OrkneyStar - get and do your back exercises... (you would be nagging us...;) )

Well, best laid plans and all that... sewing up my blinds just gone completely out of the window - my friend is coming over to see me so I think maybe I should get dressed and I definitely need a shower, then a manic tidy up upstairs (just in case, will shut all doors anyway) and clean the bathroom while showering (isn't that what we all do? ) so won't get spare room done today like I wanted - it is a tip!

So see you all later...

Morning guys and gals!
Thanks for all the greetings!!!!:A :A :A
I have managed to catch up on this week's thread - took hours - but still havent caught up on last week's so I know I am missing a few things so apologies now if I miss you - it is certainly not intentional! I am going to be asbrief as I can (hard for me I know!!!) as there are loads of replies to do!

Lil_me - hugs to you and the boys on the passing of Sonic - never heard of that kind of hedgehog - hope the boys are not too upset.
Soappie - congratulations on new job - havent found what/where/why it is - must be in last week's thread - hope you are enjoying it and I am sure you will soon get them licked into shape.
Boddy - huge hugs to you and your friends -they must be heartbroken.
PInk-fairy - the puppies are so gorgeous - I want Clyde -Bonnie is beautiful too but i am a sucker for the dark brown and black wee terrier look!!!
Serena -hugs for the hospital poking and prodding - hope it goes well!
Poohbear - good to hear that centre parcs went well and DS is improving.
Dusty hope you are feeling brighter -thanks for the mention!!!!
Vivw -hugs for you and your DS - glad to hear he is on the mend and back at his home - what a lovely place.
Greenbee hugs for you and yours - it must have been really hard to visit your grandfather knowing how ill he is. I hope your visit to Leeds isnt too eventful. Sounds like good progress with the Utility room -did you get the garage cleared in the end??
Rach - positive and relaxing vibes for DH - hope I am not too late - I am sure he will do fine once he gets started.
Supergirl - congrats on the medal.
Johanne- very well done on the Avon - I did it years ago and it can be a good little earner once you get established and you meet some lovely people. You should get some nice orders for Christmas things.
Mudbath Wow that is some kind of miracle makeover you are having! And 37 crates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! doesnt bear thinking about!!!! hope you get it all re-organised soon but dont be overdoing it - hope the back is a easier. Hows dotty spotty poppy puppy dog doing??
Natty - hugs for you honey - what a PITA about your kitchen - hope it has arrived today - *kick* for OH for being so insensitive/ unhelpful! Dont know what you have done to yourself but hope you get to the clinic and its nothing major to get sorted.
FrankieM- we havent met before but welcome back -I hope being back is helping -I know I couldnt manage half the stuff I do without pigpen's lists and the thread - they are fantastic!
Toochoosey -welldone on the weight loss - you are doing well.
AnW'sMum - I have to agree with you re the PO christmas mail thingy - what a waste of paper - a flyer would have been ideal, green and cheaper I would have thought.
HowGreatThouArt - I think I missed you on my newbies list - welcome to the thread. Squirrel sock puppet - interesting!! LOL!
Hollyh -glad your dad's meal was a success - you can starve yourself today!!!! Its nice to indulge now and then!!!!
Valli hope you are feeling better honey - I used to be like that at school!! I have found something else we have in common (now dont groan!!!!) - you said you had a stall in a flea market -I used to have a shop before i was ill -I was a licensed anitque dealer - mostly the lower end though -could never afford the good stuff!!! I am addicted to it and still go to the auctions -you will enjoy it! I wish I had kept some things but could never afford too (own fault because of my debts!) and thats why I have so much crap lying about- leftovers from the shop and job lots from auctions!!!
G&B I dont know what happened to littlley yet but guess it was something really scary - glad to hear she is home and much better - must have been frightening for you - you feel helpless. Huge hugs for you!
Cardiff nice to see you back - no wonder you flit in and out with the hours you do! I take my hat of to you and I am so glad you enjoy your job. I think Cuthbert is a lovely name for a cello!!!! Is that the new JB film you were going to see - is it good?
Pigpen sad news about the kettle - I hope it was a peaceful demise and it didnt blow a gasket!!! I am sure you will adjust to its replacement in time - maybe after its 1000th boiling!!!!!
What a star you are walking away from that horrible crazy woman - well done you for rising above it- you have every right to be very proud of the way you handled it!
"QUIDCO CHRIMBOBINGO...." dont know anything about this but if I can help by registering then someone please let me know.
Oddjob - nice to have you on board and a chatty male flyer as well - brill!!!
Ok thats some of the replying done - I bet by the time I post this there will be another page to catch up on! Must do some flying today - better go see whats on the lists so far......

That is a hell of a post tooti!!!
LO was rushed to hospital friday night with breathing difficulties(she has a serious heart condition already so bad combo), turned out to be a chest infection - though i read her notes before i left and it said 'Lower lobe pneumonia'. We got out late monday night, think we must have caught it pretty early which was good. Hospital was full of kids with chest infections/pneumonia.

Morning all

Lovely day here so far, sunny and mild. Two loads of washing out on the line, including my bedding, and it's drying well so I've just put in another load.

Dusted and vauumed all the bedrooms. Cleaned all the mirrors. Dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs. Remade my bed.

I've given the lawns a really light cut just to tidy up. I managed to do the front one by reaching halfway across from the path and then going down the far side to reach over the rest. So I've only got one set of footprints by the wall where they hardly notice! The back lawn is like a quagmire anyway because of the dog trundling about on it so I just whizzed over it. It's still a mess but a tidy mess (if that makes any sense at all).

Going to make some little cakes in a minute when I put the oven on to cook dinner.

OK, going to see if any washing is dry ready to make space for the next load.

Oh, and I cleaned off the bottom of the lawnmower before I put it away so I won't get any nasty surprises next time I get it out
