Good morning everyone
I ended up only working 12 hours yesterday so it was not so bad. I'm meant to have a day off today but been called in to delivery drive again from 4pm so planning on having a bit of a rest until then although knowing me I wont
I've got to sort out some bits for mum and dads house sale and move today so fingers crossed I can get hold of people without too much bother. We have decided to swap estate agents as the original one is awful and not got one person round to look at it! We need to sell it so we hopefully don't need to use all our money to buy the one near us!!! I'm going to instruct searches on the one we are buying to help slow that down a bit too so fingers crossed these new agents do their job and get it sold. We have reduced it by £15K too so surely there is no excuse now! Pray for me people - I now know why we had decided never to move again
I also need to finish two orders and get a bit of housework done and I really need to tidy my craft room as it has got out of hand again. Maybe I need to reconsider that rest I was planning to have
Its an expensive day for us today too as van in garage to have its brakes sorted and we have a plumber coming to sort a problem on our boiler. Fingers crossed they are both quick and easy fixes.
I did get a bonus free dinner last night from delivering as somebody had ordered table service but they were not at the table just as my shift was ending so I came home with jumbo sausage and chips and cod and chips for 4 peopleWhy does free food always taste so much nicer

I am glad to hear your headache has improved and hopefully has disappeared now.
Definitely, the right thing is to change the estate agents for your parents' house. I hope the new agents sell it quickly and for a price your parents are happy with.
