Donner - how did the bike ride go? sounds lovely!

Cat - Im still on a high from getting the letter:D



I managed to order the new cooker yesterday and it is being delivered and installed tomorrow:D It is going to look really great in the kitchen as the old one was a bit of a blot on the landscape after having the new kitchen installed in october.....im very excited!!!

Plans for today -

- Crack on with the housework, didnt get any done yesterday, so need to play catch up this morning.

- try and fit in a foodshop, usually do it on a wednesday but am going to have to stay in all day tomorrow to wait for new cooker.

- stack of ironing to do, usually do HHI per day but havent managed to get any done for 2 days so will put on last nights Heroes and get up to date this afternoon:)

- Pop into B&Q and pick up more paint.....if I am going to be stuck in all day tomorrow, I might as well get some painting done:)


Other small jobs.....

- ring council for application for blue badge

- pop into town hall as need to take in up to date tenancy agreement

- go through paperwork, deal, file or ditch.


Cant think of anything else that needs doing today. Better crack on with lunchboxes now....

A motability car will make a huge difference to you JD. My mum had one for years for my disabled brother who died last year. No car tax to pay, no maintenance to pay,no new tyres, no insurance to pay - basically just petrol costs.:D
Make sure you get one big enough for you and all the kids - and if you need to pay a bigger deposit because of this there is always the motability charity which can sometimes help with these costs. They helped my brother as he had to have a wheelchair ramp installed in his.

Good luck xx

Happy new cooker when it comes

JAMIEDODGER

thanks for all your kind words re: dla:)


Didnt get as much done yesterday as I had planned, but nevermind! Bought the paint so will be getting my brushes out this morning and getting as much done as I can!

Looking forward to cooking dinner with my new cooker:)

Nice new cooker! I would sooo love one of those as would really try and keep it clean! My one is filthy!!! Beyond cleaning now!

Bike ride went very well. First 10 mins I hated it as couldn't even get up the hill and was really out of breath. But persevered and was loving it afterwards! Made me realise how unfit I am and how I have put on a fair few extra pounds. So am in a positive mood and mind set to shift it! Went out for a short run yesterday just to get my legs used to it again...I was in agony so must make sure I do another one on Thursday...start getting back into a routine!

Good luck with the painting! I still haven't done daughter's ceiling but plan to attack it very soon!

JAMIEDODGER

sounds like you had a good time donner! I must think about doing some exercise at some point:D

Painting went well....new cooker installed and working, cooked a lovely roast this evening! Must finish off the woodwork in the hallway tomorrow, what a difference gloss makes!!!

Hi JD/everyone !

Sorry I've not been on much lately, things been pretty hectic here - sowing seeds ....... and more seeds .... and more digging ... you get the picture lol

Great news about the dla JD ... must be a bit of a weight off your shoulders? Not nice that you had to appeal but I'm so pleased it went your way xx

Glad to hear the house is coming along too, you should be really proud - I'm useless at any DIY, I quite envy you being able to do it all yourself. How are the chooks?

We must get together for that coffee sometime soon. Could do with an excuse to take some time out !

Am off for a soak in the bath and a bit of 'me' time .......... take care everyone and catch up with you all soon ! xxxx

JAMIEDODGER

what have you been planting? I am really pleased with the house, its been a long time coming.... been here 5 years now, so about time I tackled it:)

yes we really should get together soon, keep saying it dont we!

JAMIEDODGER

Morning all:)

Another day of painting planned here in house of dodger. Had a rubbish nights sleep so will be downing tools later and going for a nap.

May make some cakes later in new oven and see how they come out!
