    toochoosey - hugs; sometimes there isn't an obvious reason

    boddy - that's exactly what the book is about so you'll definitely identify with it (and with the 'quirks' of some of the characters!) You're welcome to borrow my copy but I have one other who wants to read it after me, so it would be a while before I could send it.

    I don't hand wash things either - never have!

    HHI done - enough clothes for the working week - so

    Toots - a star for Thurs please :A Thank you x

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I wonder if my neighbour would notice if I went out and lopped his sycamore tree DOWN completely :mad: Blooming thing is taller than the house, and the sparrow today have been having a banquet on it between the buds and the greenfly, both of which have covered all my washing that was out, including kingsize white sheets :mad::mad: A job that would normally take me 5-10 minutes took me 30 'cause I had to keep picking/flicking/blowing blooming green fly and aphid (as in wingless green fly!) off my washing :mad:


    Right, sort my list out (if its gone its done... )
    Living pit, hallway, stairs!! DONE!!!!!
    Kitchen and dining room
    DONE!!!!!

    Master bedroom and Landing

    Cruddy Bathrooms
    DD's room

    :j:j:jThat's 3 more stars for me this week please when you have a minute Toots! :D:D:D



    Personal (includiug extras from this weeks list)
    1. Sort out ringtones for my new phone - don't like any of the ones currently on it :rolleyes::rotfl:
    2. Studying :

    3. FOH (windows, sweep front, wash frontdoor, clean brass)
    4. BOH (Weed, clear out down the side of the house, scrub patio) - Made a start on scrubbing the patio after I nearly went !!!!! over t!t the other night on the ick thats growing on it :o:rotfl:

    6. Sort out housing benefit. - on hold until next month...

    Right, I should really get on with some studying but its too late and I'm shattered. The next question involves working on the internet so I think I'll make my bed up and go up early with my book...its a choice between some fiction one I've got by my bed and Carol Smillies Working Mums Handbook - does make a change from clutter busting or cookery ones though :rotfl:

    See you on the new thread, if not before :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
