What a State to get into

Oh lorks a lordy I've got myself into a right old tizz today. We are ready to progress the front room and just as other half is putting up the new radiator, ping, out goes his back. Talk about so near but so far away. He's been crawling about on the floor painting the skirting boards and reckons he'll start the papering tomorrow. Hmm. Managed to get a right bargain at B & Q. I just wanted plain creamy paper and as the walls are pretty ropy it had to be fairly thick. Not having bought any paper for about 6 years I was horrified at the price when I overheard two assistants talking about clearing one of the shelves and bingo, exactly what I wanted at £2 a roll.

The other cause of tizziness comes down to Ebay. Not Ebay itself but a posting I made. About two years ago I bought a two seater loose cover sofa with a pair of spare covers which I was told were new. Well the sofa has moved on and I thought I would sell the spare covers. Posted them last week but only yesterday bothered to go into the loft to find them They were not new. Spent a frantic hour trying to amend the listing [ too near finishing time] then emailing bidders to warn them. Had some bids retracted but the person who won them this afternoon did not respond. I have emailed again just to give them another chance. Meanwhile this lovely sunny morning thought I'd just run them throught the machine, they're cream and looked a bit dingy in daylight. Of course the sunny morning rapidly turned to cloud and drizzle and I've got nowhere to dry them, and when they do dry I've got to iron them. I ask you, was it worth it?
