    Evening :o

    I have had no energy the last few days (again) so havent done any flying or even cooked proper teas. Have felt sluggish as still tired plus the atmosphere at work is not brill. Immediate line manager and the new one directly above her dont exactly see eye to eye and I've been stabbed in the back a few times by the new one as well so we are having to watch every word in the office we say. Like treading on eggshells.

    Anyway I have managed to print the list off each day and I think on Monday I managed to wipe the work surfaces in the kitchen and clear away tea things but I am now going to do some flying in the living rooms and hall (which arent too bad except the sofas where a mucky little dog has been).

    Apologies for not being able to read all thread but for anyone who needs a well done :T :T :T and anyone who needs a hug :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

    Will pop back later to report

    Hello Everyone

    I haven't been to the dentist for 18months as I could not afford the costs and have now probably been struck off! I think I shoudl get another one - but no NHS ones here so will need to start Denplan or something - does anyone else do this?

    I'm on Denplan, as there are no NHS dentists with spaces here. If you find a decent dentist, they quite often offer a plan, so you get a good rate. I get mine on my corporate plan. One thing I have noticed is that when I pay for the expensive cover, I don't have any problems... when I pay for the basic cover I have more :rolleyes: .

    TD emptied, laundry basket waiting to go upstairs. Turnip soup made, veg soup made, DW loaded. Soup cooling, so will decant it and bung it in the freezer tomorrow.

    Supposed I should go and make my bed and get ready for another day at work...

    Seeing as I didn't do my school stuff today, I guess I'll have to get it sorted at the weekend, or take another day off soon :o

    Valli - good luck tomorrow!

    Wednesday - Master bedroom
    Level One
    [strike]Strip and wash sheets[/strike] - done on sunday
    [strike]Vacuum and turn mattress before replacing clean sheets[/strike] - never done this before, is it something i should do regularly?
    Level Two
    [strike]15 minutes floordrobe clearance[/strike]
    [strike]Wash windows - we actually have mould growing on our window and[/strike] [strike]not the edges either - gross i know!!![/strike]

    Level Three
    [strike]Dust and deweb[/strike]
    Wipe paintwork
    [strike]Sort through a cupboard.. make it neat and tidy and get rid of what you no longer wear/need/use[/strike]

    I can look out of my bedroom window! i've hoovered and dusted and cleared almost everything away - what hasn't been cleared away hasn't got a home and is now neatly stacked in one corner until a proper home is found - and it's not much really. I've filled a bag and a half for the charity shop and hubby has just come in - we're having a cuppa and he's going up to sort his half of the wardrobe. living room,bathroom, kitchen and dining room all tidied - just need to get everyone stripped and showered so i can get wm on. WOOHOO:T

    Dinner done and cooked. S&S of my bedroom done. Spoken to him upstairs - have the details of the buildings insurance people but it turns out his brother (never knew he had a brother!) does things with damp so I have his mobile phone number and will call him tomorrow.

    But, I'm going to go to bed. I peaked about 9pm when I served up dinner (fish and chips - home made - for the curious!) and have been fast nodding off ever since!

    Hoping you all have a peaceful and sleepful night

    Well done gtx!

    Hope it gets sorted out soon soappie

    Good thing I decided to check my gym bag tonight... I've run out of leggings, so have had to put another load of washing on and will try to get one pair dry for tomorrow morning!

    I'm still trying to decide what to do about getting a new bed. I hate my bed frame, and have put it off for years, but I'm pretty sure I now need a new mattress... however, I think I need to wait until the utility room is done and then check that I've got enough cash. Then again... there may not be sales then (the debate isn't helped by the fact that I want an ethical, fair trade, organic bed/mattress combination, which limits choice and means that I HAVE to get a decent mattress!)

    Its so quiet here, is it cause there is no chat?, cause there's not a lot on facebook either, are we split between facebook and yahoo?, cant get on with yahoo.

    Hi everyone

    We got back from party tea just after 9pm :eek: Miss A has had a fantastic day, thanks for all your birthday posts. I will show them to her another time. They are both in bed absolutely kernackered now! But she did say to say thanks for those I had seen from this morning.

    I have literally just skim read the thread just now and am off to chill in front of the goggle box before bed. Work in the morning for me so won't be posting again before tomorrow night.

    I did manage to get 8 cooking mats at Morrisons today, so will be posting these off at the weekend (possibly Friday). Will PM those who have already requested one tomorrow, too tired now to do that. Anyone else wanting one PM me ;) I can always look for more next week if I run out just now, FYI they are £2 each.

    lil_me there is a parcel in the post to you tonight ;)

    Hugs all round, night all xx
