Hello everyone
Well after a hectic few days have finally put the houses on the market, its all very different from when I last sold a house, this evening was spent booking photographers, man to do the room planning and the guy to do the energy certificate, which we cant sell without, think its all sorted but we shall see. However the down side to all this is I shall have to spent tomorrow night sorting both houses out as the photographer is coming at 9.45 on Wednesday, oh joy
Saturday was spent in the garden sorting that out, it looks much better now, however the allotment has had to be forgotten for a while and now its raining I don't know when I'll get back over there, soon I hope
Have booked sister and I free tickets for the Spring Trade Fair at the NEC Birmingham in February, which should be a laugh, there are a couple of thousand stalls there so we wont be lost for things to look at, just hope we can find what we want
The weather has gone quite chilly just lately, have had to put the AGA on, which I was hoping I wouldn't have to do just yet, but it will look good when people come to look at the house
Well sorry its so short, but lots to do as always
Take care
Kathy

Getting further behind
Hello everyone
Well a very productive day, spent the morning washing the car at first and then went over to the allotment where I was horrified at the state of the weeds, honestly, you go away for a week and it runs wild, anyway spent the rest of the morning digging and weeding some of it, it will take most of the week to dig it all but it will be good exercise for me, and I have to do as much as possible to get my wretched cholesterol down. Had some beans ready to be picked as well as the rest of the sweetcorn, the potatoes are ready to be dug up as well, its not been a very good year on the allotment for some reason this year, but on the plus side the lawn is starting to improve, very slowly
In the afternoon I went down to bids to watch Midsommer Murders as well as doing some work on my tapestry cushion, don't have a lot more to do on it now then I shall have to find something else to do
Read some of the comments about my story that was top of the Enterprise Nation web site yesterday, everyone said very positive things which was nice and I'm still really pleased and surprised that I've been on there, have to say if anyone had said I'd be on something like that a couple of months a go I'd have suggested they got help hee hee. Also emailed Giselle Graham asking for one of their trade brochures so I can see what sort of things they do as its not very clear from the web site, but at least I have an idea of which trade fairs to go to now thanks to their web site
Spent a very peaceful evening watching the Agatha Christie programmes on ITV3
Well that's about it, take care everyone

Oh dear
Hello everyone
Oh dear not been keeping up with this lately, have been so busy this week that by the evening I've just felt really tired and not in the mood for sitting in front of the computer at all
Anyway have finally got the front door painted as well as the wall and ceiling where the plastering was done, also managed to do some work in the garden, although it has to be said not as much as I would have liked to, but I did manage to get the lawn mowed which was to main thing, although the grass will need to be sorted out at some stage
Had to go and have my cholesterol checked again this morning, should know the results either tomorrow or Monday with some luck, then spent this evening sorting out the paperwork for the Apple Day stall and some of the pictures for the three framed hanger that I got from the Garden Room in Cromer, a brilliant shop and well worth a visit if you're in the area, tomorrow I'm off to Cromer again with Bid and Liz to see the house again, have spent some time working out the rough costs and its not as bad as I thought, I think, so fingers crossed
Have been forced to put the heating on most of the time tonight as is gone quite chilly, and this house doest tend to feel cold, will be putting the AGA on soon at this rate
Well that's about it for the time being, will let you know how I get on tomorrow
Take care

Back home again
Hello everyone
Well back home again after a lovely week in Norfolk, took loads of pictures, watch out for some of them here and on the web site, but also spent lots of money on lovely things, including a lovely lighthouse lamp that looks great in my dinning room
The advert for the web site is now in Coast magazine, it looks very good and hope it generates some business
Tomorrow am off to see a lovely house in Cromer with Bid, its got 7 bedrooms so we shall be able to divide it up between us so we have our own sections, hopefully it will be just what we need, its even got a sea view from the upstairs rooms and across to the lighthouse, and if it is OK I'll be able to open the gallery straight away as will have made plenty of money. Had a chat with plenty of gallery owners last week and they gave me loads of advise about opening something, met a very nice person who will hopefully be a good friend, she said I should open a gallery in Cromer which would mean I can walk to work and that would be lovely
Well not a lot to say tonight as have a few other things to do, will update more tomorrow after I've seen the house
Take care

Yippee off on holiday at last
Hello everyone
Well after a long and very stressful day I'm finally on holiday and tomorrow I'm off to the North Norfolk coast for a week of well earned rest, thank goodness, sadly however my mobile broadband doesn't work up there so unless I can continue with this from my iPhone it might be some time before you hear from me again, although you can follow me on Twitter if you really want to
Sadly also this is going to be very short as I'm rather tired and still have a few things to do, so I'm off
Take care

Almost in holiday mood
Hello everyone
The arrival of my last Sherlock Holmes DVD cheered me up no end after a not very good day, am still fighting them off with a water pistol and I don't think I'm winning somehow, anyway one more day and then I'm off on holiday.Thankfully Sherlock Holmes DVD was The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is my favourites so enjoyed that no end, a long with a glass of Baileys. As well as the DVD I had another Susan Hill book Shadows in the Street which is the current Simon Serrailler novel, they're well worth reading, as are all her books as I said last night, am looking forward to reading it and The Small Hand while on holiday
An evening of rushing around, mowed the lawn and washed the car as well as doing a load more washing and drying as well as some packing, so it was almost 8.30 before I managed to sit down, tomorrow I just have to do my ironing and finish the packing and then I can rest for two weeks
Well that's about it, too tired to write much tonight
Take care

Cant think of a title tonight
Hello everyone
Sorry cant think of a title tonight so don't have one
Not too bad a day today, spent the afternoon walking a long the river with Katy from work putting the world to rights and generally enjoying the sunshine, have now stopped panicking as have finished one part of my work, tomorrow hopefully I will finish the rest of it
Depressing visit to local town tonight to get wrapping paper for Bids present, that was the depressing thing it was having to go to local town, why don't people watch where they're walking or show some sort of manners in anything, oh well never mind
When I got home my new Susan Hill book, A Small Hand, had arrived, I do love her ghost stories, I started with the Woman in Black, I've seen the stage show more times than I care to mention, and have never looked back, mind you the Magic Apple Tree is a great book as well, can heartily recommend them, mind you there are loads of books I can recommend but more of that another time. Along with book was The House of Fear DVD, which is a Sherlock Holmes film staring the very best Sherlock Holmes ever, Basil Rathbone, am also waiting for The Hound of the Baskervilles, which I taped years ago but the silly new TV wont play videos for some reason, so am now on the hunt for numerous M.R. James films as well as a fair few Daniel Craig ones, especially Hotel Splendide, which has to be one of the funniest films I have ever seen, so shall be spending a lovely evening with a glass of Baileys watching that
Well that's about it, better trot as the washing is about to finish and I need to eat, will recommend some more books tomorrow
Take care
