    quick flash in to say hi while I test DS's memory stick which has been through a wash because he left it in his trouser pocket (and in my defence it is black...)
    Says it's not formatted.
    I have hung it back on the maiden for a bit longer...

    Hugs all - stay warm! I'm off hiking later - Matlock!
    Presumably if it remains unformatted [STRIKE]I [/STRIKE] he can reformat it but his files will be lost. Lets hope he followed my advice and has a back up on the PC!

    Morning all

    Just poppping in to try to find some order to my day,

    Breakfast first I think and then put some washing on, do my dalies and then do a bit on my list.

    Friend just rang to have DS2&3 for a bit this afternoon so that will be good - decisions though - do I get on at home, take DS1 to try to get some ski stuff or visit Nan?

    just had a thick leaflet from DECATHLON - they have some reductions - not fantastic though.
    DS isn't going now (good) he lost his deposit though -he paid it (£75)

    I'm not even going to attempt to catch up on the thread, although I will try and skim through it later. :rolleyes:

    I've just about kept up with my dailies this week, having gone back to work. Unfortunately, it's no better, but I keep reminding myself that at least I have a job! I've applied for 3 more this week. Something will turn up.

    Anyway, this morning I have so far:
    Loaded the tumble dryer
    Re-loaded the washing machine
    Prep'd the coffee pot
    Fed dogs and cats
    Washed the kitchen floor
    Started cleaning the fish tank.

    I still need to vacuum and dust throughout, wash bathroom and shower room floors and clean both rooms.

    DS has made dinner three times this week and DD did a pile of ironing on Thursday evening, as I'm also back at college. However, I've made the decision to give up my Welsh lessons until the next academic year. That will give me another evening for flying, homework or my case studies.

    Back later!

    Hello, PF, we were wondering where you were last week, sounds like you've been busy!! I was wondering how you were getting on with the welsh, a shame you've postponed them but it seems to be the right decision for the moment, I hope you do go back to it though!!
    Short HH for me, then, got dressed, washed, put away all the socks and underwear etc, emptied the upstairs bins and done a little bit more in the kitchen!!!

    walk into town and post parcel

    Thanks Vali, I'll have a look in my next tea break - we have the galleria outlet a few miles from use which has lots of mountain/ski/TKMaxx shops - there is where I filled the gaps in the other 2's kit. They are easier, less fussy, I brought the stuff, they tried it on, job done (well I have one jacket to return as I brough 2 as I was unsure which would fit best - shame it is the smaller one but the other is too loose and he'd get snow up the back of it).

    Hi Pink, glad you survived the week hun and I hope you have a nice weekend, is hubbie home this weekend?

    Promised the kids little pancakes so best do that next.

    DH has had to go into work today, and also tomorrow, so doesn't even feel like the weekend. Can't go round to my mum's either - they've all got colds, don't want the kids to get it again. Oh well, another day then!

    XxX

    Have a good day everyone, will catch you later - might snooze.
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:
