    pigpen despite you saying the house is in a state you sound 'in control' - I am pleased that you are getting your new cooker on wednesday - what did you go for in the end - and a tesco delivery - at least things are a little more normal for you - I will cross everything that the insurance cheque arrives tomorrow.
    tootsxx

    We get it this wednesday IF I can rumble up the cash and next wednesday if I can't! .. Belling Sandringham.. not quite sure whether to get the 110cm wide one as oppose to the 100cm wide one.. but that will determine the size of the unit next to it so I'm having a pondering moment.

    Tesco delivery.. only basics mind.. tins, cereal, juice, cat food etc.. but it will take a wee bit of time to restock the cupboards with stuff I NEED rather than junk we don't use. I have enough flour to build a mound of loaves to feed half of Afirca so I am NOT buying any until I have run out.. probably about April! So I'll be saving a bit of pence there for a few weeks.

    Hubby making a cuppa so I am going to shower.. we just watched Wallace and Grommit so I didn't go.. then I'll feed the brood...

    OK, tired now!

    We've thoroughly vacuumed and cleaned the front bedroom, moved our bed in there (which meant emptying the drawers underneath, vacuuming everything, moving the mattress, base and headboard then refilling the drawers). Also emptied chest of drawers, moved it and refilled it. Moved bedside cabinets. Moved everything front back bedroom wardrobe to front bedroom.

    Then thoroughly vacuumed back bedroom. Emptied small bookcase, moved it to a different wall and refilled it.

    I stripped my bed and that's out on the line and the bed is remade. Got in this morning's washing and that's airing off. I'll see what's ready to put away in about half an hour.

    Before all that I cooked a roast dinner and cleared everything away.

    My back is in two now.

    Off to catch up with the thread while I drink this nice cup of tea :)

    I have brought in my washing (two loads) and ironed it all. Now I am going to watch Wallace and Gromit on the i player (forgot about that - only used it once before!)

    Gosh Polly you've done loads! enjoy your cuppa you deserve it.

    Love that cooker pigpen I'd love one like that.

    Just emptied the car of shopping bags again but for a change they weren't mine - littleys been to the Sales with nana and aunty and come back with half of NEXT :eek: got to take it all upstairs now and find it a home :rolleyes:

    TD has just finished so I'm gonna bung another load in before I go for DD1....I'm off to take the bags upstairs now....then come back and sort tea, oh and teenie emptied the DW for me whilst I was out so I've re-filled it agin and run some hot soapy water into the sink to give everything a good wipe.

    ETA: I watched The Royle Family on iplayer (first time I've used it) the other day, had to switch it off on xmas day cause I had grumpy Jim Royle in one ear and grumpy OH in the other, !!!!!!! he was a miserable git :D
