greenbee - no testing the baking mixtures - thats where the inches come from!!! LOL have fun!
MOAM hope your bug goes soon - glad you had a good time at Crufts - fantastic news about your job and the posh nosh!
Kazm huge hugs for you both - its so unfair to keep someone hanging on like that they should just get the incident dealt with and move on - its so demoralising -I hope his union are backing him up - I am sure he didnt mean to hurt you - he probably is feeling very frustrated by the whole thing.
AnW's Mum hope the pj day was fun! it is very difficult to keep supporting all these things - My brother says the same with his 3 children - endless sponsorship!
Tired_mummy well done on your first week - as well as your first star you have done loads of the things from the other days lists as well - brilliant. I find it is so much easier to have a list to follow.

have decluttered some stuff to charity bag
have got a brand new foot spa from freecycle and the owner is going to deliver it -looking forward to pampering my feet! was told to take extra care of them being diabetic so this is a start! Only problem will be finding somewhere to keep it!!!! Back to the hall cupboard I think!!!!
And have done some knitting

Morning all, hope everyone's well.

Have had a busy day today, have tidied everything away in the lounge, vacuumed and dusted everywhere too, cleaned and tidied the hall and stairs and cleaned the kitchen - floor needs mopping but I have vacuumed and I cleaned my cooker and the door because hubby spilt something down it and it went between both pieces of glass and of course, they have no idea how to get to that part! (even though you just KNOW the cooker was designed by a man because of all the fiddly bits that you have to remove to clean it - no nice easy wipeable surfaces on any cooker I know!!! :mad: )
Sorry, bit of a rant there, but I have also washed 3 loads of washing, 2 are hanging on the line (first time I've used it this year! :j ) and the other is just finishing now, but I will tumble that as it is socks/pants/towels which won't take long to do and I like how the towels come out when they've been tumbledried.

So all in all a very productive day .

See you in a bit.

Well done on the foot spa Toots, mmmmm, I love those because I hate having my feet touched as I'm really tigglish and that is like having a foot massage without the touching IYKWIM... Enjoy it!

And I just wanted to repeat what you had said above too, haven't had a chance to catch up but it looks like some of you are in need of some hugging so...


Hope this cheers you up and that you

(sorry if page was really wide, I've shortened it now... )

Morning all
Been to the gym and am well and truly worked out!!!
First time i have been for ages and got a new programme new starts all round. I did enjoy it though.
Got back DH took DS to the shop for a walk to pick up a paper so i put all toys back in the box hoovered round, S&S in kitchen will do bathroom when i go in bath later.
Thought i would catch up with thread Pigpen did you have a good day.

She also looks after rescue cats for cat protection and has a purpose built Kennels and cattery at the top of the garden.

Tired_Mummy

Thanks Toots. I find these lists fantastic too - my house was such a mess before that I really didn't know where to start, so I didn't start anywhere as it was so overwhelming .
Also managed 1 WM load today plus planted some seeds for the allotment, was hoping to get out in the garden as well today to plant some plants that arrived yesterday but it has just started chucking it down :mad:

Wow! Wouldn't want to be at hers on Cleaning Out Pets flyday!! I only have Jaikie (adorable long haired fluffball of a bossy cat) and he's bad enough!

Been S&S as I go along yesterday and today-it's lovely! Have been able to easily make the fairy cakes (ok, giant ones - muffins really!) as had clear access to cupboards and work surfaces, started on 1950's dress I am doing for my dressmaking course....all puttery treats, really, not exactly flying! But, I'm worth it!

I have been lax, however. It is my brothers birthday next Friday, and I was hoping to knit him up a geek chic hat I designed in 2ply. However, haven't started so must get busy on the needles - or just save myself the stress and go shopping? Just realised must be finished by Wednesday,to post it to him.....:eek:

On the career change front, am feeling really positive, thanks to all your help. I have registered with GTTR, and am in the process of filling in the application. I have decided to go with Citizenship - the more I read, themore interesting it seems. The subject matter will constantly change, and it will be wonderful to contribute to society - perhaps more people will vote in years to come! (for politicians, not X factor!):rotfl: If I don't get in to my choices, then I am now prepared to go to clearing, and move if necessary. EBT will only be for a year or two.

