    My HHC turned into an hour but some of that was washing dishes. I vacuumed up the stairs and in the hall cos it runs on from the hard kitchen floor. I also washed the outside of the kitchen window cos it needed it.

    Toots - hope all went ok with your treatment today.

    Monday list all done (one handed so no excuses the rest of you!)

    MOJT lots of NCTs have spring sales so you could see if yours does (you don't need to be a member to sell - sales are on their website I think)

    I've hoovered downstairs and the stairs themselves
    watered the plants

    Floors just drying then I'll get the washing in

    Hex - was it you who posted the free gardening mag link? If so mine has arrived so thank you

    Evening all :wave:

    AnWsMum – yes, I can renew books on line, but unfortunately someone has put a hold on 2 of the books I have, so I really need to take them back, don’t I? It would be very bad of me to keep them out :o

    Hi mooloo – nice to see you again :wave: How are the twins, babies and DS doing?

    Flyladyflower – have a look at the greenfingers board. Mrs Macawber is in rented property and has an amazing variety of fruit and veg.

    Welcome back mudbath

    Ouch Dusty – looks painful. Hope it clears up quickly.

    Jill – menu plan, menu plan, menu plan! Look at organizedhome for printable pages

    Rosepink – I’m so sorry that you are having a really bad time at the moment. Have you tried counselling? I think it might be an idea to go back to your GP (((hugs)))

    toots - hope today was better and Smelly Man was more fragrant!

    Just a quick visit from me. No flying for me, but loads of studying. I will probably crack later on and put away the contents of the linen cupboard which are on one of my settees at the moment (had to empty it for the shower to get fitted yesterday :o) as I cant bear to study with clutter around me. Oh well :rolleyes:

    Hugs all round

    SSL xx
  • Ironing Eiger has been conquered and put away - few mins breather then onto dinner - am wondering whether I've got time to hit Mr A tonight or should I wait til tomorrow after work - will ponder that while i'm peeling the tatties.

    Will ask DH to shove the vac round while i'm cooking methinks - he's great at things in straight lines like vaccing, mopping and cutting the lawn but not so good at circles so dusting's out :D
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    Oh Toots - a Tuesday star please :D (haven't done the sheets and mattress because I do them on Saturday and have only just done them)

    And my fling list: (RoseP - take note!)

    • 1 tatty duvet cover that's no use to man nor beast anymore. 1 tin of balti vegetable curry that no-one knows who bought and is out of date. 1 lot of redundant papers from the notice board. 1 driver CD for a printer I no longer have. 2 leadless pencils. 1 worn out scourer. 2 packets of christmas chocolate coins - BBE April 2008 :o
    • 1 set of fixing instructions for a shower that was fixed months ago. 1 charger for a mobile that is no longer in existence. 1 set square. 1 old business card. 1 chewed and useless dog lead. 1 x lot of loose change recycled in £50.00's worth of notes courtesy of the corner shop :D - Note I did not cheat and add on every individual coin....
    • 6 pieces of wood from garden gone to best friend up the road. 1 half of a hair clip (don't know where the other half is). 1 Which magazine from January
    • 1 book sent in the post for RosePink, 1 old Staples catalogue, 1 jiffy bag, 4 plant labels, 2 dead plants, 2 useless plant pots, 3 old Christmas cards
    This week's fling: 37/50 things by Friday night
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Toots thanks for your kindness. Hope all was a teeny bit better today, is this 2 of 13? Its progress?

    Rosepink I would echo what Sunnygirl said about ADs, if some don't suit, others may. Best advice I have had when depressed is to "do more of the things that work for you, and less of those that do not" sounds really facile, but if you think about it you will probably know what makes you feel a bit better. Mine were less alcohol and coffee, more sleep, more exercise, more outdoors, seeing people who were supportive and not seeing those who dragged me down. Thinking of you.

    Evening al

    Hi mooloo – nice to see you again :wave: How are the twins, babies and DS doing?

    Hi,skintscotslass, everyone is doing fine really. But I am about to part the waves from the twins and thier babies. Baby Girl P is 18 months old now.
    Baby Boy J is 16 months old. ! And granny is exhausted!!!!:rolleyes:
    The girls now both have new boyfriends, and one of them has already said that he loves BGP as his own. So thats a bonus.
    The other relationship with twin2 is not so far on, but seems to be ok. Boys a bit young if you ask me, as he is only 18, but he seems to have taken the fact that twin2 has a baby and is here and not expecting them to go out all the time. Infact both the boys have done quite a bit around the house lately, to help me.
    I will have to get you some photos some how. I just havent worked out how to get a picture on to my posts?
    Bath time for the babies. I can hear them coming up the stairs.
    DS has amended his ways, is looking forward to an apprenticeship with DAF trucks in the summer. He and I are going our own way and renting a small cottage at the beginning of next month. The twins are both going into Assisted Living accommodation with thier babies. So I hope that they will all be happy, and that after 18 + months of my having to do everything, I will get a well earned rest, get my health on an even keel, and maybe even get a little job again. Who knows!!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
