    Third coat all done now just need to wait and hopefully it will be enough. If not fourth coat tomorrow.:eek:

    Need to get some food on for everyone, reload WM. Whole house looks alright but i'll crack on with the lists tomorrow.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Evening all

    Just popping in to say that I've decluttered a tooth at the dentist this afternoon and I'm now biting on the umpteenth piece of cotton wool to stop the bleeding. No cuppa, no food... But at least the toothache should be gone.
    I'll be back later when DS2 is in bed, as I don't really feel like doing anything at the moment. DH is playing in bowles cup final, so not much help.

    See you all in a bit.

    Hi guys. Friday at last, wm on, dw on. Last set of reports decluttered. And got the old economy 7 meter changed for a brand new one for free :money:

    :T:money::T:money::T:money:

    Washing in off the line, OH decluttered to hospital visiting, both dogs fed and watered at different times and I'm now decluttering 2 baked tatties with butter, cheese and syobes :D

    BiL was at afternoon visiting. FiL has not had his cat scan today as they were too busy and they only use scanner for emergencies over the weekend so it will be monday now:mad: I will know more when OH gets back.

    Toots oooooooo can you rig up a camera next to your bin to see who it is if they come back again. I take it you tried the cd out??? maybe you have a stalker and he leaves love songs/messages via cd!

    I've just realised what a boring life I lead everyone is lunching and drinking wine and I'm sitting here on my own, DS1 setting up at T in the park, DS2 upstairs glued to computer and DD has went next door to play. :(:(:(
    I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged
  • Hugs FFP and MrsChaos.

    Boddy so glad you had a happy day, here's to many many more, you deserve them. *raises glass of water as can't have wine out of solidarity for DH until he has finished marking* jealous of you penpen.

    Have scrubbed two small girls and DD1 is reading DD2 stories (by mutual request). How long can I keep that one going??

    Neighbour's 4 year old boy came to visit earlier...without either parent or babysitter :eek:
