    Yep, I had to flick back on hypno's thread ( about Mudbath's dream about her plasticine Mr Men :) ) and I saw your "crying" post about one of your older ones.... are you okay?

    PS - yes, you write brilliantly!

    Right, my list. Not too bad, tho nothing's been done in the bathroom apart from me washing my hair - which will have to be washed again in a couple of hours, because ... you'll see below, I'm not writing it twice, I'd bore myself to death...:)

    - printed, did and inputted mystery shop, an easy one.
    - gave up the one thats too far away, v pleased with myself for that, looking after me.
    - sawed branches in front garden - well, leaping off *from* the front garden, they're on the drive. Part of what made the house look derelict, my neighbour not talk to me, and possibly contributing to the gradual collapse of the wall, so, even tho the bees like the shrub flowers, they have to go. And they've gone, a lot of them.

    Off to vote, will cook some rice ready for tea, then *hopefully* do some of that bathroom cleaning. I'm not promising, mind :rotfl:

    I'm sorry you're hurting, Shaun.... its a good reason she's going away, though, remember. And she'll want to come back and tell you all about it. But I'm sure it will be a relief when your OH gets home. All the best to you, and take care, as much as you can withe the little ones to look after too.

    Hugs.

    I'm so proud! I've started cleaning properly in the bathroom - done both windowsills and the sides of the bath, the mirror and even scrubbed out the soapdish :o talk about Hypno's spending diary being embarrassing.

    In fact, of today's aims the only one I haven't done is raking the grass at the back, and that isn't even on the weekly aim. And since my hands (and even my thumbs!) were killing me after sawing branches off above my head, I'm *not* going to beat myself up about the raking. I'm going to lie in my now fairly-clean bathroom for a bit. The floor is filthy, and so are the tiles. I'll live.

    I'd like to have been in a position to do some spider proofing, and even some painting this week, but 'tis not to be. London tomorrow, sister over the weekend.

    Its funny, the little things. I was just boiling the kettle, wanted to do something positive while it was on.... so I tidied up the bathroom shelves - now all the samples and stuff nicked from hotels in years past is in one place, instead of with the rest of the stuff, so I can use it all up - it takes up a sizeable little container. And the cleaning stuff is in a separate thing, again not cluttering up the rest of the space. Feels a *lot* better. I'd much rather be doing this than working, on the whole :rotfl:

    And if you're like me would have to re boil the kettle again, because of time spent doing other stuff:o:rotfl:

    What are you lot like! :rotfl: Yes I did have to boil the kettle again :o:D I have *seriously* started thinking about shelf stacking :eek::eek::eek: and I would *love* to beam anywhere, so its only fair I lend my transporter to other people. Unfortunatley its offline right now, so I'm having to walk to the local train station, get a train and then get a bus - off to my sister's for the weekend, so won't be posting ....

    :bdaycake: have some cake in the meantime.


    :kisses3::coffee: but do it :money::money::money:
