:eek::j:eek:1 DAY LEFT :j:eek:
Sunday morning -dawn still rising - and Im up.
Didn't quite manage a NSD yesterday. Had to buy a squeegy for cleaning the outside of the windows. Picked up one for £2.99 but they would only take cards if you spend £5. Normally I would put it back and walk out but I had to get one so ended up buying a bigger version which turned out to be rubbish then DH told me we already had one in the garage, so that was £6.99 I didnt need to spend. DH and I got through a whole loaf of bread and half a pound of butter yesterday - can't beat a bit of toast and butter when you're too buy to cook :rotfl:
TO DO LIST- Everything I should have done already that I haven't done yet
- have a long soak in the bath coz I'm sure I'll stink :eek:

Hope you packed the wine and glasses on top and have unpacked them first :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Thank you so much for all the well wishes - particularly the bath - I so needed that tonight. Move has come and gone, boxes everywhere which I shall tackle tomorrow. Spent the day deep cleaning carpets and polishing wooden floors ready for checkout tomorrow morning. All concepts of being MS have gone out the window - with take ways and meals out 3 days in a row. DH needs to sort out my laptop so at the moment am typing on a proxy phone.
So glad the move is done. Now just need to get back on track with my ninja MS ways.
Oh one final note. Getting very drunk the night before you move house is not wise. The raging hangover can be debilitating when trying to co-ordinate removal men and unpack is not pleasant :eek:
Hope to be back online properly tomorrow
