    Toots - I got your PM and will reply by email. The Soappie SuperSaver brain is working overtime! You know I love a challenge! Oh, and when you get a moment, I have completed today's bedroomy stuff (expect the sheets which will be done tomorrow or Saturday - I did them last weekend.)

    Have just nipped out to Mr. T's and bought some champers and a pedometer :rolleyes:. It is on now

    My list of five things only has the dreaded ironing on it now. I shall do my best to do the 10,000 steps a day. Did you know it's 28 steps from my computer to the kettle.... I reckon if I drink 178.57 cups of tea a day, that's my 10,000 steps just about :D

    1. Iron mountain (half hour ironing challenge is not enough!)
    [STRIKE]2. OU assignment[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]3. Finances and tax man[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]4. Give bathroom another good de-mildew[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]5.Sort out cactus [/STRIKE]
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Off to update my list - more stars, I think ;)

    Where is Crafty??? Have I just been missing her posting? Hope shes ok.
    Hi Jo :hello: (aww it's nice to be missed)
    I'm fine. Just haven't been flying so couldn't post (beware flying mules)
    Think the heat got to me - no fear of that now. Normal weather has been resumed :rolleyes:
    Plus trying to decide about contacting OU about tutor. Anyone else find if you have something you need to decide about you can't get on with anything else? Anyway I have phoned Regional Office so will have to see what happens.

    I need a 'list of five'
    1.[STRIKE] Find pedometer, realise battery has died[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]get new battery[/STRIKE] :D
    2. Finish setting up (not so) new camera
    3. Find instructions and set up (definitely not new) DAB radio
    4. Paint new fence - weather permitting
    5. Do something/anything in garden

    Soappie - congrats for DD :T:T:T

    Natty - your garden sounds great - well done

    Hello everyone - congrats to msgnomey and Soappies DIL

    For the first time in weeks I am home from work without having any work I should be doing tonight, or any phone calls expected. Time to catch up - I havent hoovered since Sunday and the floor is just yucky.

    Going to find my list....



    Half hour each on:
    1. Sort Playroom toyboxes and book cases ready for holidays
    2. Clear Old work filing box - check for anything that needs to be sent to them, burn/shred the rest (left four years ago and they still havent collected it!)
    3. Clear SS2's room of boxes, find permanent homes for things like the never used ironing board and the christmas tree which will not fit in the loft
    4. Clear DSs wardrobe of kitchen stuff - if I havent used it in the last year will I ever use it again? :o
    5. Sort CD's into correct boxes
    and the rest just so I can see what I have got done later on:
    Removed the extras rather than feel derpreesed and do nothing!

    Way to go msgnomey!!!
    Congratulations via soappie for the 2:1.
    Hugs natty and thank for my PM xxx

    Sports day stayed dry. It was a really nice afternoon. DDs best friend at school now had confirmed swine flu - poor thing. I've been told to look out for symptoms. I've got calpol in and lots of nice drinks so we'll just have to wait and see.

    Right, HHC 415 until 445 if anyone is up for it? See you soon xx
