            My daffs are beautifully yellow, thought of you earlier on AnW'smum when I was looking at them. Ours are almost out and I shall see if DH's are when I go up tomorrow. Can't wait to see their yellow heads now. Ours are almost out and I shall see if DH's are when I go up tomorrow. Can't wait to see their yellow heads now.
 I hope you have better news about the house soon.Plan for tomorrow is work, then I've got to clean out the 'van. We're going to sell it Anybody want a very tidy 4 berth caravan, with a full end bathroom??  Not my idea to sell, but it's half mine and half my sister's.  She wants the £, and we don't have it to buy her out, hence the need to sell. Anybody want a very tidy 4 berth caravan, with a full end bathroom??

 Does she need the £'s straight away or could you negotiate a time frame to buy her out gradually. Or is there a friend that might like to share it with you instead?

            I'm in again, thanks to all at FCC for the lists.
 I'm meeting up with the Chairman of my new council on Thursday to inspect the office and finalise details before I accept the job. Thank you once again to everyone for the advise last week. I'm feeling confidant I've made the right decision and not just for financial reasons!
 Just need to get the house into some kind of order now.
 Had to go off list and deal with the kitchen today but will get back on track tomorrow and anyway my living room isn't too bad as I've trained everyone to tidy up after themselves in here so I always have one decent room.
 Love hugs and spoons to all.

            Evening all.
 Enjoyed my weekend away and even better to come back to a fairly nice looking house. Didn't need to do anything on the list today as we haven't been here to make it messy or dirty so instead tackled the cupboard under the stairs which I wanted to do last week. It now looks lovely and I can get to everything without having to move everything else first - which also means I won't get cross every time I try to get something out from there.
