  • Morning All :hello:

    Flower I hope you're ok. Last time the old fella and I did an all nighter it nearly killed both of us!

    I didn't sleep well last night either MOZzy, I was having rather bizarre dreams about an old school friend being in the army. ( furthest thing away from what she's doing now ) :confused:

    Well, I've got the comet engineer coming today to agree that the new washing machine is broken :mad: :mad: It's 2 weeks old, but it's died a sad death. Bah!!!!

    I want to make veggie chilli as I've got a load of peppers about to turn. I want to make humous too, I get mad with myself if I buy it when it's so bloomin cheap to make.

    Right my peace has been shattered. So I'm off for now. :wave:

    Try diluted white vinegar and a microfibre cloth if you have them;)

    Morning all.

    OH has gone to work (he's going to ask if he is getting paid for it when he gets there!) so I think a bit of flying is in order - don't want him to think I have sat on my a***e all morning. Loads to catch up on.

    WM is already on so off to attach the kitchen and see what I have in the freezer, need to use up loads of bitty things, half bags and such like.

    Healing vibes to poorlies everywhere.
  • Well I am MEGA behind with the list (my first week an' all :o )

    I did manage to do the bathroom - so I can get away with a swish 'n' swipe today, and the kitchen (but I need to wash up last night's dishes :o ) so bedrooms, hoovering, windows and dusting are on the agenda today.

    I've done 5 loads of ironing this week - so why is my washing basket full :confused: It grows and multiplies I'm sure :rolleyes:
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)
  • OUCH Ouch ouch...:eek:

    I fell down the stairs last night, and used my toe as a brake. Its fat and blue and ouch... I expect flying today will be a gentle fluttering:rolleyes:

    Ive not caught up so big ((hugs)) to everyone, hope youre all ok
