I quite like sprouts, with chestnuts and bacon. I cannot abide Xmas pudding, but like fruit cake so long as it's not too heavy. But then I also like liver and cabbage (not necessarily together) but am not fond of chips or chocolate, so I'm not normal by any means.

Cleaner is coming to spend tomorrow afternoon with me. She's a bit like a helper - she'll help me clear, move round furniture etc, anything that needs doing which will be wonderful. I've had a lightshade for the living room for well over a year that I haven't fitted as me and step ladders don't mix and she's more than happy to do things like that, so will be great.

s/e - hope you're on the mend today. Raeh, we worry about people when they're not here for a while you know. You never call, you never write! tee hee.

BTW, BZ, I do believe that stupid woman, Nadine Baggot, should be shot. Smug wench.

Right, I'm off to read Thursday's newspaper! Hope the sun is shining in your lives today.

I'm feeling a bit better thanks, CwtA. I had another early night last night, but I'm probably about to undo all the good it's done me as I've got 4 weeks worth of ironing that needs catching up on. I've had enough of the just climbed out of the laundry basket look and it's been giving me the leery eyeball for long enough.

Gonna have some lunch first though. Then I'll put the iron on to heat up. Then I'll knit a few more rows of the neckband of my cardigan...

Good luck with tomorrow - I'm sure the place will look wonderful once she's been and you'll be wondering why you put it off so long.

Right! Time for lunch.

I will catch up with you all properly later.

Ooh, Raeh. Do make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get over this. Take it from someone who knows - this is not the time to go overdoing things. Havign said that, I do hope you're feeling better soon.

Wot she said. On both counts.

Maybe take your own medicine too s/e and pace yourself with the ironing? It doesn't all have to be done at once.
I quite enjoy ironing

Acksherly, I get quite a lot of satisfaction out of a basketful of ironed laundry. And I do tend to pace myself - iron a few items then sit and rest for 10 - 15 minutes before doing the next few items. I can do it all in one go, but I tend to end up unable to walk by the time I've finished 'cos my feet and knees hurt so much.

And this time I've gone through the the pile and taken out anything that I can get away with not ironing.

i find it really satisfying turning a crumpled mess into a neat and nicely smelling item. am also BZZ Consumer testing a Philips Steam Generator iron whic ends yp steaming up the windows in the living room it's so powerful.
Stick a play for today or audio book on and I'm gone.
However, although I have ironing to do, I have to clear up so the cleaner can get in the door tomorrow
Lunch first though.

Hi Wolfie ,

Of course the other very apt name for him was Tory Blur .

Love,

Coo, is it any good? I'm sure I'm due to blow up my iron fairly soon - this one's been going for a good 3 years now.

Erm... if you don't have lunch 'til gone 3, what time do you end up having dinner?

S/e Iron is really good in performance, but some niggles with design. They do cost upwards of £90 though! I only had to pay P&P of £20 for mine luckily.
Just wondering about logistics of posting you my old one - Bosch, perhaps a year old?

And I have lunch when I'm hungry! *grin* Sometime around 8ish. My eating pattern is as screwed up as my sleeping.

p'd off as after 4 visits my dishwasher still isn't working. No leak anymore, but that seems to be because I now have no water to it or the washing machine. And I'm heartily sick and tired of the whole saga.
Right, off to do Xmas cards.

p.s. I always called Blair "Smiling Lad".
