    Today is a beautiful bright day. I have washed some clothes and am about to empty out my old bedroom furniture for the new (er from fleabay) ones that are arriving today.

    In between I am watching some tv.

    Don't worry when I first moved in here my carpets were as old as my house and older than you and me combined!!!!!

    Builder has gone to pick up my new coat fleabay from post office and also first chest of drawers. The owners of chest of drawers live in a house in the middle of nowhere! I hope he can find it.

    The first set of drawers came this morning, they were much bigger than I had thought they would be but they look great. My delivery driver couldn't collect the second chest of drawers - my new dressing table so to speak as he was worried about he size so the sellers have kindly agreed to deliver it to me tomorrow.

    Dead excited to move all my stuff in tomorrow.

    I have had to resell the new gorgeous coat as I am too fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WAAAAAAAAAAH.

    I am so glad the house is nearly tidy. My store room needs a good going through as I put loads in there but the majority of the house is done. I would like to mow the grass this week too. Only a few weeks then we have summer holidays I can't wait. I will have a wage drop next year but hopefully I will still have a job I hope.

    I had a looooong day today at work but I achieved all I'd planned to. I will not have a day off this week I don't think. I will see if I can take two days next week in lieu.

    My ebay buyer collected the biggest of my for sale items of furniture today and the house is so airy right now!!!

    No more buying anything now I am counting the pennies till payday.
