    Well, I have a sparkly downstairs cloakroom, washing in from line, washing out on line, washing in the machine and a pile of paperwork sorted. Too hot for anything else for a mo, at least the sun is making an appearance though the clouds to accompany the heat!!!!

    How did the rest of you get on?

    Morning!
    Toots and Lady-L how are you both doing today?


    Hi FFP honey ~waves~ at Piper xx I'm not too bad, thanks xx nice to see you feeling 'chipper'

    WM x 1

    Yesterdays laundry put away

    Washing up done

    Kittens/Cats fed...litter trays cleaned

    Mr.S coming later

    I am trying to get organised & packed DH & I are off to Glastonbury festival tomorrow...trouble is this new medication is making me so tired it's quite difficult...my 'friends' think I am mad even contemplating going this year, but as I told them I have cancer it doesn't mean I have to shut myself away...I am lucky that I now qualify for the disabled facilities so at least there will be a shuttle bus to trnsport our stuff from the car to the campsite (this will save a very long trek which I couldn't do now) so think of us if it rains :D Anyone else going????

    SSL good luck vibes for BF

    Hex well done on the weight loss...are you enjoying your kitten as much as I am?

    Toots how are you today? xx

    sexy birdie didn't make it ( P can bury him in the garden later :eek:) xx


    Hugs to all xx

    My HHC over run but I finished today's list. Had a phone call from library some of the books I'd order (recommended from here) have come in so going to pick them up before school run, I got gardening planned for this afternoon, weather is lovely here, I will do ironing tonight as I need to do more washing, and my own challange - not wash until ironing done is in force (although sort of broke it to comply with pigpen - bedding today, but I'm not counting that because my bedding doesn't need ironing if it's line dried) ......... anyway hope every is in good spirit today, and does anyone know if rose is having a good time at parents? As I've not seen any post by her this week.

    Level One

    strip the bedding and get it washed.. air the duvet
    Mattress vacuumed turned vacuumed other side and redress bed
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Deal with the floordrobe
    tidy the underbed stash of junk and miscellaneous gibble!! Rehome those dust mammoths!!
    [/STRIKE]
    Wipe all the doors and frames upstairs
    Level Three
    Vacuum floors
    Tidy a cupboard/chest of drawers
    Dust and deweb.. inc bed frame!!

    Wont wash the old bedding today as my horse is full, will put the new stuff on though. Its so much easier having 2 sets, i only used to have one and it was such a pain. Under the bed was done recently so only needs a hoover. Will get cracking before the tennis starts, will do my ironing while it is on i think.

    Done a HHE this morning with davina, was like torture, i was so sweaty and i couldnt find my weights so used soup cans, they ended up a little sweaty too:o Will look out my weights for tomorrow.

    Enjoy glastonbury lady L, i love concerts but big festivals are my idea of hell:eek:

    Sometimes I think it'd be easier to just set up a direct debit to the vets and be done... either that or just hand over my wallet, and tell em to help 'emselves... that's what they normally do!!! ~~~~~~ wanders off, grumbling about exorbitant vets fees~~~~~

    I think we may well have instigate an entry test - I can see that Mrs Beatson and Mudbath together are going to be trouble and SS supergirl had to join in too - that Mrs Beatson is a bad influence -this was a quiet SANE thread for a while - now its all going to hell in a hand basket - I give up:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    *mutter mutter moan moan huff puff* Toots hangs her head in despair and wanders aimlessly away hoping that its all a bad dream and tomorrow she will wake up and all will be restored to peace quiet and ladylike decorum and things wont go t1ts up again!

    LMAO. An entry test... well that's me fooked then eh!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    How's you today angel????
