So sad to be missing the Brighton meet - nieces do have their birthdays on inconvenient days, don't they?

Get a large box and sweep everything into it, or push everything under the bed. Expats withdrawal symptoms tomorrow then???

Good plan Larissa - make such a mess that she can't complain! As for the problem of getting to and from the computer - just get TO it, and stay there!!!

I too am house doctoring at the mo, just finishing little girls room, pink walls, pink organza curtaining, glitter glaze on the walls and resplendant wth a pink glitter ball hanging from the ceiling - knew you'd be proud of me Larissa!!!
Not too sure what prospective buyers will make of it though. I guess they expect kids rooms to be a bit off the wall... or is it just me?....

We've just laid a new laminate floor in the kitchen and are looking at changing the cupboard doors as they're foul! Our friend fits kitchens, so he's gonna come 'round and give us some advice and help. Looks much better, but the house is a wreck!
