    Hi guys :wave:

    Get better soon toots & pigpen xx

    Been to work and been to the bank so need to do the kitchen and stuff cause teenie seems to have 'forgot to read that bit on the note I left' and he's out :rolleyes: but he did bring in the washing which is a good thing cause it's bucketing down, has been all day.

    I tried to take pics of the kitten yesterday but the mad thing won't keep still long enough, I'm persevering. I'm sick of it's litter tray though nowhere else to put it other than next to the back door which is in my dining/spare room right next to where the pc is and the stench is making me gag - I change it twice a day too but it's pooing all the time so can't keep up. and it keeps missing the tray.....:rolleyes: littleys never even bothered with it :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Other than that little whingeing session all's fine and dandy in the embb household :D

    Thinking of you LL x

    Wow, the thread is moving fast, and my memory is not good.... Hope all's well with Pigpen, Toots, Mo4, et al.....

    Many thanks for your kind msgs and posts, Rosepink, Hex2, Valli, Mo4, Gratefulforhelp (apologies, I know I have missed some out....) you are a lurverley bunch! By way of explanation, I have been awol battling the BD, which has been exacerbated by my current employment situation. As energy and motivation have been low, it has been a bit of a vicious circle. Trying to hide it from family and friends with a smile is also rather tiring! Anyhoo, I have reached the stage where I think I can muster the energy to conquer both.

    Right. Self indulgent whine over......FLYING!! I have decluttered, dusted and hoovered front room, folded laundry - doesn't sound like much, but it was sooooo bad. I was too optimistic yesterday wanting to do the whole house in one - but I have made a start!! A pat on the side, I tried,I tried!!

    Valli - I thought all the inconsiderate cankers had moved to my neck of the woods!! It's a daily occurrence round here- but with tractors instead of lorries!

    Oooohhhh - HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHILB!!!!!!
    :A FLY FIRST, KNIT LATER :A

    I've had a good sort out cause I couldn't stand it any longer. Broken lawnmower has been thrown outside, it was taking up half the dining room for no reason, the bike has been shoved in the porch as has the litter tray and the cat bowl (was trying to keep it out of there cause it gets baking hot when it's sunny) I've disinfected & scrubbed the carpet where it 'missed' and bunged all the rubbish from the kitchen in the bin outside. I've moved the washing basket and filled it with all the clean clothes that were lying all over :rolleyes: Need to get the hoover out of the car and give the floor a good going over, THEN I'll feel better.

    Gotta pick littley up from dance class now and take her to her nanas, teenies just asked for a lift home too, I said about 5ish, he text back asking 9.30. NO!

    laters :hello: x

    ETA: Sorry Phil mush brain forgot HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xx

    Have hooovered everywhere apart from the kitchen cos i'd had enough by the time i'd got there! All my mildew washing is on the floor in there, might put that on now actually as the last lot of washing is nearly dry now. Then it'll be easier to hoover after the biggest loser finishes.

    Had a lovely nap, it was just what I needed! :p

    Have got all the bathroom cleaning stuff in the bathroom ready to clean it, will do that later.

    I'm gettting there bit by bit ;)

    Who's gonna do stars when Soappie goes on holiday? I don't mind doing them, altho I will be busy tomorrow afternoon. If anyone else wants to do it that's fine, not worried either way really :D

    Hugs Summermoon and ZCC, hope you are feeling more cheerful soon :A

    The mildew wash is on, and I've washed up and s&s'd the kitchen. There are only about 6 things in the sink waiting to be washed! It's the least amount for a while! But they are quite big things! The kitchen is good, I'm so happy I'm keeping on top of it!

    Will hoover after the biggest loser, HHC at 5 anyone?
