    Here you go soappie you can have a moan at me - I have done too much:rolleyes::rolleyes: I admit it!!! Since my last post I emptied the fridge and cleaned it all even had the shelves out - then moved it back into the kitchen - that wasnt the hard bit - the hard bit was re-connecting the plug in behind - the space is smaller now and even thought its just a couple of inches narrower the fridge is a tight fit and the plug is in a dreadful place BUT I improvised (eventually) and its all done and everything is back in the fridge - I am pooped! So have a moan at me and then I will give you a kick!!

    Ooh, just read tomorrow's list and that's the other stuff I did today, so another star please Toots next time you're doing them :)

    I feel really tired after work tonight so I'm going to get in the bath now and then read my book in bed.

    Night all.

    Toots - I'm watching you and that is naughty! Banana loaf (mine is banana and date but I sub for sultana) is made in a loaf tin the the AGA (oven).

    DW load one done and put away, load 2 almost ready to go. Kitchen back to being ship shape.

    I might watch a little tv (I have 2 more items to stitch labels in) and then bed I think.

    Quite busy going to Mum's in the morning (taking some stuff from my garage for her next car boot sale so decluttering) then the boys have haircuts and I need to pop to Mr M too.

    Dailies will be done again and hopefully HHP (paperwork) and HHG (garden).

    Yes I know - my little kitchen problem made me run over time so I am off now.

    sleep well all and hugs to all of you - I think everybody needs a good big squishy hug tonight.

    love

    RoseP - thanks for the hug
    SarahSh - yes, it's sooooo early 1980s is Laurie Anderson etc. but good to listen to again (I think!)
    Frodders - thanks for the links - I liked the first one, but the second one didn't do much
    Toots - I will NEVER moan at you - you are doing admirably.

    You will be pleased to know (I hope!) that equilibrium has been restored. I decided to up the ante on the songs and have just listened to:

    • Midnight Oil's "Beds are Burning"
    • Adam and the Ants "Prince Charming" (though that reminded me of the time DD went to a party a couple of years ago and one of the Adam and the Ants band members was there,high as a kite, down on his uppers and living in bedsit land - how the might are fallen!)
    • Reel Big Fish - the F off song
    • Noah and the Whale - 5 years time.
    • Ian Drury etc - sex and drugs and rock and roll
    • The 'there's noone as irish as Barack Obama' song
    I feel much better!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
