Tuesday - Living room, hall and stairs! DONE:D
Woohoo can't believe i have the list done before midday.:j :j :j
Suppose it's because hubby's out helping round the farm so i've peace to get on.
Will get something to eat and see what else needs doing or i might head to bed for an hour, hubby not sleeping well and was up till 3 this morning, problem is he keeps me up too.
Right food i think.
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

- 2 questions.
And I cooked salmon for dinner. I had the fan on, the back door & window open & a bowl of vinegar by the hob. It still smells down here. How can I get rid of the smell. I HATE airfreshners, they make me sneeze. So I have none. I can smell it now so in the morning it'll hit me something terrible! So left bowl of vinegar in living room & vinegar bottle open in kitchen. I also lit af ew matches last night. Did the trick. Only a very faint smell this morning & it's gone now!
SO have done all tasks apart from ironing. WM has finished so need to hang up the clothes. ALso have some bread soaking to make bread pudding, YUM!
Will iron & do nowt else today!

Pigpen (thank you) told me that this is the room we're doing tomorrow in case you're wondering where my psychic abilities have come from.
As you can see, I'm still at home and flying away as the agency haven't called me for anything for this afternoon. If anything gets added to her list tonight, I'll try to do it when I get home from dinner at MIL's. Won't be able to get a completed list though until the weekend as the sheets don't get changed til then.
If you want something to distract you LadyL, we could go for a coffee in town if you'd like now I know that I'm not working? Will probably need the caffeine to keep me going anyway after all of my flying today.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -
Thanks, toots. I'm back safely. Centre of town pavements fine (wish ours were) Only in the dentist chair about five minutes - wax impression and check colour. He intends to give me a plate, but the lab tech doesn't think he can design one that will work.toottifrootti wrote: »aunty crafty you be careful when you go to the dentist - whats happening today - are you getting a crown? I will be with you! And I quite agree with you that theskintfamily's idea of missing CSI is a tad drastic!!!! :rotfl:
Meantime I am still trying to hang on to the two very loose teeth.
G&B - 'hope the hospital goes ahead' vibes for LO
carlsberggal - gentle hugs
Lady-L - hugs. Waiting can be the worst bit.

Afternoon all
No washing today even though the sun is shining. We had a real blizzard last night. It's all very odd.
I did the living room and hallway yesterday as well as the kitchen and I vacuumed right through downstairs again today so that's Day 2 completed.
Asda shopping has been delivered and all put away.
Off to catch up.0 -
