    Not a fantastic HHC but have remade 2 beds and halfway through third - I LURRVE clean, ironed sheets.
    Emptied WM and put load 3 in
    and had a REAL lightbulb moment - someone (Dusty I thinkdontknow.gif... and someone else dontknow.gif said to change them now don't wait for the old ones to blow...goodidea.gif) posted that M0rris0ns were selling energy saving bulbs 5 for 50p :money: so decided to put one in DS and one in DD bedroom so next time they leave their lights on all day it won't cost me a bl**** fortune. Shall I save the 'expensive' bulbs?

    to do
    peg out load 2 - wipe line - not been used since neighbour's barbie last weekend as used line 1 yesterday
    put away clothes that were airing on maiden
    friday errand - cannot do yet as not got what I need to do it
    [strike]eat choccys[/strike] NO NO NO don't do it (yet:D )
    my bedroom now complete with frame for 5 year old photo of DS and DD with Sully at Eurodisney frame birthday gift from DD bless - this is one of my favourite pics - life was stressful at this point but we have happy memories of this holiday - omg gone all tearful...

    I managed to read all 38 (not too bad as some were outlook invites) emails and now need to file them and follow up 2 or 3 with phonecalls.

    Just found my work trip to birmingham is off next week which I'm pleased about as it was going to be a tiring day.

    Valli i saved some (the ones i remembered) of our old lightbulbs so when we move out we can replace them and take our energy saving ones with us...

    Also, am feeling :A as just had a letter from our letting agents reporting back on recent flat inspection and it noted how clean and tidy the whole place was :)

    good Morning All

    I have been flying this morning ,,I have just sat down after clearing the kitchen
    fed the cat
    washed his dish

    picked up all the biscuits he had thrown all over,,he is worse than a baby
    I have him now asking for things by shouting at me I wish I hadnt,

    I wiped down tops
    wiped down cupboards
    put away 2 hotspots
    swept the floor
    mopped the floor
    still waiting for DH to get up ,,so have to be quiet. He must be sleepy this morning,, hope he is good when he wakes up as he has been in much pain the last few days
    will be in the garden later as I cant get passed some things so will clean up there for today

    well see you soon

    Why has his @r$eface just screamed at me because he didn't take the letter to the GP I asked him to drop in on the way to work??.. seeing as he walks past I didn't think it would be so hard.. Why is it my fault he can't do anything??? Apparently it is MY fault.. quite how we work that out is beytond me.. I aksed him if he had remembered to take it before he popped to shop and he said he had which I assumed meant it was in his bag seeing as he was ready to go.. and there it is on the mantel.. Then he wonders why my eczema has switched itself back on again!!

    I wish as I was as infallible as him!!

    Do you know I agree with you, if you want a job doing do NOT ask a man to do it!!

    Example:- OH tells me he is off to MrT's, do I want anything, so give him a small list and some money to cover list.

    What does he come back with, but a load of stuff none of which is on the list, or in my meal plans for the week and he spent all the money!

    Now I go food shopping on my own, Friday lunchtimes, it gets the job done, I get what I have planned from the next week, and I am sure it costs a lot less, as I don't have a trolly of 'maybe we might eat this' etc !!

    blissysmile.gifWell done you!

    shall I post you mine then? I am not moving I hate moving - DD1 of serial mover. DD2 and I have moved once each since we left home to get more bedrooms - we both hated moving and when we moved we stayed in the same town (sis moved to the next road...) and I have been married twice! (No kids with ExH 1 - I was young and foolish;) )

    (have given self stiff talking to - was thinking about how awful it must've been for DD and DS living through that time because somebody had some very stupid and mistaken notions)

    good grief that line was filthy! washing now out will go and finish off upstairs

    Hi Kaat

    I like the idea of your cat shouting at you...mine gives me a right mouthful if she has been shut out in the cold and damp...she has a right filthy mouth!
