    Absolutely! And you know what, if he wants me to look after the website, he can pay me - he always paid his wife to do the decorating at their house, he can pay me for website work :p even though I feel !!!!!y saying it,

    It's a shame a long friendship has ended up like that. Your ex-friend seems to have killed 2 long-term friendships.

    he *does* in fact pay her for normal stuff like that.

    How much does she get when she puts the nurse uniform on..?

    Earthgirl, Cheery, thanks :)

    Z :D I know what you mean, about paying for something that I'd previously have given through friendship, but I was thinking about it after I wrote it, and since he mediates all his relationships through money, it *might* actually save our friendship. If I do it :o which is a little bit unlikely :o

    As for the nurse's uniform :D she left him, y'know ;) I don't think he was paying her enough for that ;)

    So, ta-da today :) :-

    - phoned all 3 remaining plumbers again, one is coming round after 3pm today :j
    - phoned client re time alteration on Monday (not spacetime, just appointment :) )
    - some scanning-tidying is done
    - am backing up the computer
    - dishwasher has run through - thats quite a job at the moment :o


    Still have to write out 3 cards, and do some gardening at the front, or at least sweeping up finally after the storms. Things are starting to get back under control, in a good way :j

    Hello folks :)

    I've abandoned writing the cards for today, to be honest - but thats because I almost filled a black binbag with detritus from a third of the paving at the front - builders debris, leylandii clippings, and moss that birds pick from the roof and then let fall :rotfl: seriously :rotfl:

    Plumber hasn't turned up yet, and he's still well within the time he said he'd call.

    Things *are* getting back into order a little, especially if the drain gets mended today. So next week, I'm going to go back to my schedule of writing four blog posts a month, and posting them. Looking at my diary next week, it looks do-able.

    It's the weekend now though - and I have a chance of getting out and enjoying it :j
