Frittered_Away

Thanks for all the congratulations *blushes*

Without sounding too arrogant hopefully I am SO PLEASED. I knew I was going to be on the borderline so I'm happy that it went that way and not the other.

Still, two more years of that til it's worth anything

Plumber is coming in a few hours - I wonder if I could ask him to replace the bath sealant :A

Urgh the bedroom wasn't fun! Doing a bit of decluttering in there every day this week was my plan...not touched it (no change there for about the last year then). Today as it was actually bedroom day I thought I'd better start!

It looks better...but I feel worse. It was an awful, Kim and Aggie style mess (not too dirty but a tip, no floor space empty at all). But I'd managed just to not look at it for months, so it wasn't bothering me too badly. Now, I'm looking at it, and realising how much distance there is to go. I am stressed by not having places to put things, and realising even tidied up my furniture is horrid/broken etc. The stuff has all spilled out into my newly-tidy other rooms...I have a vast, vast pile of laundry in the bathroom, stuff that's clean but covered in dust and cat hair from not being put away properly. I also have great piles of stuff to go in the loft in my office. Have to get that up there this weekend!

Must. Think. Positive. I've made a start. And if someone came and looked round my whole house in depth (heaven forbid!), I'd be less embarrassed now than I would have been this morning.

Ho hum. 15 minute break then on we go!

Eeee well done frittered, that's fantastic xx

Shellysue In that case I'd be using some of OH's wages to pay for a cleaner why should you do all the graft.

AJ what a shame that your mam was poorly now, hope everything works out ok in the end I'm sure she'd be devastated to miss your wedding xx

Everyone else, I have read the thread but inbetween sorting littley out, answering the phone and general running roundish-ness I'ts all I could remember off the top of my head, ooooh piggers Good Luck raising the funds, I have absolutely no doubt that you will do it xx LW *huggles*

Waiting for food delivery * taps fingers* This is the only downside to ordering online I think, I want to snooze but can't lol Think OH's coming back here too for his milk he put in the fridge *sigh*

I've decluttered 2 packets of crisps and a very large double chocolate muffin :eek: you can tell AF is due I'll be getting another one shortly.

Ironed littleys clothes for tonight, erm, that's it.

Chimps banished to KH's..
Squeak making a mess with a ginger biscuit and a sherbet flying saucer..

OH has been informed of the window plan (one good thing about the house being mine.. I do ask his opinion and take it into account but I can do a I please with it )

*sigh* my pennies are little.

I need the decorator quote and a room measurement so I can price up carpet.. before I can accurately estimate my budgetting...

Scratch what I said about the sealant, it's positively gleaming after an overnight bleach.

I AM going to get this bathroom thoroughly cleaned. Just stood on a chair to S&S the hatch to the roof (yes, really) and the lampshade etc.

Can you soak plastic stuff in bleach? We have one of those extendable shower shelf things (you know what I mean) and it's, er, rather black around the bottom.

congratulations!

Helped at sports day, went shopping, came home and am about to start tea.

Did shed load of ironing.

Still a bit down about DS's interview - I had hoped he'd get it - he is sick of working at the golden arches...and always being broke...:(

cat_smith

frittered congrats. Hope you are going to celebrate suitably.

LW take some you time. Flying will wait.

I'm getting a pre-holiday night out tonight. Local Italian having a special. Hey, I can pack tomorrow can't I?

piggers Good luck with the windows, and I go with pillows or poison as opposed to disembowelling. Much less messy.

pigpen

I have red bedsheets... I don't mind the mess!
