    I had a good productive (!) chat with the Estate Agent who thinks the tenants request to make a decision in summer is to my benefit - we can move to a periodic tenancy from April and then if they decide to buy, aces. If not I can either re-rent to them or if they decide to move, just sell it then.

    Good to have the choice compared to where I was in November when it really felt all doom and gloom

    Good news!
    Have to say I feel like spring has sprung. Or at least is considering a little bounce!

    3 carrier bags of carp decluttered from the playroom.

    I am guessing it's mild out... although the heating keeps coming on even when I turn it down so I guess it's not. Right finances done... well personal ones anyway - business can wait until Tuesday!

    love the sofa cover, how quirky!

    no experience of the klippan, but when we were living in the outlaws attic we bought a £80 klobo 2 seater which is still going strong nearly 7 years later with lots of light frequent use. It is now in the bay window of our dining room, and is amazingly comfy for a put-it-together yourself sofa!

    Oh he gave up. He doesn't have a thing at the moment except being a prematurely old man, saying things like
    "Shall I do the honours?".

    My wall in filled and painted. Uses for a boots advantage card #2.

    I have decluttered a very small bag.

    It does seem to be one step forward and two back.
  • Phew! Caught up...

    Firstly Happy 2015 - be it somewhat late.

    I am really sorry for all the trials you went through before Christmas, but well done you for applying for that job and getting the interview - must have given you a real boost.

    Love the Horse Hotel idea and decluttering ready to sell is as good as motivation as any.

    I think we would need to start to declutter now to move in 3 years time lol - think we better get a move on.

    Hoping you get everything you wish for in the coming year!
