Need to ring the roofer and then collect DS1 from school due to his foot and then get DS3

Gryfon

Hiya
Bedroom is now decluttered and just needs cleaning. I need to finish the last few christmas cards too. Will worry about presents next week. Think i'll phone the vet and see how spotty puppy is getting on. Think i'm having withdrawal symptoms from her cuddles! xx

Mudbath, I wish I lived closer so I could help you out while you recover. I was thinking bad idea close to xmas but maybe the best choice as there is more people off work etc then anyway and maybe your DH will be home more
AnW'sMum ((hugs)) I don't like my window cleaner either, they charge me £5 but do the conservatory and we have the double doors in the dining room etc but I know when I am not here they miss some as a neighbour told me

DP just irritated me sending me pictures of puppies, I said he can have one when he helps with the dogs we have! I do love my animals but have put my foot down and apart from fish (as the boys help with those) no more animals.

All the boys presents apart from slot machines in the garage are in the ottoman! Time for 5 mins sit down before I go to get DS2.

I suppose I better go collect DS1 and nephew from school.
Back in half an hour.

Mudbath

Lil_me - are you moving again? What have I missed? I know what you mean about so close to christmas but my dh is off work for two weeks, my sister is over from the states for two weeks and my parents are around so that's lot of people to help with the children!!! Also, if I leave it until January, when the time comes i'll wish i'd already had it done. You can all keep me sane on here. I can sit with my feet up ordering you all around and pigpen can only shout at me if I do something....bliss!!!! So many positives:rotfl: xx

Hello everyone, welcome to all the newbies:hello:

Have only just managed to get my internet to behave long enough to get on here:mad:

I have pottered looking for Christmas pressie ideas this morning, didn't buy anything though, my DS has his Birthday on 25 December as well so I am trying to come up with something for that too, he will be 19 is at uni & has just asked for money, but I think it's nice to have pressies to open.

The main dailies have been done, so I'm pleased about that.

Sarahs hope you are feeling ok today

Crafty & Toots...yes, my weekend was what I needed

Pink I havn't fully caught up with how you are, but hopefully improving slowly

Mudbath hugs for the forthcoming op (I may be joining you, it's one of my options,I'll find out on the 9th) & gentle hugs for spottypuppy.

Hugs to all who need them xx

Hollyh hope the antibiotics kick in soon, toothache is horrid ((((hugs)))) xx

The more regular cleaning coupled with missing windows could back fire on them as they might be getting sacked! It's just so frustrating as they know that it is just us three now and I can't help thinking they are using that to their advantage in so much as 'she won't want any hassle so we will try it on' kind of thing. Well they picked the wrong person!

I go collecting on my pa's window cleaning round... I had one woman try it on last time saying she had paid him when he went collecting on the Friday after they were last cleaned.. my reply.. 'well, actually he didn't come collecting the last time for 2 reasons, one of them being he was at his brothers funeral, the second being it was halloween and noone would answer the door the 2 days previous so it would have been a waste of time.. I came on the Wednesday and the Thursday and can categorically state you did not pay me'... aaaand she hands over the £7.00... some people REALLY take the pee!!

I think some people are often a bit shocked how quickly the 4 weeks come round!! I've been ollecting for about a year now and perfected the art of knowing who takes the pee and who doesn't... tell you what though we've had loads cancel of late 'cutting back' supposedly..

The big Georgian ones here with the proper leaded glass are £5-£7 a house.. depending on area (ie income) and number of windows.
