    I was laying in bed this morning when the window fitter appeared outside the window and started sticking strips of something to the outside frame. I made a dash for the living room when he went back down to get another strip! People keep popping up everywhere and I don't like it!
    Would having a blanket with you help? So you can cover up quick if someone appears? Must be rather annoying to have people randomly popping up all over the place!

    Ooh that would be annoying WaS. I don't even like it when next door have their windows cleaned and that's the other side of a big shared drive! Really hope they're finished soon - you are v much due some peace and quiet. When is the next exciting outing planned, I can't keep up?! :D

    Ooof I'd hate that WaS! I don't like getting our windows cleaned, I wish they'd give us forward notice so I could shut the blinds or go out! :p
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Do you have curtains or just nets? Or nothing?

    It might be idea to keep all curtains closed so that you can at least walk about in your PJs and only open them when you've checked there's no-one there!

    If you don't have curtains, then that is a problem.

    I am chuckling at the thought of us all bobbing up, dashing off or sitting petrified as window people are at the windows. I wonder if they feel as self conscious as they approach windows.

    don't forget my patented shutting the curtains and staying very, very still technique.

    Tea, its hard to sign the papers because that's the point of no return. Once you've signed, that's it. Its so hard to make the break. I used to live with a guy, and I thought we had a great relationship. All our friends got on, we had so much fun and it was fantastic. Then one night he came home from a night out and confessed he'd just slept with someone else. I was devestated. He promised it was a one time thing, he was stupid etc. So I agreed not to end the relationship. Things got back to normal and we got engaged. A few months later while on a business trip, he did it again. I left, but was persuaded by my friends to go back. I did give the ring back though. The third time he did it, I didn't care, and that's how I knew it was over. It was still so hard to leave though.

    Today I saw dolphins.

    Slagging me off to the landlord, complaining how i have more cupboard space. I used to have his cupboard (which i never complained about)then got a bigger one when the other housemate before him moved out. Thing is if he's asked me nicely i'd have happily give up some space but he's blown his chance now :mad: I just hate the fcat he dictates and complains to the landlord about how everything MUST be to his specifications and how he doesnt actually talk to us but goes running off to slag us off the the landlord instead
