BORING!

Okay, so I know I haven't been on here for a while. But seriously, that's because there has been nothing happening at my place. And, lets face it, no one reads this crap anyway.

Apart from Fluffy having more time off with pneumonia and Dobby having a head cold, little has been happening. Endless rounds of work, housework, sleep, work, housework, sleep.

We did, however, decide to swap around Dobby's room and the office. Man, what a chore that turned out to be. We started it Saturday and we're still going. Don't expect photos, because I just don't have time to take any, and the rooms are too difficult and small to really photograph anyway.

Saturday Dobby started cleaning her room. Sort of. Then I stripped off the 3 bookshelves from the office. Once Dobby had moved enough rubbish off her floor we were able to move her bed aside and shift the 3 bookcases out of the office into her room. I also had to take my work table apart. Not literally of course. So that ended up on it's side, with it's legs at head level, in the hallway for all to bash themselves sensless on. But Saturday night we got Dobby's bed into the other room.

On Sunday her friend came over and they spent the day sorting through some of Dobby's mess. Well, they did to a little. I did heaps. But then hit a snag because I can't get anymore done. See, I wanted Fluffy to move the table outside. But he figured we could get rid of a cupboard of Dobby's that she didn't need, and her almost-new desk, and put my table in the office instead.

So he moved them into the middle of the office. Now, I can't get to any thing behind it - books to put away, powerpoint to set up my desk again, the rest of Dobby's stuff. So, we ground to a halt. There are piles of books and bags of clothes lining the hall and spilling into the lounge, and the only available space in the office is now crammed with crap waiting for other stuff to be moved before we can continue.

Solution? Phone the Salvos and see if they'll come pick up the cupboard and desk, and all the books and bags as well. Then we can access the other stuff needed to finish.

And who will do that? Me. When I have a tick. Probably after I finish posting this....

It has to be clean for next weekend anyway (not this one, luckily), as I have a Postie Fashions party planned. Sigh. Things we do to ourselves!

We certainly do a lot of things to ourselves!

But it would have to be good to top the 'bash themselves senseless'. I started giggling. At work....

I like reading your crap! Why don't you have a garage sale instead of giving it to the salvo's? Love RAT

Rat, honestly, who has time to prepare one of those? And, because it's raining here nearly every day, I have nowhere to store anything. And, in Adelaide garage sales mean 6.00 am knocks on the doors. No thanks!

Oh, but by the way, thanks for saying you like reading my crap :-) xx

I also love reading what you call your "crap"! Makes my daily "crap" sound positively boring lol. I don't really care if you have really done is paint your toenails...always nice to hear what you guys have been up to...its kind of our own little "Day of our Lives" *giggle* And like Sol I had to burst out laughing at the bashing yourselves senseless! All that violence makes your blogs fun to read lol. We are having a garage sale. We have all mums junk plus ours stored under the house for a time when we can set one up...and yes people will knock on your door from 5:30am onwards (at least they did last time!) by MM is up at 4:00am so he can deal with it lol.

*sorri* Sorri just had to laugh

Oh and we had called Lifeline and the Salvos once to pick up old furniture which wasn't really that old and in good nick but neither would take it as it wasn't new enough! If it was near new we'd keep it ourselves! We did find friends who wanted it though so they took it.
