    I have four drawers in my current divan, which, finger crossed, is going tomorrow. I have emptied 3. I am appalled at the carp...photos in frames no less. I have a feeling there is going to be some serious flingage this weekend.

    Second opinion hospital is going to start treatment - chemo, which local hospital decided was stopping. Everything's crossed.

    I. Am. Beyond. Excited.

    Site meeting yesterday with the builders - all set for a start this month - Yahoo! Need to finalise contracts and get insurance money sorted and paid to us and then we're off.

    Oh, and I've been asked to apply for a job teaching teenagers life skills...Can't say too much more, but it sounds a great challenge.
  • Morning everyone.

    Please grab a hug anyone who needs one.

    Rained on washing - unless it's marked it'll be just fine. I had to put mine back in the WM to spin out all the rain;)

    Off to get my list. Not much done yet :o
  • Ooh Dizzy we cross posted.

    Buy exterior grade filler
    Removed rotten rattan wall baskets at front
    Replace with new hanging thingies.

    Also got friends coming round later for a takeaway so we might even sit out in the garden! Must find a place that delivers, and their phone no - can't remember the last time I ordered Chinese food...

    Kids want to stay up a little - I might let them, lol. They just want to be nosey :)

    Morning all.

    Valli - fingers crossed for progress at hospital 2.

    I have done most of the dailies and run a couple of errands while walking LittleyDog. Can't do anything more now in the 15 minutes before the paid stuff as I have Poppet fast asleep on my lap.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
