Naked posting
Jun. 1st, 2009 11:16 pmToday, Paz and I got up early, emptied our wardrobes and dismantled the bed. The carpet fitters arrived at 12:00 and were gone half an hour later. We has a bedroom carpet! And the most expensive underlay. These things lead to happy feets :D
We're not too sure how they actually got the carpet laid, as the door wouldn't move across it. We've taken the door off its hinges and borrowed a plane from my Dad to take a couple of millimetres off the bottom. We spent the rest of the day moving all the furniture back into the room, dusting each piece carefully to quarantine as much plaster dust as possible. We now have sufficient Tetris space in the spare room to start dealing with the rest of the house.
Of course, with Paz being home and us doing housey things, I totally forgot that it was monday. I should have been at the job centre this afternoon to sign on, but it was 6pm before I remembered what day it was. Doh! Does anyone have a creative lie I can use to explain my absence? Although I'm not sure it's worth a lie. It's not like they're actually giving me any money. Bastards. NI credits on their own aren't worth the hassle.
It's 11pm and the thermostat reads 24°C. I'm pretty sure today is the hottest it's been in Newcastle for about 2 years. Last year, summer didn't happen at all. It's been very hot all day and I've worked very hard in the house, so I took a nice cooling shower and haven't bothered with any nightclothes. Or a bathrobe. Hence, the naked posting.
Nighty night, all :D
( PS: As advertised, lolcats made me lol. Without the cats. )
