    Morning all.

    Washing on line to see if I can get it dry before the rain sweeps in...looks like we're in for a damp weekend though so it might be the TD for me. Had my bath - but I had to clean it first as I must have forgotten to let the cat out yesterday evening and we haven't got a tray in...at least it's very easily disposed of and cleaned up and my stardrops squirty was up there. Put the bathroom bin and toilet brush holder in when I got out so they are draining now.:D
    Have e-mailed xmas venue as I assume we are due to a VAT refund now...we are going in Dec. so I think VAT will apply then and not now IYSWIM. Anyhow I'm going to go and visit the gnomes on the tax board and see what they say then I am armed ready for the 'no you can't have a refund' reply.
    At least I will have copies of what has been said!:D

  • Good morning! Can I come and join in again, please :o Thanks to help I've had from this thread in the past, my home is cleaner and tidier than ever, but I just need a bit of a push to get it "perfect" in time for the Festive Season ;) I have 6 days off work, so this seems like a perfect opportunity :j

    I'm off to make a list of what needs doing, so will be back later.

  • Good Morning Ladies:hello:

    Just a quick one, all went well. I am a little sore and i also got the shakes so my legs are aching terribly. Although i was dreading it the nurses were absolutely fabulous at keeping my dignity as much as possible. Whilst there the doc found a cyst and removed that, also the coil is out and very strange but i could have kissed the doctor. So overall no where near as bad as i expected and aprt from being a little achey i am not too bad at all..

    Thankyou for all the well wishes.:A

    As for flying i did lots yesterday before i went in. My HHC turned into a 2 hour clean lol. So for today i will be plodding along steady.
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?
