Kazw don't know what to say honey, never easy is it, thinking of you all x
AnWsMum think of positives, at least it's cleaned the washer, could have ended up on your best whites or something

Summermoon, not too much is my main advice, what is he in to? Have you had a look at the Boots 3 for 2 toys? They inc some elc stuff, loads of character stuff etc

Lunch eaten, curry out for tea, DP wants it with chips....typical

Need to get packing stuff, need to find a box for DPs thing that needs to go back.....

Sorry to hear that kaz *hugs*

Summermoon - how about some sort of train stuff?

Think a few people need some of these at the moment - Hugs to Kaz at this sad time and all the rest that need them and lemsips and benylin to those not feeling well - I have a sore throat, cough and sneezing at the moment, so don't think it will be long before I'm laid up either... fingers crossed I can work through it...

Not done much since I was going to do the HHF, coz my new phone arrived - I'm soooo excited as it's the blackberry storm - wasn't going to join the bandwaggon, but I really need my emails when I'm out, and I thought if it's a free upgrade, why not? it's quite smart, have been playing a bit with it when DS lets me, but will leave it to him to sort out I think now, coz I'm getting bored (I need things to work instantly, and theres too much to sort out so will let him set it all up first... method in my madness...)

Anyway, off to finish his room, so will see you later...

Still lovely and sunny out but the frost hasn't melted in the shade at all so I'm going to leave the washing inside.

Forgot to put earlier, I cleaned the cats' tray right out and washed it. Just about enough litter for this week, I've got some more on order for next Tuesday. My oldest cat has got in the habit of using it every night now (well, very early each morning to be precise). She obviously doesn't like going out in the cold much any more! Can't say I blame her. She's very regular. 6.10 am she starts scraping at the tray. She stands outside the tray and scrapes ineffectually at the outside edge, doesn't cover anything up at all and it's a really annoying noise. After about 20 minutes I get up and sling her outside! Cats.

Emptied kitchen bin and squished it into the wheelie bin (gets emptied tomorrow).

Hello All :hello:

Firstly... so sorry to hear that sad news Kaz if you live near(ish) my suggestion would be to take a meal round for them, a big pot of soup maybe? (((hugs)))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to all the newbies..... follow the lists, and don't try to do too much. It'll all come round again next week, so if you miss something this week, you'll get to it next. Plus it gets much easier as the weeks go by... stick with it, you see. :wave:

Thanks for the list Piggers. I'm in this week, and I may actually do some cleaning too??!!! :rotfl:

Just back from Lidl, weekly shop done, and some bits in for Christmas too.... llluuuurrrrvvvveeeeee their Christmas Pudding. YUM!!!

Caught up on this week's thread, but not the end of last weeks... so apologies if I've missed something relevant.

I spent (what felt like) all bloomin day on amazon sorting out pressies, and then finding that half of what I'd selected was from different suppliers. Each charging a different delivery fee.... :mad: I don't remember that from before... but maybe everything has come directly from Amazon before

My local radio station played nothing but Christmas songs on the breakfast show this morning!!!! From 6.30-7.30 I wanted to kill them all, but by 8.00 they'd bludgeoned me into submission!!! The children and I were dancing round the kitchen to 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' at full volume!!!

Right.... still got to actually unpack the shopping, and pull out the advent calendars from wherever they're lurking!!! Bad Mummy.... forgot!!

See you all later :wave:
