    I've been Money Tipped!
    Still calm. Fir says unnervingly so. So maybe I should wind myself up. :).

    Have a bit of rosacea so not as calm as it seems.

    I'm glad I had a nice relaxing lunch today. This evening I:

    - Shopped for The Girl's presents
    - Cleaned the kitchen
    - Put the Generalissimos in bed (including a very excited Girl whose birthday it is tomorrow)
    - Prepped pie fillings for 14 for tomorrow (steak pie and chook pie Nom, Nom)

    Pies would get a third nom ordinarily but I'm using ready made puff pastry not The Real Deal. To be clear, 5 noms are available but it takes something pretty special to get past 3.

    So I phoned Tepilo and paid to put the house on the market. I didn't get to make use of my free listing win, but they've goven me a healthy discount.

    Now I need a rocket up my bum to clear that office once and for all and deep clean the bathrooms :o

    I'm doing the photos as well.

    Aw, happy birthday, Mighty Girl Generalissimo!

    My DS is 14 on Saturday. He'll be at school! I've invited one of his friends from his last school and parents over for dinner. DS has asked for curry (Rick Stein will help me with that) and a Krispy Kreme Donut pile for his cake.

    Don't forget twigs in shot ..... and a mirror where you're reflected in the mirror, naked, taking the photo .... and dogs photobombing in shots containing patio doors :)

    So which house are you selling? The one you live in but hate? Or a different one?

    Hospital day again.

    I'm really calm. I guess the car took all my fretting. I haven't even done my night before ritualistic pre prep. I figure I'll just shower and make up before I go.

    So, how did it go?????

    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Of course. I'm also asking around to see if I can borrow someone's pig.

    In fact, what can I do for free publicity? Doozer would get naked. His bottom is on our company facebook page in a client's shower. Horse in the back garden? I don't have a horse. Mmm... Any other ideas?

    The one I live in but hate. I hate it less now the mud has finally gone. The house has been mud free for three weeks. The difference is astonishing.

    Our old house following various works we only really got finished and decorated in order to sell having already found where we wanted to buy. It isn't really recommended as a way to live but it seems our current house is going the same way.....
    I think....

    Pigs are definitely a real selling feature, that house has sold.

    You could try painting your house like Mr Blobby - pink with big yellow circles.

    Loo with a turd still in it?
