Don't worry, I'm safe :kisses3: though I'm wondering where you're going to be sleeping, now the house is let :cool:

Why do you think I'm so keen you get your house sorted .

Glad the underlying cause is sorted :T.

Look just to add to the mould seriousness issues - make sure you work in a ventilated room while removing the stuff if you are not wearing a mask Its nasty stuff and can cause serious problems.

Thank you peeps! Gally, I'm a little far for you, but I've been known to put people up when they're flying from/into Gatwick :j

The cleaning fluid ... I said in response to Tilly that I wasn't using a facemask ... I won't be, but I noticed yesterday that I felt very "tense", is the only way to describe it - I recognised it as a reaction to chemicals in the air, I know how my body responds to that. Dodgy! Thats why I went into the garden. Slept fine tho, and kept a window (insect screened ) open all night, as usual, so its fine. I won't do any more today, as I have clients all afternoon, the smell is disruptive to client work, quite frankly, yuk.

Given that, not quite sure what to do with the rest of the morning: dishwasher is on, biiiiiiiiiig spider is smacked ... I definitely need to get the counselling room ready as per usual first, then tidy in preparation for the weekend (not rinsed the cleaner off a bathroom wall well enough for me to take a shower yet :eek:), a few listings on ebay, clean the patio set, that sort of thing - not going to start anything new right now. Oh, open the post! Thats important! Lots of financial carp has landed on my mat the last few days :rotfl:

And phone my long-suffering business partner. Must do that, he's very good about phoning, and I'm **terrible** ...

Counselling room is ready, I opened (some of) the post - cheque to open the new isa is here two items listed on ebay - the dvd, I listed that about 10 mins ago, and its had 7 views! Are people looking for new listings and just sitting there refreshing their view? Astonishing ... not sold yet tho

I'm away! Then its the bank holibob :j

So glad you are de-moulding - it sounds like really hard work, but it will be a major achievement when it's done

Karmacat

Thanks Goldie I'm probably over-egging the pudding if it sounds like *hard* work its repetitive and smelly, and not particularly nice, but the only bits that need to be scrubbed are the grout - and I think some sealant around the old double glazing will need to be replaced eventually (not yet! no more sealant, no more :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: )

I'm off out today socialising but while I'm on here, I'm also scanning-to-declutter - a poetry book that was being decluttered from the school I went to :eek::eek::eek: this dusty paperback thats been read to ribbons is 50 years old, and doesn't smell particularly nice either :eek: so I'm scanning my faves and disposing in the recycling.

Its amazing what can stare you in the face - I have a guillotine (for paper, not heads ) which was necessary when we used to send out information about counselling by post - but its maybe 2 years since anyone applied by post, so that can go too. For anything crafty, a craft knife will be fine.

I love decluttering :j

Oddly enough ,I was looking for my guillotine yesterday and couldn't find it! :rotfl: Mine's not a fancy pants one though, just a clear plastic ruler and a slicer thingy. No idea where it's gone!

Karmacat

I think thats probably what mine is too, Cheery, though I bought it when I first became self employed, so its quite ... old ... :rotfl: and I remember it being really expensive, £20 25 years ago sort of expensive!

Lovely day yesterday, doing local touristy things that we don't usually do, great big sandstone outcrops, its a gorgeous rock. Today though, its chucking it down, but fortunately the annual Rotary car boot sale isn't till tomorrow - so today is stay at home and hangout and catch up day. I may have discovered full episodes of an SF series I like on youtube :shhh: and while I'm winding up the clockwork on the computer, I may be setting up some ebay sales

But first ... pootling about on here

In my first job in 19oatcakes we had a real guillotine , a wooden thing , with a great big blade.
Ealth & saftey would have a fit these days.

I remember those too, beanielou:T. The one I had to use sometimes used to stiffen up, it took some effort to pull the blade down:eek:
