this is the problem everyone knows what we were up to at Christmas

I've finally emerged from the kitchen! Glad we're out tonight so it won't be messed up by cooking! Having said that I need to make lunches (pasta for DH) at some point. Might just get up early tomorrow and do it. I really bottomed out the kitchen - pulled the shelf unit out, emptied and wiped it down, cleaned behind it :eek: and wiped all the stuff on there. I also managed to fit the george foreman under the sink rather than on the worktop (rarely use it!) and sorted some stuff from a couple of cupboards. :A

Floor is just drying then time for a beer before we head out I think. Grrr, still need to remake the bed!

My DD was also born late and I ended up having her on 29th January.
My sister had had her fourth baby the previous 29th April - exactly 9 months earlier. My 15 YO DS recently made that connection and was like Eric Idle doing the 'nudge nudge' bloke and nodding at me and saying 'I know what YOU were doing...
I was able to disabuse him of that notion as she was overdue!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
On a flying note I have washed up about half the mucky pots LOL

kazwookie

Count me in for 9pm.

All veg now potted on, ready for car booting, as there is far too much for my use, just got to sort out what to charge per pot to make sure I shift them, but do make a little money from them.

Spent the afternoon wandering around the garden nearly topless!

Kitchen is also done, stars please, thank you.

I've got this on my list too... but am having trouble working out how to do it... nothing on the website helps (although I may not be looking in the right place ). So if you know where they hide the info can you pass the secret on please?

I found them terrible to deal with when DH died, demanding probate for £600 :mad: I refuse now to have anything else to do with them on point of principle.

ETA seems to be the same with all account types. Remember if you have an ISA you want to transfer then DON'T close it you lose the tax benefits, tell your new provider that you want to transfer and they should initiate the request

Oh and you can all blame us for the rain! We washed the car, did it all proper like even W joined in.

Sausage and veg for dinner, will push the boat out and throw some Yorkshires in

Toots - I've finished Monday

It is really humid here now.

Just got the family room sofa to hoover and that is then my flying done for the day. I may try to do a bit more of this paperwork though depending on how demanding the kids are when they get back - they are on their way!

Abbie - how is you Dad? Is your MS any better?

Kaz - good luck with selling your plants.
