Picked up washer.....currently in the back of my little clio waiting for BF to come over and help me in with it!!!

Soup was ok in slow cooker!! Am going to move onto stew next and get a bit more adventurous! have divided into portions to go into freezer and am thinking of something to make with chicken, bacon and mushrooms that can go in the slow cooker, ive read that you can only put in milk/cream for the last 30 mins......Think i will do it on the hob!

Anyway, enough about food.....I have finally wiped the dining table, and window sill, and units and appliances......am going to get some food on the go and then whizz round with the hoover.......

Soappie - she's already on two meals a day....we've been told to give her lunch too! The problem is if she has too big a meal she gets 'loose' and we can't get the amount she needs into two meals so three it is. She's on a good diet too ... oh well lets hope she puts weight on and it's not her thyroid. Hugs to all. I'm going to clean the pet food cupboard now xx

I won't even attempt to go back and read any posts as there are 16 more pages since I last logged on the day before yesterday! *faints*

Anyway, it hasn't been a good couple of days by any stretch of the imagination, though I have been v. busy with wedding dress related stuff (trying on and sourcing the possible ONE!)

Just wanted to pop by anyway, say *hulloo* and keep my hand in. Kind of.

JillD, hope you're OK xx

Hi,

Hope everyone is well & welcome newbies/returners. Toots, I'm really glad that you're doing well. I've been thinking of you. Also, hugs for anyone who's been affected by redundancy recently. My Mum got the bad news yesterday that She's being made redundant after over ten years of doing her paper round (she delivers the local free paper). She doesn't need the money but as my dad works full-time she sees it as a way of getting out of the house, so she was upset yesterday when I saw her.

I'm late starting my list today but I've been busy doing lots of errands

Right thought I'd give it a go and this is what I have done in the last hour and a bit.

Not too bad, will attempt hoovering in the morning as shoulders v.stiff, will do bathroom and sweep and mop floors also. Bedding being changed tomorrow.Hopefully fit it all in before going to physio and collecting OH from train station.

Also lamb stock on with £2 for 2kg lamb bones from Mr M and a fish pie prepped for tomorrow so just needs assembling and potatoes doing

Hopw everyone else is ok, not had chance to catch up yet, hugs to anyone who needs them and hope everyone is ok and bearing up under these terrible conditions some people are living in

I really felt very CBA this afternoon, but feel so much better now I have done a little bit.

Does anyone else think this is really disgusting...

In the White Company catalogue, the owner of the company goes on about how you can use a top sheet on the bed, and so remove the need to change the duvet cover in between guests...ugggghhhhhh unless your guests sleep in a perfectly straight line all night, it's disgusting. Isn't it?

Hi Emily - good to see you. Sorry to hear about your Mum's redundancy. Even if she doesn't need the money, as you say, if she saw it as a way of getting out of the house, it will upset her. You'll have to encourage her to find something else to deliver. I'm certainly still getting lots and lots of leaflets for various things through the door.

Or perhaps she could take up some voluntary work?

Toots - I'll stick my £50 in the savings account I think. It'll probably be swallowed up eventually by the electric bill that seems to be the size of fuelling a small third world country. But it might earn my half a penny before it goes all electric.

I've pottered flying wise. Emptied the DW (which I had the foresight to put on this morning). Got the BM on. WM on. Kitchen S&S'd, bathroom decluttered a tad.

Fretted for a while about dotty old woman upstairs next door (above NN) as NN phoned to say old g*t upstairs had knocked asking if dotty old woman was with her. Dotty old woman has alzheimers and goes walk about occasionally. Old g*t said he'd left her in the car for two minutes whilst he nipped into Aldis and she wandered off. He'd driven around but couldn't find her so he was about to call the Police.

About half an hour later, NN phoned again to say dotty old woman was at the hospital. Some kind soul must have realised she wasn't all the ticket and called an ambulance for her. At least she's not out wandering all night. I think we need to encourage old g*t to get an electronic tag for her. It's so sad though. She was such a bright, intelligent woman.

Off to make stiry fry with bits and pieces in the fridge and rice.
