I want a flymeet I can go to.. seriously we should..
I want a night out on the lash.. and getting very very drunk and talking to god, any god, but Loki sounds fun, and I like Thors biiiiiiig ... hammer...

Piggers you are more than welcome to Loki; he's driving me nuts just lately. While you're at it, would you take Coyote and Baron Samedi as well, please? :rotfl:

Not so sure about Flymeet myself; I seriously doubt I'd ever pluck up the courage to attend.

I did manage to eliminate a Frog today; I have finally finished next years calendar, put all the year's Sabbats and Esbats and all our appointments thus far onto it and put it up behind this year's on the kitchen wall. :T And I cajoled Mr LW into throwing the Dys0n around before hitting the Mario Cart 8 on the WiiU because my shoulder is so painful I could very easily cry.

That's a shame LW. There's a distinct possibility I'm going to be in your neck of the woods in late October, if you live where I think you live. I was wondering if there was any chance of a pub hello, but not to worry if you'd rather not. Speaking of which, Narco, I'm in Bournemouth on the 16th, 17th and 18th this month if you fancy a swift half somewhere. Like you, I'm there to do something so time may be too tight, but if not and you fancy it .... Looking forward to Monday's Flymeet.

I got all of 'em on 7"
They have been in the attic since 1998 - when we moved in here.
I so want to fling stuff from up there; I can't get up there.
Even the Vallikids have leanred to love Sweet!

Mine had been in the attic from 1993 when I moved here until I got [STRIKE]drunk [/STRIKE]merry with OH and a couple of lodgers, there was dancing going on all over the house and I gave all of them except Nut Rocker to the German lodger. Most fun bit of decluttering I've ever done. It was years before Ebay and he was a huge fan of British pop so I gave him my entire singles collection and I've never missed them or regretted it. Still love Nut Rocker and soooooo glad I didn't let that go.

I think more Flymeets are needed . . . . . . .:D

Quite. *Coping vibes* heading your way.

Bathroom sparkly, ground floor carpets sucked, shopping done and put away. OH did a load of laundry while I was out because he needed something or other and had the foresight to check the weather forecast and there's a 24 hour window. I heart OH.

Successfully decluttered the boy today. Hopefully, I'll see the same success with the daughter tomorrow. It'll be quiet here, that's for sure.

Been pootling about getting things done, I think it's going to take a while to undo the shedloads of junk I've got here, and also to undo the [STRIKE]lazy[/STRIKE] bad habits I seem to have picked up.

Anyway, here's what I've done:

Marvellous Monday - Love your lounge
Level 1
[STRIKE]Open Windows
Plump cushions
Empty Bins[/STRIKE]
Remove anything which doesn't belong here
[STRIKE]Deal with magazines/newspapers - recycle the old ones[/STRIKE]
Attend to cut flowers and pot plants

Level 2 - Not done (yet)
Level 3 - Not done (yet)

Uniform all labelled and pressed.

Triffic Tuesday
Bathroom blitz....
Level one
[STRIKE]Open windows[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Remove rubbish
Take toothglass downstairs for washing
Remove towels[/STRIKE]

Level 2 - Nope, not yet
Level 3 - Nope, not yet, except, Put out clean towels

Wednesday Wipe day - kitchen dining
Level 1
[STRIKE]Open windows[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Empty bins[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Clear sides, wipe, wipe what lives there and replace
rehome all worktop gibble[/STRIKE]
Clean table - polish/wipe and chairs, too

Level 2 - Maybe tomorrow
level 3 - Perhaps another day, except PUT ALL POTS AWAY

I had a few errands to run this morning, along with a doctors appt. Also had the girl with me, so we took time out for a coffee in town. She's almost 13 and growing up fast...I take every opportunity to spend time with her as she'll be off with her friends more and more.

Himself is studiously keeping out of my way, as I met him earlier after I'd been at work, only to find he'd already had that one drink too many because I'd 'taken so long to get there' and then proceeded to have two more. Yes, because I have been at work all day.

Stomped back, having bought a dish drainer on the way in case the DW repair man pronounces death tomorrow and passed the minicab company 250yds from the house, who were advertising for daytime controllers with experience. I know he's done that job before. I also now he didn't particularly like it - but he's done it before AND it's right around the corner. I stopped in front of the sign to look at it, he stopped and looked, and then I just gave him the steeliest do-not-trifle-with-me-child look that reduces teenage boys into yes Miss, no Miss, sorry Miss in an instant.

Came home to find the kitchen like a pigsty, complete with all the remaining food from the fridge abandoned on the countertop getting warm and poisonous because he hadn't bothered putting it back into the fridge.


I still haven't spoken to him because there has been no need, especially until he completely sobers up. I wonder when he's going to try and say something?

Hi girls...finally caught up with all the news!

I'm up for a flymeet if anyone is nearish to me? Iona and I have met up before, so hopefully she'll vouch that I'm not a weirdo

Boys have been back at school since Monday and since then my feet haven't touched the floor as I've been rushing around trying to get things done that were forgotten/abandoned during the holidays.

Oh, and I'm hoping the granite worktop people show today...third time lucky? DH is furious, but I just want my kitchen sorted, so am keeping him away from them.

Currently on week eight without a washing machine. My friends are helping me with that, but starting to lose it with the builders, sparkies, plumbers and other tradesmen who are all starting to get up my nose...and breathe...

Looking forward to wedding news MrsMP xxx
