    Ho ho. You lot are so funny.

    Well it supposed to be a miserable wet day here but it doesn't look like it yet. Going to walk down and get my paper and then sort my bedroom.

    Yes just had a little wait. Now very wet, althought the tomatoes look happy.

    What you up to Z? I've got a bedroom to tidy (makes me sound about 6!) and a Project officer job to apply for.

    Have had a reply from the Antipodean visa people so have emailed my cousins for their addresses in Aus.

    Done shredding (paper not prancing around like I've got lycra on too tight). Done bathroom cleaning. Finally found out the under the rim bleach I've been using for ages is actually limescale remover. Amazingly enough, real bleach gets the toilet clean without having to scrub at it. :doh:

    Yep, I've got that to do that tidying as well. Also got a coat to hang up "properly". Does anyone know where you get those cloth bags you put clothes in on hangers? Or are they just available online?

    Oh? Is this a holiday or permanent?

    It seems they may be too short. One of the coats is full length, so that's about 5 foot worth of coat...

    You used to get them from the dry cleaners but doubt you do these days.
