*snort* no chance! But there is at lease a sofa-bed shaped hole in the room. In other news, every other room needs urgent decluttering....scubaangel wrote: »Hope you get the chaos under control ready for the sofa bed arriving.

the work room is chaos because we have chaotic minds - we do a bit of this a bit of that
and it also shows just how busy you have been - far too busy for a tidy - who has tidy workrooms
Lol - this is so true!
Though I've just moved the desk to a new spot in the work room, and it totally made me *happy sigh*. I didn't even know it was in the wrong place until I moved it to the right one.
Once the sofa bed is in, I'm sorting the whole room out to address the whole chaos thing because you're right about the chaotic mind and I'm taking a stand. *stomps foot*

But for now things look worse the airing cupboard is wonderful but I can't live in there it doesn't have a window
I am hoping the looking worse is like the calm before the storm
And yes I do know what the time is
But have a whizzy brain that won't let me sleep
I hope you are sleeping soundly ready for a good day tomorrow

I quite like the idea of living in the airing cupboard - stick up a picture of the Maldives and pretend it's a window.Well I am trying to do the sorting as you know

It's pure chaos here as the sofa bed arrival has been put off by a week, which means everything is out of place and for some reason I feel a bit paralysed by the delay. Ooo, didn't even realised that until I wrote it! Hmm, can't have that, can we? Think I might just gently talk myself into utilising the space I've created to sort more out... take advantage of floor space while I have it. I let you know if it works.
I wasn't going to comment on the time - I think forum mischief is the absolute perfect thing for a whizzy brain, and it's save my sanity many a time. That and housework, which is the other thing I do when I can't sleep. Except piloting the iron as I always figure it's not good to work with a potentially hurty thing when you're not fully in the moment.

Evenin' all *does old-style-police-officer-with-braces impression*
Well, I've done the maths and it's clear that I can't afford April. So if no-one minds, I've decided to cancel it.
All April birthdays will be cancelled - which means April babies will not age this year. Cake will be offered as a substitute. I may be poor, but I'm not mean.
Ebay has covered off some of the additional expenses (thank you lovely ebayers!), and I've got quite a bit still on there with watchers - so cross everything for timely sales and payments, please. There's a good bunch.
Plus I've had some orders in for the crafty stuff, which is both gratifying and financially lovely.
Ooo, so maybe not as bad as I thought - it's funny, isn't it? Sometimes you just have to write these things down or say them out loud to clear the panic.
Plus I've just bitten the head off a malteaser bunny which always makes me feel better. :rotfl:
How's everyone else? *dashes off to check out the diaries*

But, but Nora! if you cancel April this means I will be FIVE years older that Dr Witch not four, you can't DO that too me (passes her another Malteaser Bunny to be on the safe side)Must use my stash up!0

*sighs* well, ok - we'll keep April. But only because it's you. *snaffles additional malteaser bunny*Knit_Witch wrote: »But, but Nora! if you cancel April this means I will be FIVE years older that Dr Witch not four, you can't DO that too me (passes her another Malteaser Bunny to be on the safe side)0 -
Hmm I'm torn I wouldnt mind not having a birthday this month but I am going to be on holiday at the same time so would cancelling April mean cancelling the holiday as well?It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
