got in from work at 7 had tea & then went to the doctors as they now open until 8.30 on Mondays( one doctor was running at least 30 minutes late and her patients were not happy...! have just managed to S & S the kitchen so at least I feel I have done something today. Also found DS's summer duvet and washed & dried it so he wont have to swelter under his winter one,

Evening all,

I'm glad you're feeling better about things Froddington.

I attempted to iron some Dr Who transfers on a couple of DS2's tshirts. The first one came out really well. The second one:cool: i used two little pictures which looked lovely and then decided to put one on the top of them which said Dr Who. I put it on the wrong way round:o. So i tried to rectify it by putting one on the right way round on top. That didn't work either so i put a bigger picture over the top of those, and i just made a mess :rolleyes:. Ds2 didn't mind and is wearing it to bed. I'm going to buy some more cheap tshirts from QS, they were only £1.50 for two and try again with the left over transfers.

As well as making a mess i've done a HHI. My neighbour brought me some flowers from her garden which look and smell amazing.

ETA - soappie... how does BB feel about a nice long walk

I'm sure she'd love one - but 10 miles would be a bit ... um ... optimistic for her owner :rolleyes:

LadyLiberty glad to hear about the kittens and going to the beach on the bike sounds like you had a blast! Hope hospital was ok today

Wilf welcome back! How did your son get on at the golf thing?

Well done on your first stars Jinky and Swinstie

Frodders I’m really glad your head has been so supportive, that’s really great. Did you see the cheating evil woman (CEW) today?

Re oven cleaning, someone on here told me to get some Lakeland oven cleaner. I haven’t tried it yet myself but I plan to get some next time I’m near there. Apparently its brill

Payback – do not use white wine vinegar, far too expensive! Malt should be fine, but if you can get some white/distilled vinegar then that would be best as it’s the least expensive!

I got lots of compliments from DH on the dinner I cooked which was amazing as he normally doesnt say anything! We now have 5 dinners in the freezer, so thats great! I managed just about to get them in there!

I've washed up twice today as I had to wash the pots up to put the dinners in. I always wash them before using them even tho they are already clean, as they are on a shelf behind the bin and I just dont like the thought of not washing them.

Im really tired now, and a bit blue, but hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. I really should go in to the office and give all my stuff back. I really dont want to but I have to return my id badge and uniform sometime. Its just doing my head in. It sounds pathetic but I really really dont want to go there. Ive even considered posting it!

Blimus and HH you have both done really well for your first day on here!

That's the one I've been using - it is brill! Far less effort than others I've used before.

How about two five mile walks with lunch in the middle? It's not that far... honestly... only about 3 hours...

I've found a 3 mile and a 6 mile walk - so we could do one and then the other!!

ETA - just found a 9 mile one too!

Well done on your first star sillyinthepast :j

paybacktime2008 - to be perfectly frank, I used Oven pride (applications over several weeks) to get mine sorted out. Once it's sorted out you can then do the maintenance stuff regularly with the more OS stuff.

BlimusOreilly - well done on your efforts - you're doing great!

RoseP - you're doing very well too - and sounding much better than you were a couple of weeks ago. Keep your chin up love. You CAN take your stuff back to the office. As soon as you've done it, you'll feel a lot, lot better - because you'll never have to go there again

Oooh, I'm all excited. I have had a stag beetle in my garden! I could see one of my cats was looking intently at something just outside the patio doors. I had a peek and it was a stag beetle on its back. I shooed the cat away and used a bit of card to gently flip the beetle back onto its legs. Went in to get my camera. Came out again and it had clearly scurried off somewhere so it's still Ok. Must have been camera shy!

Dinner eaten. Am about to sort out the washing up and then go to bed. I've had too many late nights recently.
