  • Hey can I try again this week (hanging head shamefully) I was ultra excited and managed up to level three on Monday last week but kind of lost steam by Wednesday; so for the second time I am trying to achieve level one all week.

    Dusty that made me laugh! I like the idea though, if I've only got a day to get the flat sorted I do it like that.
    Fedup Hun I know it's all a bit sore and raw at the moment, especially with the letter, and I agree with the others that you might need to talk to him. Have you thought about writing a letter back? That way you have time to think about what you really want to say, and say it in the best way. Lots and lots of hugs xx
    Quillion its nice to see you, did you know there is a film of Twilight? Came out a little while ago.
    Pigpen glad you are okay, hope you have a less stressful week this week.
    Kaz and OH lots and lots of good vibes flying their way to you.

    Today I must:
    Book taxi for 5.15am tomorrow
    Pack
    Print boarding passes for return
    Ring Auntie
    Vacuum through flat
    Washing up from last night
    Leave basil plants in sink of water
    Run (using new podcasts, see how it goes)

    Going out for dinner tonight, so we don't have to do washing up after. and early night for a very early morning.

    Love to everyone!
    xx

    Morning all, still catching up.

    Monday's list all done :) Toots/Soappie (sounds like a tag team ;))

    I've also damp wiped the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Hope today goes well Kazm & OH.
    Hope things work out how you both want fedup

    Haven't caught right up yet so best wishes to anyone else who needs them.

    I've been to the vet with my dog this morning. We noticed a swelling on one of her ear pads yesterday. She's covered in lumps (fatty cysts) but this was different. Apparently she's got bad ears (spaniel ears) and must have rubbed her ear too hard or shaken it and hit it because she's got a haematoma now. She's had an injection and special drops which do fleas/earmites/lice and Uncle Tom Cobley and all. Got to take her back on Thursday to see how it's doing but she'll probably have to have it drained. Good job I'm rich....

    Going to catch up a bit more now after I've shut the windows to keep the smell out from next door.

    Big hugs MOJ2, I would definitely report the dodgy builder to Trading Standards, he sounds appalling. I don’t suppose your insurance would pay for the new electrics to be put right, probably not but might be worth checking

    Rocketchimp, don’t feel ashamed, you did well but perhaps need a different system! Definitely try doing level one each day, that’s the best way to do it as you can then build up once you are used to doing level one

    Hi Emily! It’s so nice to see you! We’ve missed you

    Pollybear, do you have very smelly neighbours? Wondered why you need to shut the windows to keep the smell out from next door!
