    You were super busy yesterday! Did I manage to hold onto the rain for you?
    You are moving in 3 weeks? Wow, just before christmas?! Very brave- good luck to you!
    The living room floor is half up- but we did manage to re-put up our curtains and wall lights after the wallpapering last weekend so that was good. Tonight- the rest of the floor! But first, one job I hate more than others- I have to go buy something to wear at the christmas party next saturday. *shudders* I hate clothes shopping.
    *edit* ps. I ordered that paint set yesterday :)

    they're much more useful in a sarni (after the fridge) than in curtains which i would end up buying anyway :)

    Morning 'verse :wave:
    I hope all is well with lurkers and regulars alike.
    We've been seeing some amazing achievements around my little circle of diaries, for example:
    - Lemon Tree is turning into a property magnate;
    - Freebyfifty has not only achieved every NSD target she sets, but has cracked the secret of shopping to a limit, and making ebay cry;
    - Moo2moo has managed to retain a level of her sanity despite great temptation all around her to pick up a wet haddock and start belting people with it; and
    - Banwa has managed to become the destroyer of white goods...
    There's been loads more across these and other diaries...but for now, back to me! :D

    As for me - well, tomorrow is payday and I've made it here with 11 NSDs, relatively minor overspend into the O/D, and certainly way off the limits of my overdraft, credit cards etc. which is unheard of in at least a few years. Thank you everyone for your support and company along the way this month.:happyhear
    I've also 'lost' (read 'drunkenly cut up') the Next account card and one of the credit cards - making it a tad difficult (though not impossible I guess) to spend on them. In fact, the Next account is being closed - just haven't sent the letter yet *note to self*

    Today is another busy day with packing, cleaning, tidying and other stuff - including some spends, one of which is a posh button for another almost completed knitted prezzie. I'll post a piccie tonight once it's all done.

    Today is also the potential start of viewings. No news from the letting agent, but I said I'd be ready and I shall...albeit in a 'cardboard-boxes-went-to-war-with-clutter-which-went-to-war-with-knitted-prezzies-which-went-to-war-with-painted-glass' type way!! Let's hope any potential renters aren't neat freaks....

    Anyway, better get on. As you go forth into your day, just remember our motto -
    "Every penny's a prisoner!!"
