    Morning all

    Two loads of washing on the line, one of clothes and the other of throws from the living room (again).

    Roast dinner roasting, we're having the last bit of turkey from Christmas that I put in the freezer.

    Dusted the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Made a victoria sandwich and some little fruit cakes.

    Thank you sexy for putting that card in for lady liberty, and good to hear she is doing OK.

    Haven't caught up yet but hope everyone is OK.


    Happy Birthday Vanilla :):bdaycake:
  • soappie not me - yes I am in the bedroom but just with Sean Connery!!!!
    toots xx

    Ooooh Toots, can you send him over here when you're finished... pleeeeeeese...;)
    I love Sean, I think it's a cross between the accent, the eyes and the smile...

    Pigpen, like Greenbee says, if you let us know what you need, we can look for you... you can never have too much baby stuff and it's hard when you're just starting out...

    Don't know Greenbee, I think Toots job application wording was brilliant - just alter a bit to suit you...:rotfl: (LOVED the Michael Jackson one too... :D , I fell about...)

    Soappie, one of my very good friends is a Feng Shui expert and often sends protective shields - she showed me how to do one on myself (which I've completely forgotten how to do) to protect myself when visiting people who bring me down or when I know I'm going into a situation that is not good... they do work, I've been out of some toxic places before really depressed, but after putting the shield up, I was fine - it's a form of energy, and everything around us is based on energy and molecules, and there is even scientific proof behind some of it, but I also think its very psychological, if you believe you are protected, it can't be a bad thing can it IMHO... :confused:

    Whooppee:j I've done better than I expected this morning.

    I've only pottered around but seem to have achieved quite a bit. Strange when it happens like that. Then other days I seem to work my socks off all day and get nowhere fast.:confused:

    Not such a good week this week - readers of the daily will know I've had a nightmare week at work with silly hours - by the evenings I've been ready to drop! Will try to get through a few bits today though and have already done some as routine thankfully. Must try harder next week! About to send Mr EH off to do hoovering now! ;)

    vanilla - bestwishes.gifHope you have a good day even though you don't feel like it!

    gnb - well done to LO, sounds like you've done a great job :D ; there's no need for whiny children tsk.gif

    I have brought the box of books downstairs to sort out, but am now thinking it was not a good idea to carry it :rolleyes: Arm is objecting :o

    Am going to post a parcel now and pop to the corner shop.

    Will be back for an HHC or 2 later ...................