Toots,many thanks for the hearts - I am pleased with my first week of flying, and I know it will get easier the more I do......

Hope you are all well - remember to take time out for yourselves! Have a "HHFS" (half hour for self!) - you've earned it!

lil_me

Jayjay hope your DS is ok. Big hugs for OH and you, this must be such a worrying time for you both x
Mum on a mission, oh no, not the nicest thing to bring back, hope it clears up soon
kazw ((hugs)) for you both (especially for DP flying!) no further forward then, hope it's sorted soon
Quillion she should open a zoo!!
Mudbath now I'm the jealous one!

Strangely DPs took the boys out, on his own, yes both of them, to the racing that's on so they can have a go. It's all too weird with him doing a little more decorating and emptying the DW this week definately something not right!

Which leaves me to tackle laundry catch up and hopefully housework catch up a bit depending how long it lasts (touching wood!!)

Parent in crisis, so frustrating!!! DSs old school, have decided to pick on my friends nephew, this week they have excluded him for something they have now found out he didn't do but said now they started the process they can't go back on it, !!!!!!!!! To say I am angry is an understatement!!! Fired off some emails, going to see what support I can drum up on Monday (more frustrating they mention it on a weekend!)

I've got those yummy duck eggs so tempted to have a little breakfast, poached eggs on toast Need to keep an eye open for neighbour returning from caravan, doesn't bother me his 18 year old having friends round as there was no noise but her mates blocking our drive with their cars has wound me up!

Right, off to feed the WM, actually HHC 12.45 -1.15 will include 1 WM load, 1 TD load in, DW filled, kitchen benches cleared and brekkie made. Anyone joining me?

Afternoon one and all.

It is really windy here - need to see if the washing on the line is dry and fetch in accordingly.

Footie done
Morrisons mini shop done
lunch done

Just going to rinse the gammon and put the next wash on then go over to Nans.

Kaz hugs my love men just deal with things totally differently from us don't they.

Toots enjoy the footspa. Back of the cupboard does not sound like a good place to store it if it becomes a to do to get it out again.

MOAM well done on the win and hope you are better soon

Soappie how those bones of your doing now?

lil_me

Mudbath I'm jealous now!!! We're not away until April have you booked anywhere nice?

Woooohooooo list complete, nomnom brekkie/lunch time, got a cuppa too. 1 or 2 washer loads and I should be done on catch up, however I need to get it dry and it's fupping snowing! ARGH! So TD is on.

When sorting paperwork abandoned in the kitchen I found a letter from BG that says they take over supply from the 4th not the 12th, so will have to phone tomorrow to check. We've used about 10000kwh in a year, wonder if that's sort of normal? I was thinking being away a lot makes a massive difference but in part I doubt it did, they were times of year we wouldn't have used heating (colder weekends DP was here with it on) and washing etc was still done at home. We have showers instead of baths. So gas usage won't have been too highly effected. Electric will probably be sky high as usual, I should check now as I have info from Feb 08 handy which was 85008 mid Feb.....

Speaking of BG I need to get in touch with DPs Nana today, BG been round to service and told her not to use her system without a carbon monoxide detector and a hole in her wall (rules changed since it was done last year?) they gave her a price expecting her to have it done with them but not a hope. I have a fire angel carbon monoxide detector spare and DPs brother will do the hole in the wall. Not a hope we're paying over the odds for their stuff.

Right, brekkies nearly all gone, another HHC from 1.30-2pm I will do

Fill recycling bags/bin with rubbish
Wipe over kitchen benches and door fronts
Put clean/dry laundry in my room to be sorted
Collect abandoned paperwork from rest of house - must find my tax disc
Clear under sofas
Put boys lego in the box
Electric meter reading
Tidy games basket/what has been left on the floor

First chance I've had to get back on the PC - I've had a bath - DH has been playing on the PC and then DS - they've gone to Mr A's now and I'm going to do the veg for dinner.
