Morning All :hello:

Potential piano buyer due here soon -I have everything crossed YAY :j :j she's lovely, she wants it

Foul weather so no gardening, so I may take my vouchers out for the afternoon and not bring them back :whistle: spent my vouchers, got some bargains really enjoyed a shopping trip which didn't really cost me much -Thanks Pigsback

Plumbing under the sink is Kaputt. I either have to wash up in the futility room until Popeye returns on Thursday to rescue me, or I have to do a bit of plumbing. The choice is plumbing, or live without a kitchen sink and dishwasher :eek: for 5 days Limping along. The dishwasher bit works :j :j but the sink one leaks/seeps and I can't seem to solve it but Popeye says it'll wait until he gets home, so I haven't spent on a plumber :money: but I'm washing the saucepans in the futility room :rolleyes:

Otherwise today I have/will:

• scratch'n'click 20p 20p
• online banking and update signature - looking good so I'm sadly excited by this Read it and enjoy back on line and looking good to clear before September
• menu plan (said this every day but.....I'm having a Fay-sulk about it ) oh dear :whistle:
• SELL piano (positive thoughts )see above
• shout at the seeds which have STILL not germinated. (good gardener/bad gardener we'll see what works, and Radio 3 hasn't) carrots have germinated, so I'll be bunging them in my toilet rolls today:D

Have fun everybody, I hope it's drier for you where you are.

It's drier here today but I'm in full de-clutter mode now.
I'm going to photograph a load of stuff for e-baying today.
The sink problem got me down yesterday, but at least we can live with it

This weekend I would like to achieve:

• Sort all the clean washing currently stacked up and get it PUT AWAY (driving me round the bend)
• Start sorting through the book pile, its so huge!
• Sort out some paperwork
• Sort through DVD cupboard and take out anything thats no longer watched/wanted/the right age
• Get the animals cleaned out (save time on monday)
• [STRIKE]Get the sheets changed (save time on monday again)[/STRIKE]
• Get some washing done and dried, or the kids wont have any school clothes, flippin rain!

Will try and get above done and:

• Find bigger pots and repot my rosemary and basil
• Move above elsewhere, too big for kitchen windowsill
• Continue with washing, hope to line dry
• Plant some seeds
• Price up camping holiday for this summer
• Add to 101 list, bit stuck now! Might leave it and add to it as I go, as Im sure once I get going I will find loads of things I want to achieve
• Meals from stores

Tallie - No am not Scottish - but pyjamas have always been jammies in our house!! Think it was from when the DDs were small & couldnt pronounce pyjamas!! And the computer is still the "pooter".....

Pookie lou - I LOVE Lost!!!! Have been addicted right from the beginning! We have Virgin so have it on Sky 1 - it was torture last year when Virgin didnt have Sky 1 - had to improvise!! Have you discovered the Lostpedia site? Its like Wikipedia but solely for Lost - its amazing, I always go to it after each episode to read all the theories! Its really good for all the info on characters/storylines/links between people/places etc. Its fab!

I'll stop now - could go on about Lost for hours!

Sorry to ask this in here but what is the difference between Comfort Mattress and Sprung Mattres (Arg0s) apart from fifty quid?

Grass seed - sounds OK for that price - freecycle I reckon would probably get you some if you have time to wait - what species you looking for? Hard wear stuff or just anything - speaks the girl who works in an agricultural dept..........will PM you.:D

Just looking for grass, don't know all this technical stuff like species, as long as it grows it does the job:rotfl:

Have just checked on ebay and had a bit of a shock, my scanner which i listed on the off chance, has now shot up to £41. Who knew it was worth so much when i left it behind the sofa for the past two years!!

Hello everyone
Did you all do Earth Hour last night? We ended up leaving the lights and TV off all night and played the game of life with a bottle of wine!! It was really nice and we both enjoyed it a lot, maybe make Saturday night no TV and lights night more often.

Andan - Sorry your tendons are sore, thats one of the reasons I dont do many massages now as I found it was getting very sore in my wrists especially doing things like the petrissage. Website looks FANTASTIC!!

Tallie + Mogchops Jammies in our house too but neither of us Scottish.

Cleosmum - See I told you you would have extra ooooomph when it returned didnt I!!

Going to carry on with my list from yesterday. Managed to open CTF for Pip and got £50 cashback and £30 of Boots Vouchers, whoop whoop!!

Hugs to all and enjoy your Sunday, even if it is an hour less than we would have liked!!

Hi everyone, surfing net from my bed, been in hospital again and trying not to end up back in having surgery. I thought it had been very money saving, had loads of NSDs but
- OH did laundry (bless) and got it all wrong, few items damaged
- fridge was full and now smells so some stuff gone off we not eaten
- work might get funny again about my sickness, had to fight for my job last time, long story, hopefully they ill be OK now

I am however just going to sleep for a bit so thats free OK?

Afternoon all!

Lovely day here! Am drying washing outside like a good girl!

* Storecupboard lunch and tea
* Washing at 30'c and drying outdoors
* Free(ish) fun this morning. Went to local lake, fed ducks with stale bread and played on park with kids. Also had a ride on the minitaure steam railway - £3-75 for all of us but was great fun. Piglet loved it!
* Meal plan for week
* Do a "to do" list for week


Thats it for today folks - hope everyone is having lovely Sundays!
