    Is your place in the market now? Horse hotel still a possibility? Sorry work is as it is. Work politics are simply awful.

    2015-01-10102027_zps67750f36.pngWell ours is being prepped for sale.

    No point rushing it onto the market. Horse hotel will either be there or not. *God bothering coming up* God will put us where we need to be. * God bothering over.

    I have a target of filling and repainting a wall this weekend and decluttering one ting.

    Diet is going backwards.

    eta broke my fiscal fast with £23 on two pairs of specs.

    Because...see above. You can't see the wonderful array of scratches and the coating coming off. And the allergenic nickel in them.

    Morning Alchemilla, great to hear you're putting the house up for sale. Maybe that will make the school politics less stressful as you'll have such a big project on the go at home.

    I have no idea how all you teachers cope with all the political stuff - I can't begin to imagine how difficult it is to then stay motivated and grow and develop the kids.

    Good luck with all your plans

    Hello Tilly, thanks for the post.

    The politics have gone from super stressful to jolly funny just this week.

    I have booked valuations by two other estate agents in the next couple of weeks.

    Now to get my paintbrush out!
