    Has anyone seen Casleigh lately? Hope she's ok.

    Upstairs has just got home. Don't know what he's doing up there, sounds like he's bouncing a tennis ball on the floor.
    DH will be home soon. Hopefully he'll be able to hoover in the next few days. He's walked mud everywhere and I dropped the plate of egg shells he'd left on the table, so now that's everywhere too. He said last night that he's going to give the carpet a proper wash in the summer - yay!

    Try this Nicky - berry crumble recipe on the right at the top. Had better get off the computer and go and feed my m&d's cat. Am going to take a couple of pairs of trousers with me that need mending too as I can use my Mum's sewing stuff then.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I am on full blown black dog and can't shake it off. No one else cares about the mess in this house so why should I? Someone boot me or I will just sit here feeling sorry for myself. I hate it when I feel like this but I just cant shake it off this week.

    I have some unanswered PMs, not ignoring, just not had chance.

    Toots - huge hugs for you. I really should get a sense of perspective.

    The blind man has fitted the back bedroom blind so finally that's all complete. All upstairs is done, downstairs will have to wait a couple of years while I try to save some more money.

    Dog food has been delivered and stored away. It's dear to buy a big bag but it lasts for ages.

    hex2 awh hugs honey - thats so not like you-are feeling ok or are you maybe coming down with something? Its so not fair when the rest of the household dont bother or notice - I know you are not the only flyperson with this problem = why dont you go on strike a bit and tell them that they will all have to help with a list - no arguments or no ? (easter treat/day out /tv/ xbox or whatever is close to their heart!) Put a copy up on the fridge and put someone's name beside each job and it has to be all done before anyone gets their treat. Sorry but I cant think who posted about this already today and it seems to work for them -spend some time in the garden - you love that - to hell with the house!
    MOF77 I see you have been again understating the amount of work you have done today!!!! Is the party tonight - hope it goes well and you all have a great time!
    have had yet another chat with lady next door - I think she is lonely-she was made redundant last year and hasnt been able to get another job - probably misses the contact. - she has made a lovely job of her daughters garden.

    2nd washing on the line blowing away nicely
    must crack on and get some more of the list done.

    it depends on whether or not pigpen is out at college - if she is then she sometimes manages to post before she goes - if she is at home we dont get the next day's list until much later in the evening which gives those that are working a chance to catch up first.
