    Accounts updated, washing about to be pegged out, bedrooms tidied, laundry gathered, phone charged, livingroom rescued.

    Debating leaving town to another day as I can get 2/3 boxes on my trolley so I can easily walk to and from the charity shop, then put a light box in one of my big bags for life then I can get it done all on foot and save the bus pass cost. Tomorrow or Friday I can walk into town dropping the suitcases off as I go past and run the errands. I have 12 boxes...so 4 trips max? I can do a bit of grocery shopping while I'm there and the walk will do me the world of good ;) You know what, I'm going to do it! I'm mad I'm telling you, MAD :eek::rotfl::rotfl:

    My HHC turned into pull more crap out other kitchen cupboards and make my kitchen look like a bomb has gone off... so I'm just going to gut my kitchen thoroughly... I don't need stuff I've not used in years... my herb, spice and baking goods cupboards looks bare... off for another HHC (of most likely many)

    Been cleaning at my LOL's house today. Nipped into town to get a few bits and have just finished a very late lunch.


    I DD2 and DS3 both have after school clubs today but I have to pick up a friend's little one at normal chuck out time.


    Yesterday afternoon's appointment for FIL didn't go well. He has to have a bone marrow biopsy next Tuesday. MIL was very wobbly afterwards.


    I got back at 5.30 (I thought I would be home by 4). DS3 was hugging the white telephone in the bathroom. He said his head hurt. 5 minutes later he pebble dashed the bowl. He put himself to bed and slept round to 7am this morning. He's fine now. I think it's a migraine.


    DUSTY I hope the op took place and that your mum is ok x

    I kept falling over as a kids, dr's checked me over, it seems it is part of my deafness, your balance is in your middle ear, and mine is up the swanny, hence the reason why I fall over.
    That explains why I spent so much of my childhood picking myself up off the floor, too, I reckon. I'm no better now, specially when you add in knees that can go from under me with absolutely no warning.:D

    Pixie on the potty so my vacuuming is on hold until she moves as she is terrified of it.
    Aww, bless.... and it's not as if you can tip her outside like I do with the dogs that don't like the vacuum (don't worry, my back garden is all enclosed and secure, so they are safe out there).:o

    Mumto5 your poor DS has my sympathy; I don't often get those really awful "call-Huey-on-the-big-white-telephone" migraines, but I have had them before, and they are horrid. Glad he's feeling better.

    Bedroom is all done, and we don't have a landing. Am I allowed to do HHCross-stitch, d'you think?:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Afternoon all

    Op went ahead, Mum still in recovery though, hoping it is just a bed issue.

    Paid stuff and governing meeting done.

    Just having a snack then I want to start preparing the garden for the new fence and hoover and mop teh floor.

    May hospital visit later depending on how Mum is.
