    .why does everything have to be my job ALL the time!!!!!! Anyone else ever feel like that?
    Me - sometimes ... but I am accepting of the fact that if I don't sort it it won't get done... on the plus side though what I say goes/my house my rules...there's a lot to be said for THAT! No committee here - just the one executive LOL and when I change the bed I get in it first - Mr. Valli ALWAYS went to bed first (he used to have to be at work for 6 am) so I never got the benefit/pleasure of clean sheets - double bonus tonight as duvet cover washed and window has been open all day and the room cleaned. (I use top and bottom sheets so don't have to wash duvet covers - which apparently I don't like ironing :rotfl:)

    I did it! The duvet went on UNIRONED - on the other hand though I have ironed everything else except the socks! But all airing now - so can be put away tonight thus contributing to the gleaming house - bedroom done TOOTS :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    :Tgo me

    Where will you see The Boss GnB?

    My jam recipe is for Rhubarb and Ginger Jam and is on the Preserver's Year thread (here post 163). [STRIKE]Will post a link shortly[/STRIKE]. Daresay you could leave the ginger out...I like it, it goes with my hair (which would be No 17 copper gold if I could find it in the shops LOL)

    Toots that outfit is stunning and perfect...you have good taste!

    you had better be careful casleigh or I will be round to sort you out! LOL you are doing really really well so dont make yourself anymore sore over it - just keep trying to do a little extra over the next few weeks and build up gradually - you will find what you have done this week and with what your cleaner does the house will soon begin to look better and it DOES get easier the more often you do it. hugs for the pain.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Deep breaths valli, you can do it, step away from the board.... and be content in the knowledge that your duvet cover is hung up with matching pegs (I bet) :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Yes, but this is someone who watches videos on Youtube to get hints and tips, to her, ironing is theraputic, like eating chocolate... you have to understand she is very sad but happy!!! ;):D

    But of course (all yellow) - and YOU LOT found the videos and TOLD ME TO WATCH 'EM!

    and how can anyone NOT find making things smooth and neat therapeutic:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Hi Hon, how you bearing up at the moment? You can put me as a personal reference if you like, I'd be more than happy to do that. :D

    ETA: Hugs Valli, hope they sort the payments soon for you - You're right though, they should reclaim and then send it to right people - it should have been returned anyway - what was the sort code it was sent to? can you not contact THAT bank (I know not down to you, but would that help?)

    That
    bank have phoned me...gist of it is D are passing the buck and blaming B & C. They have seven days...countdown has started AND I expect my charges/costs covered...trouble is anybody phoning here is getting a terse 'hello' when I answer the phone:o cos I am so cross...
    At least with TWO payments going missing I so KNOW who's at fault...

    Just had a quick catch up with the thread,

    Big hugs for you and yours pigpen:A

    And for AnW'smum.

    Hope everyone else is fine.
    Dinner is done just going to do the dishes once i've stopped running LO's bath. The water pressure here is pants and you cant really run 2 things at a time.

    Need to put the WM on and take the hoover for a walk.
