Morning all
Luckily not enough washing for a load because it's dull, damp and drizzly. Not very warm either.
Bathroom/study done now (Toots or Soappie?)
I've made a sponge and some little fruit cakes.
Did you know you can make a seat cover for your computer chair with an old single bed sheet and lots of sewing while it's on the chair? Well, you can. Mine was getting very thin and I haven't seen any covers for it (I was thinking something like an elasticated mob cap affair). Looks OK, but who knows how long it will last.
Good luck for later Lady L
Hope Toots and Pigpen are on the mend.
I saw Emily on here briefly a couple of days ago I think, could have been near the end of the old thread. Hope you're OK Emily.
Welcome Tillybilly. Our leader/s are not very well at the moment but you're most welcome to join in and Toots will send you a welcoming pm when she's feeling better.0 -

Its raining! :mad: Now do I put on my only waterproof coat and traipse to town and get hot and sweaty & icky, or do I put my cooler coat on and jump the bus with a brolly? :rolleyes: I'm thinking the latter
Would leave me a little short this month, but I could manage. Maybe get the bus there with a single ticket and then walk back if I'm feeling up to it?
Flying wise.. I've washed up some dishes and juggled some more bits on the computer :rotfl::rotfl:

Welcome back SSL
Toots is poorly at the moment, so if she doesn't get better soon we might need to send you over to check up on her!
Pigpen's poorly too....
Freecycler has been. One load of washing done, but no chance of drying it, as it's been raining all day!
Plumber due to arrive between 1pm and 3pm. And my new yoga mat will hopefully arrive before I leave at 4pm, although delivery is 9-6pm. I've also got another freecycler picking up at 5pm, but she's been before so I can leave the stuff out for her. Decluttering is going well!
I've done quite a bit of paperwork - sent off a form for online banking, an ISA transfer, printed my expenses cover sheet ready for tomorrow, rearranged some piles(!), filed by credit card and bank statements. My sharesave statement has also arrived, so I have to decide what to do - I know I'm going to take up the share option, as I'll definitely do well out of it, but I need to decide whether to leave them, or sell and reinvest. I need to make my mind up by 21st May...
Airing cupboard has been emptied, and the DW run too. Off to strip my bed and get the sheets ready to go in once the plumber has been.
Oh - and if anyone is thinking of buying a bed from Warren Evans, let me know as I can give you a voucher for £15 off (and they give me £15!)

I have a raging water infection.. and a kidney infection (left one only.. right one appears fine) I have a soaring temp.. a gallon of AB's (that won't work cos they are the crappiest ones they can give.. so I'll be needing different ones by Friday!), 2 boxes paracetamol and a bottle of potassium citrate.. damn that stuff is rank!! Whoever decided it was medicinal was crazy.. why would ANYONE drink more than a teeny tiny sip?!
I am undecided as to whether I go to college tonight yet.. I'll see how I feel.. feeling pretty grotty at the moment.
Kazwookie.. thank you for my card hun.. was very sweet of you.. ((((hug))))
