Jayjay, scales must have been broken or something lol, actually IIRC from my very ex (over 10 years ago) training days men did used to loose large amounts in the first week then I think most put a little back on
ladybirdintheuk happy new kitchen!
Mudbath, thinking of your Dad (and the rest of the family as always a worry x)

Been a busy few days, one assignment done and another partly started (due tomorrow) Going to work on that tonight and tomorrow. Weather had picked up here (cloudy at the mo but keeps blowing over) so got 2 loads then I am caught up with mount washmore woohooooo!! Problem is now it all needs putting away/sock sorting which I hate!

DS2 managed to get an insect bite when we were away and due to his 'if it's on my skin I have to pick it' problem he's managed to get it infected, it's now about 6 inches wide and has a smaller 'volcano' we have named it, ended up at doctors yesterday and they gave ABs and the nurse has dressed it, has to have them changed daily so will be back tomorrow again to get it redone, poor things patched up from his arm pit to his belly button.

DP got a smoothie maker off his Dad, not as if I don't have 2 machines that could make them and zero space in the kitchen but for some reason he actually wants to use it so I best go supervise...

soappie

Hugs to the poorly ones
Hugs on the loss of your hen Hex
Buggalugs - glad you've got water back on
Lil-me - hope DS's bite heals real quick

Got home to find an invitation from my sister to an 'at home' to celebrate her engagement. About time her and her bloke formalised their relationship! I'm really pleased for her. Not sure if I'll go as it's up in north London. It depends if they can put me up for the night. I wouldn't want to drive all the way up there and not be able to toast because I'd have to drive all the way back again (and the thought of taking the train on a Saturday with all them engineering works fills me with horror!)

Off to fly

Hi everyone

Have been AWOL again today and the rest of the week is now a write off! Was ringing for the other funeral and getting some edging bits for the back garden with mum's 15% off card Whilst at the funeral I had a call asking me to work extra tomorrow at a local branch so some extra £ there would be rude to say no. Then of course work as normal on Thurs and Fri.

Just caught up here, hugs and positive vibes in particular for soappie, greenbee, mudbath and her dad, lil_me's DS, and philb.

WTG Julie on the star I had assumed you got loads in the past as you are so busy and so early in the mornings!

HUGS to everyone, off to get dinner ready and fold some washing.

Thanks lil_me Have been happily cleaning it and reading the manual, and burning off the ovens to help rid them of that new chemical odour. Oh how annoying I bet you love that one in the garage

I even got a new cream enamel whistling kettle from a charity shop, to replace ours which wasn't looking too bad so I will keep the old one. Prestige no less! Looks lovely on the black stove top!

The guy on the till said it was brought in today by a landlord of a nearby flat, who said the tenant had skipped out on him without paying and so he was dumping any stuff they'd left. I thought for an awful moment he was about to tell me the owner had just died or something. Anyway it was unused and still had the stickers on! Not bad for £4 I've given it a good clean as I would if it came from a regular shop, and boiled it twice and tipped. I hope that person really has abandoned their stuff...

Hi all
I've caught up with the thread, but now can't remember most of it... Ah well. Lets see...

Congrats to Flower's DD for getting into uni, and witchypoo on the new cooker, good job vibes to Soappie, Greenbee and Phil, hugs to everyone else.

Tried to do some washing today, and the machine spat its dummy out so I've wasted two quid on that grrrrr. And have to wait even longer for it to be done.

But.... *drumroll please* me and boyfriend have had a proper chat about doing jobs in the flat (I feel like I do everything, he doesn't understand what needs to be done). So we've decided that Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I'll buy groceries and do the cleaning, and he'll cook, and vice versa on the other days. So I'll have to print the lists for him the night before so he knows what to do. I feel like we've really moved forward in the last few weeks :rolleyes:

Got my french oral exam in exactly a week, so going to go and print off crib sheets for the different topics, and try to learn them. And give the kitchen a final go over (our plan starts tomorrow lol)

Lots of love and hugs

philb good news that you can now apply for jobs - hugs re the car and the finances - its not an easy time for any of you -take care and the best of luck on the job hunting - what about supply until something permanent comes along?
ashbart we are probably more insane thatn when you last were here:rotfl:
jilld good to hear you and Dh had a nice day out and are getting a night out - the babysitting swap is a great idea - and well done with the flying - dont knock yourself it all counts and you will get it all under control - see how far you have come in the last 2 weeks - :rotfl::rotfl:
witchypoo - that sounds very efficient service - enjoy cooking your first meal
lil_me hugs for Ds2 - hope the volcano doesnt get any worse.
soappie thats a lovely bit of news - hope you can manage to go.
AnW'sMum you most certainly cant be rude....and it gets you out of flying:rotfl::rotfl:
carol22 thats sounds like a brilliant way of sharing the work - well done - and good luck with revising for the exam - you will do fine I know.

Hi Miss A - are you pleased to be back at school? Did you enjoy sleeping in the tent? xx

Thats 7 done 6 to go -treatment went well thanks to all your kind thoughts.

The ceiling and walls have had new plasterboard put up - there is wiring for new downlights which will go on after the ceiling has been painted and a couple of other little electrical jobs hav4e been done too.
The place looks like a bombsite - well not the kitchen because most of the stuff is in the LR along with all the painter's stuff for tomorrow for taping the joins and putting up covingand the coving itself is lying on the floor as it was the safest place to leave it- the fridge will be living in the LR for a wee while too!:eek::eek:
I have mopped the kitchen floor and washed the worktops as everywhere was covered in dust but thats it and I am tired.

Good evening everyone.

Well I've been very busy since lunchtime cleaning the kitchen to an inch of its life. Actually it didn't take very long as I keep it clean and tidy every day now, but the fridge had definitely been overlooked for a few days - a jug of cream with significant penicillin growth going on, and various other spills and smears:eek:. However, all nice and clean and hygienic now.

I have now completed today's list and have also completely cleaned the bathroom and tidied the bedroom; so please may I have today's star toots :j:j
