    Huge kitchen window cleaned, owwww my arms hurt.

    Bathroom steam cleaned, the wiped down with wipes and microfibre cloth.

    Note to self, try not to place face directly in steam surge when steaming the toilet rim :o :doh: _pale_

    Right off out to find a kitchen bin and chicken food. Back later.


    Would really like to turn mattress on our bed and hoover it today.

    All my washing is dry, folded and put away. I love being able to put it straight away.

    Took the dog out for a little walk but she was very slow and wobbly. I sat in the garden for a while after sorting the washing, it's such a lovely day, but the dog couldn't settle or get comfortable, and the cat curled up on my cardigan, so I gave up and came in. She (the dog) is on the settee now, hopefully she'll have a sleep.

    gratefulforhelp, thinking of you all, awww poor little one. Maybe suggest taking them for the local dog shelter? Or you could offer them on Freecycle which is where I offered my Sonic's old food when we lost him.
    mummyof5 congratulations to you and your DD
    emily ((hugs))
    Triker pleased to hear you and your OH are better
    mumoffour happy birthday

    Sorry yes I'm a bit cynical too when it comes to Comic Relief, Children in Need too. I support many local hugely unsupported charities who do fantastic work but have to fight for every penny. They have applied for fundig from these larger charities but usually met with refusal, a tiny token gesture or even just being ignored in some cases. I hate the way Comic Relief is done personally. No I didn't watch it last night, I watched a little of the Apprentice show but that was all. My children had to go in fancy dress style and take donations but sorry, I'd prefer, as I did, to donate to where I can see it being used! Just my terrible personal opinion.

    **RANT ALERT**
    Really annoyed with myself as I have lost my 'cash purse'. I'm usually very careful, I keep a lot in there in the safe but just put what I need into a smaller one. Thursday evening I was in a hurry so just grabbed it, I thought I'd fastened it back in my pocket but when I've gone to get it this morning it is not there (have used other coats since) so very cross with myself. Luckily all my cash/credit cards are seperate, I've cancelled Boots/Nectar cards, just my driving licence 'grrr' to replace I think. Of course not much point crying over spilt milk but the several hundred pounds I've lost will annoy me forever. I've called every shop around the area, police said call again Monday, I think I just need to admit it's gone, very few would do as I would and hand it over! At least I've been making savings on grocery etc this month, unfortunately I just won't get to see it/use it now.
    **RANT OVER**

    Today well spendings been restricted anyway, so got what I needed from shop and nothing more (will add the £7.43 to my total in a mo) wasted nothing so far

    I should be doing my bedroom and some studying but I feel ever so tired, well suppose I'll go make a start on it as I can't doze off with DP being at work. Toodles xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
