    Hi All, Hope everyone's week is going well. Can't believe that this is the first chance that I've had to catch up with the thread for days.
    Spent most of the day on garden tidying and clean-up..don't think that I'm properly warmed through despite a bath and huge cup of hot choccie. My manic cleaning did have a casualty though, managed to break a window in one of the sheds and have no idea how. I remember laying my hand on the pane of glass as I shut the door and then it just cracked. I can only assume that the cold had made it brittle. Have patched it up as best I can with a piece of wood, a bin bag and half a roll of parcel tape...so dad can sort it out on friday when he comes home.

    4. straighten the linen cupboard!
    5. Finish taking down deccies

    Sanity is the playground of the unimaginative!


  • Morning all,

    Beccah - glad you didn't cut your hand on the glass - well done you for doing the garden in this weather, def not something I would want to do as I HATE the cold (unlike OJ & Pigpen...) - did you wait for it to get this cold before you started??? :rotfl:

    Am annoyed with myself as I forgot to actually HANG UP the washing last night, just laid it next to the airer ready to do and thought I'd done it... :mad: so just the top of it has dried all creased up and the rest is still wet... That means I've got to wait longer for it to dry and iron it more now.... double :mad: :mad:

    I love my hubbies company, every time we are short and I'm panicing, they pay him! seriously, we were wondering how we could manage till he gets paid next thursday as there was nothing left and they have paid him £96 today in backpay for something that they have been underpaying since he started by about £1 a day... :j We can now survive until Feb when the serious B.U.D.G.E.T.T.I.N.G starts... we WILL be debt free and have savings this year!!!

    Which reminds me, Pigpen, did you find out where the extra £200ish came from when you went to check your balance? Did the bank mess up or have you also had a sudden windfall?

    Right, TD is on, DW emptied, washing now HUNG UP and I am gonna go back to bed till 7am when DS gets up... see you in a bit...

  • Started doing some paperwork... Now hubby has rung up, not going to work, got to M11 on the M25 and it has been closed - not sure how many junctions - he tried to get further up but got lost, got angry and is now on his way home... Oh Joy!!!! (can you hear the sarcasm... :) )

    - well done

    - I've just heard about the M25 closure on the radio and thought of your hubby! It' junctions 24 to 27 or something - quite a big stretch I guess.

    Hey ho, another day, another desk in another building! I've almost completed the first phase of what I'm doing. I won't be able to start the second phase until Monday as I'm waiting on other people so I'm considering taking tomorrow off....

    But, bath, sandwiches and on the road.

    Have a good day ladies
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Thankyou! :D
    So will the lists change each week or are they the same on the same days?

    The lists do change slightly - usually depends on what room pigpen fancies doing (or not:p) - sometimes there is different things on esp like jennybee if they mention they've got to do something.
