  • Ah well pigpen if you can get to see a woman then it can't be my GP surgery. :rotfl:

    I'm ebaying this morning, I've discovered how much less stressful it is to do BIN listings rather than auctions, for me at least. :rotfl: And the ebay app for the iPhone has a barcode scanner which is making my life sooooo much easier right now. Just gone through an entire stack of books in minutes to see if they were worth ebaying or not :D

    Just wondering - what's the 'toots list' or 'frog list'? I've been away too long!!

    Toots List: A list of almost every job that needs doing in your house and garden!

    Frog List: 10 of the jobs you've been putting off for ages - the sort of thing that probably takes about 2 minutes but you've put them off for ages!

    Frittered: Just the excuse I need to buy an Iphone...:rotfl:

    More later after I've been to the cinema...

    Town took longer than expected 'cos I couldn't park.
    I ended up parking and paying twice ( not very MSE) 'cos I thought that would be quicker then walking around town but given the traffic I'm not so sure?
    Anyway, I've now got 50 minutes before I have to leave for prison.
    HHC then.....off I go....cat litter first

    Chimney swept yesterday, boiler serviced today. Windows being cleaned (outside) as we speak. Am I the only person who finds it odd that not only does the window cleaner never let anyone know when he's turning up, but when he gets here, he doesn't bother to knock... Is he trying to catch people out? He also parks in the drive, so clearly doesn't realise that his unannounced visits might be a time when we want to go out (sometimes he even eats his lunch there). I'm too lazy to find another window cleaner at the moment, but this one seriously winds me up.

    Father's day present posted, taxis booked for next week's work trip. Need to do some laundry. And some gardening, and some housework. Oh yes... And write five presentations in the next couple of weeks....

    Probably a really long time if it's your own house.

    And probably twice as long as a bloke would (rolls eyes)

    Just the one hopefully.. but any that are related would probably be a benefit to the world as well... I did consider shooting them.. but that would be too quick.. I want drawn out and nasty.. drowning is an option but I'm not physically strong enough to hold it down.

    Hhhmmmmmm decisions decisions...........

    And I am now cross with myself for buying OH's fathers day present when I got nothing for mother day.. I need a dose of get a grip

    Thanks for the toots/frog list info! my Toots list would be taller than me, and my frog list - well, doesn't bear thinking about! I will devote some time to compiling them, and try to declutter at least one item a day. Probably won't post the list on here though, as it would be too embarrassing!
