    Stiffening up nicely now, waiting for tomorrow when I wake up and feel the arrrggghhh!

    The car was hit from the back this time so a new front and back now hopefully

    I hope the insurance sorts things out quickly for you.

    Have you tried a soak in a hot bath for the aches? (She says, realising that that's rather a pathetic statement! But it may help...)

    Dinner just started Toots ;) . Will be ready in time for WDYTYA

    I do the lemon in water to clean the micro - let it really steam up and keep it closed
    then forget all about it :rotfl:

    Please excuse the daft question - do you need to use an actual lemon, or will lemon juice from a squeezee bottle work as well?

    Ooooh and Dusty - don't forget - WDYTYA at 9pm

    Thanks Chuck - ironing board out and waiting, just realised I have missed a dispatches on packaging and It's not easy being green - didn't know that was back on and was last in the series. Can't do catch up as I've put the NTL card somewhere safe and can't remember where much to the kids annoyance.

    Flylady - teenagers who'd 've 'em. Hugs for you

    TM - the techies are amazing and I'd love to know what they know. I used to work on a helpdesk for ATMs and it was a great feeling helping somebody to fix a problem.

    Emily - Hi hun

    Don't think I'm getting anywhere with the virus, the more scans I do the more stuff appears:eek:

    Nearly forgot OH is due back soon.

    Is it really sad that I feel like I achieved something by putting on the washing machine and dishwasher today?

    Took the little beastie to get weighed this morning and health visitor agrees that he's got a bit of colic which means he's pretty grumpy at the moment. I, of course, am blaming myself... :( which is ridiculous.

    Food eaten. Luckily one of the three allen keys I found in the garage is the right size for the bed. It would have been a bit of a problem otherwise!

    I'll probably clean the floor once the bed is dismantled, but the rest of the bedroom can wait until tomorrow, as I need a bath (although I have to keep my hair dry as I'm trying not to wash it until Wednesday morning seeing as it's only just been coloured!) and an early night :p

    Last load of washing out of TD as it wasn't quite try. I now have a vast pile of ironing (Valli.. do you want to come and visit :D ). I'm glad I was home today though, as I got most of it dried on the line and it was raining as I went out to the garage earlier.

    Winding down from 9pm isn't going to happen tonight. I need to get stuff done. Including sorting out DD's tracksuit bottoms and top for tomorrow as apparently she needs them for PE :rolleyes: So I'm going to make it 10pm instead. Ah well :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
