Honey, I shot the dog.

So, last night I got on with my cushion covers. I'm about half way through the first one. I think it'll be good.

I then proceeded to have a practically sleepless night. I ended up getting out of bed and cleaning the kitchen, doing a load of washing, mopping the floors. That kind of thing.

I am working up the courage to get a flatmate. I have to get the spare room clear and painted so that it's ready for whoever ... I quite like living alone with the boy, so it's a real compromise, thinking of getting someone to come and share our space.

Still, the money will be very handy and it might be nice to have some company. I will look at a 6 month period at first to see whether or not I can cope with someone else around. I haven't flatted properly for quite a while and never as the landlady/flatmate.

We'll see.

I've continued the clean up today and have listed a whole lot of stuff on 'Trademe' (kind of like Ebay) to de-clutter a bit. Still lots of stuff to sort out but I'm getting there at least.
