    *hugs* Ironing is strangely comforting, isn't it. All power to your ironing elbow, SA.

    Given up ironing now got bored after doing all my work stuff, am wandering around the house feeling oddly spacey and trying to put things in to some kind of order to make it easier when he comes back tomorrow for the last of his things. Wish I knew if he was planning to take any of the furniture stuff as I'd quite like to tidy up the books, cds and dvds but he bought most of the units so don't want to just refill them if he's going to want to take them.

    Slightly less unhappily I have had my £100 deposited in to paypal from swagbucks, took some going to get to the 17999bucks for it but it feels worth it now. Have already initiated the transfer of it in to the bank so I can decide if it's best used on credit card repayment or saving for bills next month.

    After a reasonable nights sleep I still have a scary long list of things I need to get done to sort out the house but I feel better for having made the decision. I was slightly amused when I came down earlier to realise that he's taken the kettle (which was his) and most of the forks but no other cutlery.....

    Well that was unexpected! Spent last night drinking wine and neat vodka and planning a dive trip with one of the guys from work, one of those evenings that counts as a really good time - even when he stripped off and tried to get in to my dry suit (size 8+ feet and all) from his reaction I presume it was fairly uncomfortable.

    I now have mobile internet access albeit slow which is good since I have several mystery shops booked this week and need to get a new broadband contract organised. I currently have no tv, broadband or phone line which probably explains why I have four empty wine bottles and an empty vodka bottle lying around my front room!

    Broadband/tv/phone installation booked for early July so looks like I'm on limited access until then, which is ok, just need to prioritise money making over playing games/time wasting again.

    Maybe there's something to be said for prioritising money-making etc because it's for your own benefit now, rather than to maintain a life that wasn't really what you wanted....

    ...and steady on the booze - bloomin expensive!!

    I have plenty in stock and I didn't buy what I was drinking on Saturday. The utterly lovely bloke from work bought it with him for me, I think it was an attempt at bribery so I'll do the organising of this trip. Still it was nice to wake up to a new face even if it was squinting down at me asking where in my living room his glasses were since he couldnt brave the stairs without them (and thought waking me up was safer - well he won't make that mistake again!).
