    Soappie - I've got 2 kids who need rehoming (i'll keep one) are you interested? I'd hate for you to have an empty nest.


    Thank you for your very kind offer, but I think I'll pass it up at this particular moment in time - you never know I may change my mind in a few months.. :D

    Well done RoseP - I was worried it was blood pressure....
    He checked that and said it was perfectly fine. He said that I might have damaged the blood vessels in my nose, but its nothing to worry about. It was only spotting occassionally, he said if it becomes torrential then to go to A and E as apparently doctors in surgerys don't have anything to help with nose bleeds! He was very pleased to hear that I'm trying to lose weight and am doing more exercise.

    Valli, glad to hear DS is feeling better about things

    Toots, I’m really glad you might be getting community carers. I think we will all feel reassured that someone will be keeping an eye on you! As you know, I was a carer for five minutes and I really enjoyed it. The carers will be lovely to you and will make sure you stay as well as possible

    One Step, I made went into my kitchen earlier just to admire it, I had no reason to be in there. I just wanted to look at it all clean and sparkly! You are not sad at all, it’s nice to take pride in the results of your hard work

    Nice to meet you Aimee. Congratulations on getting engaged! How lovely

    Well done Mambury, you have done brilliantly! I was going to say for a newbie, but actually you have done brilliantly -you have certainly beaten me!

    Soappie, that’s great that DS and DIL have got the mortgage! How do you feel about living alone?

    Mumoffour I really don’t know what to say. You have so much to cope with, I really don’t know how one person deals with so much. You are an amazing woman, and what a sweet boy you have to not want to bother you with his broken finger. Big big hugs to you and all the family

    I really want to do some flying, but can't be bothered to tackle the bedroom or bathroom. I want to wash up but there isn't any! LOL who'da thunk it! :rotfl:

    Where is Jill? I haven't seen her for ages. Does anyone know if she is ok?

    Strange - which is probably why I'm agreeing to take chickens on!

    Right, I've made a decision. I'm more likely to get a star on the bathroom than the bedroom, so will start on that. And then if I change the bedding on Sunday, that will count for both weeks...

    Why does Shona wotsit on Masterchef always look like she's about to burst into tears? She isn't, it's just her face. Spose that's why she's in Eastenders, she couldn't be in a programme where she was meant to look happy! ETA: that's not meant to be insulting, she's really beautiful. Some people just have a face that, when it's in repose, looks miserable!

    Here's what I've got left to do in the bathroom:
    Thursday Scrubfest- Bathroom
    Level One
    Level Two
    Clean baths, toilets, don't forget the outside! and sinks.. shine the taps with a toothbrush
    Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc
    Level Three
    Wipe down tiles in bathroom
    Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins!


    Extra mission: Take your pick!
    1. Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms
