Thanks Mottie - just doing it as a fun run…not good causes to supposeWell done. Our daughter is doing the Brighton Marathon this year. Are you doing it in aid of anything? If so, put a link up.
What have you been doing today?

Yeah there’s a few about still. My extended family own a few. Some make a small fortune. If it pays me back for the building in a few years I’ll be happy
Mrs Mottie is on a mission this morning and has given me no peace. I’m still not dressed yet but she’s gone through my wardrobe and drawers, thinning out what doesn’t fit me or I’ve not worn for years. They’re bloody bare now! Worse of all, she rediscovered my 'collection' of slippers that I help myself to when we stay in a decent hotel. Well, I’ve paid for them! A mans got to have a hobby or two, ain’t he? 
Wait till she finds my collection of soaps, shampoos, shower caps, sewing sets etc in the other bedroom.
She’s decanted all my shoes from the boxes I kept them in too. I found shoes I didn’t know I had!
Said goodbye to at least 30 pairs of socks too - it was getting that I couldn’t shut the drawer. Still got more, mainly my winter collection, in the other bedroom.

I've just been looking online. Some do a collect and drop off service.

OMG I am painting my bedroom bedside cabinets all looking fantastic then disaster. I kicked the paint over and half the can has spilled out onto the carpet, Lena is going to go berserk, OMG. I might rip it up and tell her we should buy a new one without her knowing what I have done. It's only 6 months old but I am going to say the colour doesn't go with the cabinets OMG
Put a plant pot over it

The amount that has come out and ran right along the carpet, I couldn't even lay one of my guitars down over it. I am dreading Lena getting in.
Sold my scooter today. Honda SH300i. Had it from new in 2009. I’m just not using it any more. Young kid came from Hackney for it. Didn’t try to chip me, bought it there and then for the full price. I chucked in a couple of wheel locks, a crash helmet and gloves plus a waterproof jacket as they couldn’t be sold and would have had to have been dumped anyway.
EDIT:
Hmmm. Just been on to the DVLA website to register the change of ownership and can’t seem to find the address he gave me. Oh well, I’ve notified them of the name and address he gave me and that’s about all I can do. Not my job to verify the details given to me by a purchaser. I’ve just run back through my cctv and you can clearly see the cash being counted, handed over and the sale being made plus I have film of the car he arrived in. I have email confirmation of the details I gave to the DVLA and It’s all timed so if I do get a knock on my door any time soon, I can prove that I sold it on the date and time that I did.

There’s a big market from air b n b now from what I’ve been told. I think upstairs might be useful for ironing etc down the line.
You could've chucked in a few free pairs of slippers.
Had to cancel the insurance policy on my bike that I sold yesterday. I paid £59 for the year to insure it. There was only 2 months left but I understand that if you leave the insurance running and the new owner doesn’t insure it and hits something, they can come after payment from your policy so you end up with a claim against your name. Anyway, I went online and after 14 days, the policy cancellation fee was £50! I phoned them up and the bloke I spoke to was very helpful. He said I had £5.90 to come back on the policy but what he would do is alter the cancellation fee to…£5.90. Good service from Bennett’s insurance.
Off to the Cotswolds in a minute.
