    Morning all

    AnW'sMUM and the SWs - big hugs winging your way - hope you're all OK. I was thinking of you yesterday when I looked at the garden when I got home from work to find the daffodils have opened up.

    I'm going to do my bedroom today and polish off this darned proposal so I can get it out ready for a Monday evening meeting

    If any of you flypeople are lost for inspiration because Piggers didn't put up a weekend list, you could always tackle the bathroom. We've not done that properly this week!

    morning :hello:

    dang, but pc is broken again :mad: - oh says it needs a new harddrive :confused: but luckily there is not much lost since i've only formatted this one 2 weeks ago :rolleyes:

    just skimmed the thread and as usual i can't remember alot :o

    Dusty i never look at the instructions when i heat something up - just trial and error :D - i just put it in for eg. 2 minutes and if it's too cold a bit more - and next time i'll know better! - so i don't think it really matters which model you'll get - but do try freecycle!

    Morning Everybody

    Thanks for all your great advise about microwaves and homework.

    I've got a MS to do this morning so need to have a quick read of the briefing notes. Whilst I'm in town I'll get a couple of ready meals for Nan and pop into JL to get a starting price for microwaves. I don't mind buying one and really need to get it today if possible. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge freecycle fan but for peace of mind with a 90 year lady I think I'd rather it was new.

    Out for lunch for DS1 birthday so no need to do much cooking today, just need to the ice the cake.

  • Hi all, I am off for a day out with hubby and kids to visit some friends for the day. I have finished list and am feeling really proud of myself. House looks good but still got lots of sorting out to do (loft full ). Hopefully next week it will take me less time to do list and i will have more time to sort. Tomorow i will tackle ironing thats left but thats about it. Hope you all have a great weekend

    Morning all

    Had a better nights sleep than I expected. I ended up escaping work early yesterday and went to my mates, was sick of the plastic smile and the 'yes thanks I'm fine' answer :rolleyes: that I was giving customers. Anyway today is a new day and we have the delights of SIL :eek: she has decided she wants to get a pic of the GKs for PIL golden anniversary. So Miss A and W will have their annual bath this morning so they look neat and tidy :rotfl::rotfl: Because they will be in smart clothes we won't be able to call at MIL's, what a shame! (Plus I really am not in the mood for a visit there ATM)

    Awww thanks soappie :) we are fine thanks. The daffs in the garden are almost open, DH's are a little way behind, we will go and see him later and let you know ;) In fact can the gardeners help me please. Miss A (and I) loves Gerberas, are these easy to grow and what conditions do they need? Please bear in mind that DH and I could kill a rock garden so we are not the most green fingered of peeps!!!!
