    It is in, nobody died and I am really quite tired.

    Despite that I was out last night and I'm out again tonight. Roll on the weekend I say...I need some sleep!

    Maybe a half riser and all the wood lightened with a glass bannister. I need to try and maintain the light to under the stairs.

    I've found something you can do with your 1970's staircase!

    Have you been searching for staircases for me Z :beer:
    That is beautiful is it not.
    Much nicer than the chunk of wood I've got!

    Is the silver star 4,000 posts - I really must get a life!

    Speaking of which....yesterday I went to see Paddington. There were lots of middle aged folk in and lots of small children. I didn't hear anyone screaming so it's obviously not terrifying, although Nicole Kidman's botox is pretty scary! Brilliant film in the vein of Wallis and Gromit and the Goodies. Some of the comedy touches like the dog carrying and the taxi were brilliant.

    Yesterday evening....I went to see the Stephen Hawking film which was also excellent and a bit sad in places. Maybe I have actually already got a life!

    Back in uni library working on Tuesday's presentation (working hard as you can see!!) Before I start on that I need to sort out the TV licensing people who appear to be charging me £218 for the year, Council Tax discount, Broadband and the Removal man.

    Today I have moved a bookcase in and my back is hurting. Not very clever! I have another one to move later in the week. I may seek help!

    Right - TV licence complaint!

    No, it is not. I much prefer pictures 7 and 17. Now this:

    TBF...You have been here longer than me Beanie. Staying in looking at the PC was definitely NOT on my list of resolutions for 2015.

    ...

    I'd have to move house to fit that staircase in! :rotfl:

    You are right on the back front....it is already not very good. I keep it in shape with regular swimming, pilates and specific toning exercises.......none of which I have been doing!

    Never mind....life starts again after presentation on Tuesday. Right, home to practice!

    My bit of the presentation is 2 minutes....barely enough time to draw breath or say "Hello my name is.....".

    First mortgage payment comes out 20th February and there's another payday before that.:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Your presentation will be fine I'm sure - Its actually harder to get what you want to say across in 2 min than ramble on for an hour though in my opinion!!!


    I love the blue spiral staircase (which is very out of character for me - it wouldn't suit my little farmhouse in France that I dream of really!)


    You get another star at 4000 posts? right I'm on a mission - if I type 1 word per post 4000 times on my diary I should be there by Christmas!! (I think I've been around here longer than all of you!!! Definitely a slacker!!) - Just checked and not quite - I was June 2006 and Beannie was Feb 2006 - Beannie is obviously a much better and much more dedicated student!!!
