if there was snow on my forecast for tomorrow!! It is supposed to drop to freezing overnight, but it's the sun I care most about, because there's been more of it and the plants are sprouting out all over.

I've FINALLY washed my bedding. It has been waiting so long I couldn't even telly ou how long it has been. I have a REALLY bad feeling it might have been closer to Christmas than Easter! Still, it's dne now, and dry... all without detergents! And DS has offered up a new challenge for my detergent-free laundry ball. He came home covered in red and yellow paint, all over his sweater and trousers. On a Monday. So I've actually done three loads of washing today - all without the extra rinse since there's no detergent. I'm feeling quite good about how much water and electricity that must have saved in just one day. I'm afraid I will never be at the level where I can handwash everything, and I think my bedding has contributed enough to saving water in the last few months. So I'm just happy if I can make substantial cutbacks. Especially since the stupid water company goes round overcharging everyone by estimating about 5 times what the actual bills should be. They're going back on my list of people to *deal with* and there will be tears before bedtime if they don't get it fixed to my satisfaction this time.

I have also bullied a few other people today - the warehousing agent for a start. He was supposed to call me back on Friday and didn't, and from what I've heard he's pretty pathetic, so when I got his reception this morning I said this would be the last time I ever made contact about a property under their company if I didn't get this sorted today. I was speaking to him a few moments later. Then I told him to go and negotiate with the owners for a lower price and get back to me today or tomorrow. I'll be callng him by lunchtime so he'd better not plan on calling me too late!

All this sunshine has me back in a seriously kick-a$$ mood. Whose a$$ do you need to kick this week?? Ready, aim, KICK! Go on, you'll feel so much better for it!!

kicking your own a$$ counts too I reckon.

tax registration here I come! Whoopee!!!
