    When are you going KC?

    Watch out for strange wildlife - DD went swimming off the coast at the weekend, thought someone wearing a black tshirt was swimming next to her, he turned round and it was a seal :rotfl:.

    This weekend :) What a great seal story :) we've seen quite a few seals even standing on the beach, so it makes sense! Been researching seal trips off Blakeney Point, but I doubt we'll go, there isn't quite time to fit it in, specially with my mum's energy levels being what they are. Lots of good stuff tho - rellie visit, Sainsbo Centre in Norwich, posh restaurant, a water mill producing spelt flour, nature reserves to look at, pretty shops to look at, we'll have a ball.

    Right - working now. Laterz, doodz

    - finish backing up lappie :)
    done!

    - cleaning - going to do the *outside* of the porch today, I need to make a bit better impression than usual.
    Oops! Not done - got to be done by 6pm, leaves me an hour.

    - finish Norfolk research - thats *got* to be done today, need to print it and post it to my mum.
    done! Transferred to my kindle, emailed to my sister, and printed and snail mailed to my mum :)

    - might condescend to put the dishwasher on :rotfl: oh, and pack for my holidays
    done the dishwasher, not the packing :D

    That's good to know, Al, thank you. Looks like my pretty little plants are going to be safe :)

    And I managed to do the cleaning of the porch windows I scheduled :dance: it was all looking a bit naff, and now it isn't :)

    Today, the list is really *really* long, but most things on it shouldn't take too much time:
    - clean bedroom rugs
    - clean loo
    - laundry load
    - follow up letter to NHS complaint
    - email Egyptology
    - pay credit cards
    - ask my new website host to do their thing to get my blog onto the new hosting.
    - finish drafting another blog post
    - pick either the blackcurrant or the rhubarb. How close is the rhubarb to collapsing? Have the ants disappeared from the blackcurrants yet (after DE dusting)? We'll see :)

    And my purple and pink ones vanished completely in light sandy soil (very very sandy - sand quarrying locally). Was very disappointed as I bought a lot of plants to fill the space!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Oh beanie! Paying my credit cards is just 5 mins online, etc etc. The only things that might be trouble are finishing the draft of a blog post, and the follow up complaint letter. I'm starting on the list at 10, so I'll let you know.

    Good grief! Honestly, after seeing them wild on the chalk moors in the south of England (white cliffs of Dover country) I'd have thought they'd be great in sandy soil. Just goes to show :( sorry to hear it, watty.

    Right. Washing machine is first on tehe list.

    - clean bedroom rugs

    - clean loo

    [STRIKE]- laundry load[/STRIKE]
    Its in the machine (tho I should've waited till the dishwasher was done - I don't have any clean pans!

    - follow up letter to NHS complaint

    [STRIKE]- email Egyptology[/STRIKE]
    done, sadly. Hoping I can afford to rejoin - its not just the payment, its the train fares, they go all over the county.

    [STRIKE]- pay credit cards[/STRIKE]
    done.

    - ask my new website host to do their thing to get my blog onto the new hosting.

    - finish drafting another blog post

    - pick either the blackcurrant or the rhubarb.

    3/9 in less than half an hour :rotfl: and I sussed the difference between a quick wash (30 mins) and an eco wash (80 mins!!!, though it takes twice as much weight).

    I've requested the free migration for my blog ... decided to copy everything first, including the blogposts, the media I uploaded, and the comments :D belt and braces, moi? But it *did* mean it took a lot longer than I scheduled.

    The washing is drying on the line now :j

    Beating the bedroom rugs is going to be a lot less fuss than copying a blog!
