Rosepink ~ are you enjoying the Gently series? I've heard you mention it before, and thought I might as well confess that my uncle wrote the series ( confess because I personally don't enjoy the books at all:o )

Wow LilySue that's one claim to fame I love this new series, please pass my good wishes onto your uncle and tell him he has done a good job. I've never read the books so maybe that's a good thing..

Miss A - you and your Mum are doing really well!

Wow Miss A you are doing a fabulous job - how old are you? My little girl is 10 now and hates cleaning although her daddy is home today after a trip so she has made a rainbow list on her computer so that she can try and clean her room - its bad I put pictue links on last weeks thread. I ebt yours never gets that bad :A

I have been waiting for the shower so have finally succumbed to cleaning out the kitchen drawers (well 2 out of 4). They were seriously minging and I have thrown away loads of stuff including 18 medicine spoons that were lurking in the top drawer, we now have 1

Kitchen and D/Rm still not great and its about to get worse as DS is now going to cook breakfast :mad: I have always said breakfast has to be done by 930 so he reckons he's having early lunch :mad::mad: then gave me a little pinky swear that he'll clean up :mad::mad::mad:. He is so cheeky he gets away with it (and always has done)

I must shower and dress then carry on - really dont want oH coming home to a pit

Sadly, he died in 2005 He was 82, though, so you have some longevity genes in your family Lilysue

After my HHC, kitchen is clean and tidy ........ again :rolleyes: Going to do HHI, 11:15 - 11:45, then coffee and cake with the children in the garden :j

Ok this week I am really going to get myself into gear and not disappear from the thread at the end of the week, as I have been doing the past couple of weeks..

One good thing over the weekend we got our internet speed upgraded to 50mb and boy have I noticed a difference, so there is no excuse for me not to be able to read or post anymore..lol Ok can you tell I'm a happy little bunny, I like my gizmos and gadgets, poor DH just scratches his head and leaves me to it..lol

I've also got my hernia back again as I stupidly lifted a pine wardrobe unit, over the banisters into hubbys train room, on my own..oops!! Didn't realise it was back until I was in the bath and felt it, so quick dash to Dr's. I'm now on no stretching/lifting for 6 weeks, but 1 week has passed so it's only 5 weeks DH bought me a foldup step at the weekend so that I can stand on it to open the top windows, or get things from the top of the cupboard without stretching. But It's all okay all I need is DH to lift the hoover up and down the stairs for me when I need him to..

Toots sorry I wasn't around yesterday to do your visualisation, but I did light a candle and offer up a healing prayer.. *Hugs*

Right it is now 11.20 and I am still in my nightwear and watching t.v. and watching the rain too..ugh!! Still at least it will water my little plants that I bought at the garden show, on Saturday. Now I just want it to be nice so that I can plant them out

Sunnygirl_2

Penny...while you're here I thought I'd ask the expert (that's what you're signature suggests anyway!!!;):p)...what do you reckon to a bag of M&S museli that went out of date in October 2008? Ok to use? Was thinking of doing some sort of baking with it. Not sure what though?
