Property Tycoon

And I ain't talking about the computer game :) Phil and I have been up to a number of things today, but perhaps the most entertaining was a game of Monopoly we had in the late afternoon. I got seriously slaughtered by Phil the last time we played, which sucked, but what goes around comes around dunnit! I managed to bankrupt Phil to the point where he gave in after he landed on Mayfair, on which I'd just placed 3 houses, meaning he had to pay up £ 1400, which he didn't have :) Har Har, so I won! Yipee! Respect redeemed from my previous poor performance - not that I gloat that much about winning such things, but you know, I thought it was worth a mention! :)

So apart from playing board games, we've had a pretty busy day really and continued to clear out all the clutter we'd manage to collect since moving in to the house. With Phil being home it means I can get him to go into the attic and sift through what we have up there so it can be sorted into what we want to keep and what can go down the dump. By making space up there it also means that we can put other stuff which has been lurking around the house and whilst isn't needed for our every day lives is still either valuable or just impossible to part with (like the 100's of CD's we've got between us, and since they are all on the computer there isn't much reason for them to be in the study).

It takes a good hour or two to shuffle things around but by the time we're done the shed is virtually empty and we've got a huge pile of stuff to take to the dump, so we load up the car and head over to the landfill where it seems everyone else has got a similar idea and are also partaking in their annual clear outs.

After the first trip we then get some lunch and after that load up the car a further 2 times to get rid of more stuff, but which time the weather has decided to lend a hand by throwing down some heavy rain and hail so we get soaked to the bone by the time we've actually finished.

There isn't much left of the day by the time we've done so what is left is spent having a bath and watching TV, in particular X-Factor Battle Of The Stars, and oh dear... I don't think Sharon Osborne is Rebecca Loos newest fan after a few fiery comments regarding knickers, and the apparent inability of Ms. Loo's to keep them where they should be! Ooo everyone loves a good celebrity bitch fight!
