  • I'd like to know that too. My house is tidy(ish) - stuff is in places that can sort of be ignored... Just don't open my wardrobe :D

    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    I know what you mean SP. I have piles of papers etc that I don't even 'see' when I'm cleaning. Also cobwebs etc that I only notice when I have guests!

    I had such a refreshing experience today. I went to a jewellery store (that also is a pawnbroker - it was very upmarket though!). The people in there seemed so honest would you believe. They stated exactly how much it would cost in interest per month if I wanted to pawn watch and ring etc and explained all the procedures. So basically I can pawn them for 7 months and pay the (quite large) interest when I pick them up. If I decide I (or if I don't have the money in 7 months) I can't pay for them back then they sell them for a big profit. No problem, no stress, no hassle. They were honest about the high interest charge and they won't harrass me if I don't pay. So unlike banks!

    I get the money tomorrow!
