Internet still working, I think I changed it from tomorrow so if I disappear for days then it's just because internet is switching over.

Took a lot over today, bathroom stuff I packed, fish tank (boy was I nervous driving with that in) shelving racks for DS1s room, more clothes, paperwork to be filed etc. Fish tank all set up, just hoping the few fish we have left survive the move, did the best we could filling bottles etc up with tank water. Unpacked 4 bags of towels and clothes before we had to dash back over while DP fastened the shelf rack back together.

Tonight - hopefully freezer is being collected, person couldn't make it this morning. DP working tongiht so the boys are just going to have to like it or lump it being dragged everywhere with me. Will pack more things and take a car full over, let the electronic babysitter (Sky TV) look after the kids while I do more unpacking. Think I might take a clothes airer over and the last loads of laundry with me and wash them over there aswell, seems silly washing them here as might not get them dry. Must remember to call in for plaster (10% off day in Homebase so will go there) and some bread as I think we're out of that.

Best get dinner started anyway.

Okay my 2 mountains have been condensed into 1:rolleyes:

I'm now going to put the bathroom back to rights before cooking some tea as I emptied all the stuff off the floor onto the landing when I cleaned the floor.

Now too late to go to the library as it shuts at 5 so probably do that tomorrow.

Haven't been to have my tyre checked either as I was going to do that at the same time so another job for tomorrow.

I've also got loads of clothes to put away - I hate that job.

Hi all,
Have a good night out Pigpen and anyone else painting the town.
Lil_me, wish you well for the final move on Sunday and yes, I've missed you being around!
Shirley and Border, enjoy your clandestine handover of little ratties in a layby in Norfolk (that's how I like to imagine it anyhow)
Everybody else, happy Friday!

Good busy day at work today, my mood has lifted after a follow up e-mail apology from the ex. I don't think we'll be having any contact again which is sad but has to happen for sanities sake.
I've been looking forward to this evening all day. Once I've cleaned the bathroom and had something to eat I'm going to crank the heating up (ooh the extravagance) and top to toe pamper with all the half bottles/tubes from the cabinet. Splashed out on a hair colour on the way home too even though I'm super skint already this month. Ironing and laundry can wait until the morning.
Off to make a start; I want to be stripped to spa by 8!
Catch you later.
