    Actually, I'd have thought you could be really good at confidentiality, your usual posts are very short, but still convey the basics?

    Let's hope she's not too good - dish the dirt SHS! :rotfl:

    Aw thanks. It's because of typing on my phone and general busy ness.

    The room is up together. Just waiting on DH for provisions.

    I failed to put hooks up or Danish oil the new woodwork but it looks pretty good anyway. Got a cheval glass off ebay last night for £15 a mile and a bit away. Fleabay at its best!

    Excited and nervous!

    It’s gathering momentum now! That mortgage will soon be gone.

    Ooh I hope so. If I was any good with spreadsheets I could do some sums.

    Today DS has a party and we have a check out and check in to manage. Also laundry...shouldn't be as mental as last weekend though.

    Well...how close to check out time should a person reasonably check out?

    To me a check out time is when I should be gone. So if it is 10am, then I need to be out by 10am. But there's nothing to stop me checking out at 7.30am...

    That's me too. I think they had a pretty big night and overslept.
