    I plan to do all my flying today. I did most of the kitchen yesterday, just the floor left to do - will update my list later. I'm going to strip the bed now and get the wm on then I'm going to chill for the morning, flying this aft.

    Morning al.

    Well not been on recently as I have been doing the garden (now have about 15 sacks of grass) and the electrician has been round and fixed everything so now have safe electric :j :j

    Have had someone round to look at getting the kitchen up etc but think he may be over my price range so have plans to do it myself:rotfl::rotfl:

    Just found out that local school has Swine flu so will see f our school gets closed. Hope not.

    House is looking a mess as I have been focusing on getting the garden done and I can now walk to the summer house and IU don't disappear in weeds.

    Going to have a :coffee: then head out to the garden.

    Plan for this weekend is to try and tackle the kitchen as DH is having the kids on Saturday :D

    Hope everyone is ok.

    Morning lovelies – hope you all ok and not wilting too much in the heat!
    Today I’ve:
    finished kitchen – so a star for me toots when you have a mo my love
    Bleached dishcloth
    Thrown bleach down both loos
    s/s kitchen
    Emptied recycling bottle/can bin out of utility – blooming hummed like gone off vinegar with loads of mould – YUCK, must be the alcohol from cans that causes this
    Bleached said recycling bin
    Wm on
    Dw on
    Hung out washing
    Showered and not sat at work

    Really CBA – it’s like a greenhouse in here – two enormous windows that get the sun all day, no fans or air con, told Fred (my work colleague) that we should go and sit in the kitchen bit as that’s the coolest place. We haven’t turned the lights on as they contribute to the heat, have door open and side door in kitchen but there’s no wind, hair already stuck to my head and am a lovely shade of beetroot cos of the heat – attractive – not!!
    Sorry I didn’t post yest – but had done sweet FA so felt I couldn’t! So:
    Dusty – happy belated bday my love and positive vibes for job :bdaycake:
    Fedup – take it easy love- don’t push yourself, I too had counselling and meds after my Nana died, it was about 8 months after that it hit me and took me by surprise
    Jo – you worked hard on the fridge WTG!
    Toots – take it very, very easy or I will be slapping your behind for you! The heat will not be helping either I’m sure
    Sorry for not mentioning all you others; will make more of an effort
    Love and hugs to all – whether you won’t/need them or not! Xx
    In next post I’ll tell you about DD1 painting bedroom, but will have to calm down first!!!! :eek::eek:LOL

Didn't help DH to rest as it was getting him wound up, woke up with pins and needles in left arm!!! If I could get my hands on the little sh*t what done it his life wouldn't be worth living!! Instead I complained to the Council and to the Neighbourhood Help Line, and the Environmental Health will be sending out a letter :D DH still not too good though, very tired and just not himself, waiting for Hospital next week is driving him nuts as wants this over asap, heat aint helping him so I'm going to try and find a cheap fan for home (Ditto for me)
