Gryfon

Back to say thanks for my dentist comments!

Also wanted to ask the ironers what sort of iron you have. I'm wondering whether getting a new iron which has more steam or whatever will make my ironing easier? I don't usually do ironing as it's just such a slog. I want to be able to put the iron over a t-shirt once and see the creases drop out, at the moment I iron and the creases just end up as flat creases :rotfl: So recommend me your iron!

I am fluttering today, dishwasher and washing machine on, worktop I cleared clean again, dishes washed and I'm trying to do ironing but getting fed up!

Afternoon All

Healing vibs to G&B's daughter and Lilysue's MIL and DH.

Have had a very lazy morning - seems to be a pattern for Saturdays but thanks to you wonderful lot I have moved and actually done some flying -

sorted out washing and put first load in (sun has now gone in Hummmm - how does it know that I was going to hang the washing out!)

Have written my extensive list in my new diary and will work through what I can - will be gentle on myself if I do not get all done - highly likely

Ds is supposed to be clearing his pit - sorry I mean room and DD is supposed to be doing the same in her midden - again I mean bedroom - but will be gentle on her as she has had the flu I had last week and it has turned inot a cold and no voice. peaceful here at the moment.

Have also taken 5 pictures for ebay listing as I have been saying that I will list these things for weeks - so off to do that now

back later

Just a flying visit to send massive hugs to GnB and Lily sue and to send healing vibes. I hope you're both ok xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Flying - we've been out in the garden and are going to plant the first few seeds for the allotment this afternoon.

Hugs to everyone xx

Valli

G&B thanks for the update ...she was on my mind all day - hope she is improving. So young and she already has so much to put up with..
LilySue hugs for you all - OH probably best keeping away - but it's hard...
Glad I left the TD off - I did 2 loads overnight (I lost the thread at 10.30 ish - everything else was fine but I could not get on to MSE) and I have pegged the lot out - both lines are full and it's drying beautifully. Both kid at their dad's today and DD is staying over. ex OH says he will watch DS play football - well about time - he hasn't been to a match for years!
exOH gave me £200 towards the skiing trip thatDS isn't going on - I am waiting to see if he asks for it back...
Got a pair of 'shoots' in Clarks sale - reduced from £64.99 to £18.99 (black leather) Crown Jewel and when I took them to the till they came up at £19.49 - so I pointed out the label and she charged £17.99:D
Then I had to go and buy opaque tights so that I can wear them with a skirt.
This afternoon I am planning to intersperse Flying with work stuff - and a priority job is hall/stairs/landing because the PC desk attracts no end of dust due to static.
Logging off and shutting down shortly - but I will be back later.

Pigpen - hope sis is now a mummy...and you a very proud auntie x

ETA Flower :eek: at the magician - incredible! Booking him for your club? Thanks for the link x

Gryfon - I have a 'normal' steam iron with a ceramic sole plate - I love it (but heck I like ironing) - and I like to have a heavy iron... it's a Tefal...it's my first ceramic but I prefer it...

froddington

gnb - hugs and prayers for LO

indigostar - thanks for the nice words about teachers

LilySue - hugs and prayers for MiL

boddy - glad you're a bit better

flower - no worries! I only did it cos it was still on my list!! Love the vid by the way!

I need to go and get dressed soon so I can go to the cinema That's my planned 'me' time and my couple of hours with mum, and will also mean me collecting the Avon - lots of flying there!!

vanilla

Lily sue big hugs.

WM on and TD, half way sorting through the boys room. Hubby away so i have a bit more peace to get flying (he keeps me back with tea and talking:rotfl: ).

Right i'm away again.

Gryfon

mof77...thanks!

Valli...looking at a Tefal one now, £85 though!!! Wondering if it'll make ironing less painless though and make me not mind spending 30 mins each week zooming through the school shirts and work shirts! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-Express-GV7150-Generator-Minutes/dp/B000UAFCSU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1232199999&sr=1-3 this is the one.

Trying to do my ironing, hate it though! Still getting flat creases :rotfl:
