i know my sister really like those sleeping bags you can get for babies so i always get one for my friend when they have babies, that and some lovely clothes, always in 3-6 mths though as they always end up with too many little ones. but you've probably already bought something.
can we borrow your mum???? we could have used her today and yesterday as we had to blitz the house ready for the estate agent coming around. Now i'm torn between decluttering my crafting stuff before we potentially move, or keeping it all as we're aiming to get somewhere bigger so it won't be such a problem, oh the decisions. Just wish i didn't hate ebay as much as i do or it would have been on there already
