  • Afternoon,

    Hope everyone is well and welcome to any newbies/returners. So far today I've showered, cut nails, done laundry and washed up. My aims for the rest of the day are to do errands, tidy up and do more laundry

    Well in my HHC I managed to declutter my desk quite a bit, putting lots of bits of paper in the recycling bin, have accepted a carrier bag full of apples from my elderly neighbour which I'll have to make into a crumble or something, and have also posted a couple of bits on freecycle which are waiting to be approved.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Back from my meeting. Presentation went very well except for one oik who wanted it put in the minutes that he objected to me doing the presentation at all because of my undoubted bias on the subject and self-glorification (or something!) when in fact I had made it completely unbiased and totally factual.

    Fortunately everyone else at the meeting disagreed with him so whilst his protest has been minuted, another minute has been added shooting it down in flames. :D I was congratulated by several people afterwards - they found it interesting and learnt a lot from it.

    Bedding on the line is nearly dry but not quite so I'll go off to Mr. T in a moment for the weekly shop then sort out my bedroom when I get back.

    Way to go Soappie


    Sorry for your troubles Pigpen big hugs...

    Well I did my HHC and then some so the bathroom has been done, stripped the other two beds and made two beds, cleaned the lounge, mopped the kitchen floor, pegged out washing.

    I am now being screamed at by a 15 yo who wants me to take him to his GFs - well he is now swearing and door slamming.

    This will be interesting...

    Afternoon all

    lil-me :(

    Sorry everything is being so rotten pigpen :(

    Three loads of washing blowing madly on the line, including DD's bedding and the throws from the living room.

    My sister came over this morning (we had some paperwork to sort out) so I only had the chance to dust in the living room and vacuum through downstairs. This afternoon I have to go to the post office to send off the paperwork special delivery and then I hope to start emptying stuff out of the bathroom ready for the refit.

    It's clouding up here but the forecast said no rain - hope they're not lying.

    Big hugs and copious vodkas for Pigpen.

    5 yo boys are pretty noisy as well!

    My friend is ill today so we have not gone leaf kicking as planned. We have however been making cookies which are going to be decorated this afternoon. Later we are going to carve a pumpkin that we bought the other day. So no flying here :p
