Balloons!

I have a smart car full of very pretty balloons. We went to the balloon people at lunchtime today and they have blown up a few for us and let me keep them. I think we have decided what to have, which is chocolate brown and cream coloured ones with pink ribbons. I was debating having fuschia pink balloons but they haven't got exactly the right colour and it kind of clashes with the brown, so... Anyway.

I picked Nick up from his work and he came out carrying this yellow fluffy duck thing which is basically shaped like a ball and you put your hand up its arse and it squeaks out a song. Truly bizarre but Nick knew that I would like it. It's to cheer me up. Apparentely i've been a bit stressy lately.

I had a viewing earlier today with this couple who were quite into their 'spirituality'. They were telling me all about their Chinese style living room and how they have two gigantic stone dogs which ward off the evil spirits. Oh yeah, they also have 5 parrots and 5 cats. I actually quite warmed to them and their crazy ways. I've just been to a house that is going to be really difficult to write up because there were about 10 outbuildings and vineries along with the main house. Ah well, keeps me busy.

Tonight folks, I'm forcing Nick to have a real sort through of all the crap left at the old house and hopefully I'll be home in time for BB. I'm guessing it starts at 8 but I'm not sure. Wonder what crazy madia whores will be in the house this year! Talking of telly, we had a letter come around the office today which was from the BBC asking for applications for the Weakest Link! They must be doing a local one here. I don't think I could stand up to the Robinson though...
