    soappie hope the line issues don't cause too much of a problem for you
    OJK fascinating. Yes, I do the not tidy but clean too!
    toots jelly and strawberries yum! Not quite better but I am getting there.
    Jo :rotfl: my dog takes my undies outside to meet postmen etc, he's naughty!
    greenbee, I suppose the sad part about that is if she doesn't want anything that she can't get DP to go and do for her, she won't come here anyway. Like this morning, she brought her other son over to collect the car (DP had to use it to get home after dropping them all off where requested) and she didn't bother to come in and say hello to the boys. Shows just how ignorant she is, they can't do things for her so she has absolutely no interest in them at all.

    Good morning everyone :D hope you are all well. Lovely weather outside, still a bit windy but washing machine is on with the hope it is a good drying day!

    Giving tutorial a miss I think, as DP was woken by WIL phoning at 9am I doubt I can get him up to watch the boys from 10.45am until about 3.15pm as he got in after 4am would be mean. I am still coughing and don't want to disturb the class.

    Think the washers just finished so I'll go hang that out, might put this dressing gown in while it's nice outside, I know it was white at some point. Nope it's just span again so not done. Considering clearing out the last few junk drawers in the kitchen, I know I should....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning :D Lovely and sunny here so washing is drying out on the line.

    Not fair :p

    Three sacks of garden waste now in the boot of the car, so I'll have to go soon or it will smell horrible!

    Yet more [STRIKE]junk [/STRIKE]lovely useful things listed on freecycle... fingers crossed someone wants it :rolleyes:

    Rhubarb stewed and cooling. Leeks & potatoes turning into soup in slow cooker.

    Not really much for almost a whole morning :o. And certainly not much off my list!

    OK... I'll go to the tip (I feel bad making a special journey, but REALLY don't want to venture into town) and then come back and do a castor oil pack and have a rest with my book!

    ETA - I've just discovered that my local tip appears to be accepting tetrapaks now... so the trip might be slightly more worthwhile than anticipated. Off to check what else I can get rid of there...

    Greenbee our local tip has one for tetrapacks too, we can also put them in our recycle bins now which saves me taking them all. We also have a garden waste one. Actually I now have 5 things for waste - 2 bags, 1 box and 2 large wheeled bins. Great having so many to use, pest to store and Mondays are a nightmare dragging it all out.

    Oh well, plans not going well so far as we've had 2 showers since I posted my last message, annoying as it looked so nice out there! Maybe it's because I am supposed to do those kitchen drawers :o

    Good morning all, I posted a long list of hugs to people yesterday, lost my connection at lunchtime and have only just got it back on. Can't remember who or what I wanted to say but I can remember Pigpen, doelani, sexymouse, Abbie, Mudbath and Rosepink and now Vanilla.
    Haven't gone down the van this weekend cause AF turned up rather incosiderately at work and I was just not in the mood. OH has gone down so me and DD are having a girly weekend and will be making pizza abit later.
    Will go find a list and see what we can be getting on with before finding a film to watch......
