Jo did you check the Direct Gov website I posted a link to? Get on to housing benefit Monday too, especially as you have not had wages...
you know where we are when you want to vent...

Yes I did Lady Sainsbury - thank you - i think that was the one that I was able to apply online to.....

Im going to phone the council on Monday and go in and see them, they are on my 'Monday To-Do list'!

Did DH's washing when he got home and dried some of it before it went very black. It's pouring with rain now, I'm sure it said dry until tomorrow.

I've done another of my weekly jobs - I have taken the garden rubbish to the recycling centre. Heart please!!

I'm very close to another for the kitchen hotspot, I really must get that done tomorrow. I've given up on Friday's list.

Hugs to Jo.

I read through really quickly - and can't remember what else I wanted to say to everyone! So a wave all round:hello:

Next door cut back my clematis - which was massive, I have to say, which meant that all of it died back on my side too. I was idly pulling a few strands off to tidy them up, when the whole lot started peeling off the fence, and looming over me - aarrgh!!! It took another hour to remove it all. I'll just need a skip to get rid of it from the garden.:rolleyes: Next door actually have a skip at the moment, so I'll try asking them as it was their fault after all! I now have much more light in the garden, but the fence and trellis will need replacing, and next door can now see across the garden...

I have taken two pairs of DS's trouser (trachsuit bottom types) off the line and am *breathes deeply* about to hang them up in his wardrobe UNIRONED :eek:

well done Duchess Tesco! :rotfl::T:T We will get you over your ironing fetish. The matching pegs may take a little longer....

Ive applied online for Jobseekers or whatever it is......so watch this space. Lets see how long it takes. I need to apply for so many things its somewhat overwhelming, so I think my list will involve some of these next week!

Well done Jo. The housing benefit is as important - I see Queen Waitrose has already mentioned it. What happens about your P45 in these circumstances? I hope they don't give it out including the pay you didn't receive. Do you have the tax man on your list to talk to? Have you told your parents yet?

I have had a productive day. Have made a garter for my sis to wear at her wedding. It has blue in it so that'll be the blue bit. Soooo cheap to make yourself. The bits only cost me £1.62. Have also borrowed best friend up the road's husband to sort out a flat tire on DD's car (she had to go to college and leave it).

Have found out we definitely have drug dealing going on from a house at the end of my road so I need to do an email about that.

DS and DiL have put an offer on another flat after the estate agents p*ssed them off so badly on the last one. So, maybe it's third time lucky.

Off to find something to eat. lemon chicken I think...

ooh I need stars for the bathroom and the kitchen please Soappie!

I have also vacuumed the stairs and brought in the washing and put some ironing away. I just need to whizz through the lounge for my friend is coming round later. Cutlery drawer looks sparkling; freezer is sorted.
I have dragged the guest bed back out and but the mattress protector on it (DS didn't because it was grubby) well I washed it a bout three weeks ago BUT the cat sleeps on the hidden bed if she can so that's why the mattress protector is kept on and removed for guests. Tut! at DS!

I bet I can get the LR done before the teenies return...

(I have put away, unironed, a hoody top (didn't need it) and shorts and a skirt and some knickers...I feel all anarchic LOL)

Oooh who are you going to email about it? I wouldn't have a clue who to email about something like that. What happened to BFUR and the news she told you before about bigwigs being in trouble in your town or something?

Hope DS and DiL get this flat that would be good.

I'm busy trying to be quiet as DH is having a nap - he doesn't mind the tv being on tho so I'm watching Celebrity Weakest Link and it's hilarious! Henry Cooper's mobile just rang and he didn't know how to turn it off!
