Morning ladies

Polka I'm impressed your OH knew the last time AF visited!

Denise I hope your DS3 is on the mend soon

Soappie I hope you have another fun day and the auction goes well

DH finished the ceiling this morning and has put the wall cupboards back up so I have been busy washing them out and putting the stuff back.

I intend to spend the whole day in their sorting and cleaning.

Any tips on cleaning the quarry tiles - they somehow have a fair bit of paint on them!

Denise - I hope that your DS is feeling better soon. If it is glandular fever, it can be quite a long drawn out illness. I've also been thinking about you and your MIL. I was so pleased to hear that she was getting physio, and even walking with a frame. My very best wishes to her.

happy-rags - hope that your DS and his arm are feeling better very soon.

polkadot - hugs for your DS.

So far this morning, I have done one load of washing, and knitted the start of my sock. I undid the bit I did last night as it didn't look right. I then turned the livingroom upside down looking for the instructions which I put away somewhere safely, and finally found them so that I could start again. I searched online, but found so many different versions that I got totally confused!

Right, off to put in some more washing. I should be doing kids' room today, but the older ones are both till asleep, so they can do their own.

dusty - forgot to say. Aster frikartii gets to about two or three ft with me and has blue mauve large single flowers over a long time.

I also love Aster Little Carlow which gets to about three or four feet, with billowing masses of tiny mauvey blue flowers, but sadly over a shorter period. Neither get mildew.

Good morning :hello:

Can I join you please? I'm on a misson to get my house orderly and find I get lots more done when I have some support (usually in the form of my mum nagging! ) Its my day off today and I was planning on being brave and venruring into DD's room which seems to tie into todays list :T I've only had chance to read a couple of pages the thread as its so huge, but hopefully Sunday I can start on the new thread properly.

Serena i'm hoping to have a go at knitting socks too, i've just started knitting again after not doing it for years. My first project is a cupcake tea cosy to get me in the swing again.

awfully glad im not flying this week as today is kids rooms......this is sarahs room.........



OH only realised this morning he had stacked it all infront of her stackerboxes of clothes too... so he had to clamber over it all so she could have a pair of pants to wear today as we had no clean ones anywhere else :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Welcome BumbleBee. You are in the right place for support, we are very good at [strike]nagging[/strike] encouraging;) .

Have found DH MOT certificate for tomorrow
Filled in Enhanced Police Check for work
Car recovery quote

Then wasted a bit of time looking at the Nemo on Ice show. Looks fab. Has anyone been to the NIA at Birmingham, and if so is it a nightmare to get in/out off, park etc?

Gonna go for an active HHC 11.15 till 11.45 and see where that leaves me. Off to make a coffee and pick some suitable music.

Polkadot - I would not be able to wait, I would have been first in-line outside the chemist this morning. Fingers crossed you get the result you want.

Johanne - OMG!! I can see why its getting you down hun. But its just stuff. Give yourself some breathing space and worry about it next week!

polkadot

Oh Johanne-hugs hun

Polka I'm impressed your OH knew the last time AF visited!

I put it on the calendar and he's quite good with that:)

Im going to transfer some money and then go to A&E and will stop at chemist after for me-this driving me mad:rolleyes:Is she visiting or not?

Morning everyone

Nicki - My (6 foot 7) Dad has kept a pickaxe handle (no blade on it though) by his bed since someone tried to break in when I was little. There's a baseball bat by the top of the stairs as well. I know it sounds a bit extreme but we live in the countryside with few neighbours so it's just a precaution really.

Bumble-bee - Welcome to flying, I'm just a newbie but there are some great people on here to nag you

Polkadot - Hope DS is ok, and hope you get the news you want.

I'm off to start on my left-overs from the week - no kids rooms to sort and the guest room is clean for once! So i'll play catch-up today I think. Happy flying today everyone!

johanne
