    Evening all

    Carp day here but won't bore you all with the details other than to say it was a first I hadn't expect to sock me sideways :(

    Loads of pages to catch up on suffice to say I shall skip them for now. Hugs and well dones where appropriate.

    Got the day off from swimming lessons tomorrow as there is a swimming gala instead. Plenty of stuff to catch up in this pit of a house!

    Take care all xx

    Hi,

    Hope everyone is well & welcome newbies/returners. Since my last post I've done some more errands & am off to bed now. Goodnight!

    PS. Is there a list for Saturday?

    It depends on how pigpen is feeling. If she's being nice she lets us off... and we can catch up on things missed during the week or have a couple of days off. If she thinks we haven't worked hard enough she gives us another list!

    Evening all,

    read through and had a little catch up -

    Greenbee (I think), re the calculations - there is a website that calculates it for you:

    www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk

    Dusty re microwave - Freecycle is a great idea, especially if you explain why wanted. (My freecycle has been inundated by bods wanting ipods, Wiis and other consoles - the cheek!) Newer models seem to have these fiddly workings, but older ones seem more robust IMO.....

    LL - I know lots of hugs have been given, but just wanted to add mine - power of positive thought and all that....

    Gratefulforhelp - I have PM'd you - thank you for your offer!

    Philb - Yay! A fellow flypeep in the Shire...close enough to declutter my handbags!:rotfl:

    Valli - Seriously, ironing? What's that about! My one pet hate is ironing duvets. However, about twice a year ironing becomes a treat.....here's how it works:

    1. Wash and dry ALL clothes;
    2. Fold and put in ironing pile;
    3. Set up ironing board in front of TV;
    4. Put on Gone with the Wind;
    5. Put ironing pile to the left, bottle of wine to the right;
    6. Take sip of wine, iron item;
    7. Have break and wine;
    8. Have more wine, iron item;
    9. Drink wine. Repeat steps 6-9.
    10. Iron wine, drink iron, stop.:D

    Hope I got all names right - memory like a, erm, thingie....

    Night all, see you on the morrow.
    :A FLY FIRST, KNIT LATER :A
