Darn it to Heck!!!

Important - thank you justjill for your comment.  I feel like I have had the most amazing hug.  To have someone who can do all sorts of pictures to make such a kind comment is wonderful.  Thank you.  I shall definitely have a play.  But your pics are amazing!  Justjills blog with the amazing pics is here

Now for the 'Darn it to Heck' part.  All the electric sockets in the kitchen, dining room and walk in cupboard just blew.  DH reset a thingy and it's back working now, but I was a little stressed.  I have been worried about the wiring for a few years now, and I think now we need to act soon.  We need to get it all rewired and it's going to be a challenge.  Actually, I think it's going to be a CHALLENGE!  The house is incredibly cluttered, everything is out of place, I don't know where to start getting everything cleared out before what will be an incredibly difficult and messy operation and I don't even know where to start looking for a good electrician.  The plumber who came to mend my sink was, well, it doesn't leak quite as much now but I'm going to have to buy a can of that spray on leak stop.  If I can't work out how to get a good plumber, how do I work out how to get a good sparky?  And it's going to be expensive - it's a four bedroom house. 

Also, I lose focus really easily.  I need to stay on track and get rid of around half the contents of the house.  However I'm also determined to get writing, get working on publicity, and at least get pin money from blogging.  And I am currently getting daily three hour driving lessons (no casualties today but I stalled in some embarrassing places).  Also bear is now on his summer break and needs a little fuss on a regular basis.  I am going to have to find a way of pulling myself together and getting on with things because it is absolutely possible. 

But it could all be worse.  I was kindly given an advance copy of a book, Dangerous Liaisons by Barbara Tyree, and the review on my writing blog is here.  I'm planning on reviewing a book most Tuesdays, so if any fellow authors are reading this and would like me to review anything then leave a comment or get through to me on Facebook and I'll see what I can do.  I will always be honest, but I promise I will do my best to be kind. 

For those not caught up in writing, please send good vibes.  I so much writing and a swathe of housewifery fails to catch up on and a three hour driving lesson tomorrow evening.  I'm feeling flattened at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find a silver lining.  I found this, and it cheered me up.  I hope it adds a smile for you as well.  It reminded me of evil cat, just before she struck on an unsuspecting toe.
