Car insurance sorted (this was on last week's list soappie... is it too late to claim for it? )

yep!

Oh yes... and just received a cheque from my grandfather's wife for £250, which is apparently what I was left in his will. I'm not saying it won't come in useful, but when I know perfectly well that they sold their house a few years ago for almost a million, and that my mum has only been given £1k, I think it's a bit mean personally... and TBH we both would have preferred something personal, like family photos etc...

I'm assuming the wife is not your blood grandmother. That does sound a bit mean.

I have completed the kitchen hurrah!

Back from work and slightly less bleary...Gonna get stuck in with a HHC 14.30 - 15.00. Kitchen WILL be sparkling when I get out of there....or else!

Mudbath - Sorry to hear about your kitty. Hope your doing okay. At least you were able to be there for it (sorry, forgot gender:o) and able to let him/her go gently.
Johanne - How you and Pumpkin getting on in your first day back?

Hugs and creamcakes to all (they're calorie free btw!)

But they weren't open at the weekend so I couldn't get it done then

Yup... apparently described by my grandfather's parents as a gold-digger. That was over 50 years ago, but my mother was a teenager (her stepmother is only a couple of years older than her) and remembers it clearly! Still, hopefully I won't have to have anything to do with her from now on... according to my dad, my mum has had a major falling out with her, although he doesn't know the details - she just came back from a phone call saying she'd never speak to her again.

Families are complicated...

Suppose I'd better go and buy that chicken, and then I might actually settle down and get some work paperwork done!

Oh and I want to make one of these http://tinyhappy.typepad.com/tiny_happy/2006/06/shoulder_bag_tu.html sometime this week so will be on the look out for some fabric

I love the bag - I began daydreaming about making it, but I have so many bags already. In fact I need to freecycle some. I want to make some cushion covers this week.

• Parcels - pack and take to post office
• Oxfam run
• List stuff on Freecycle

The barbecue we were going to has been postponed, DS has a temperature and is napping and DD has a friend round, playing up stairs.
On with the list...

AnW'sMum

Right running repair done on dyson until new bit arrives so stairs are now clear and hoovered WM on for 2nd time and a load in the TD on low energy setting.

Miss A has her biscuits to roll out and bake, we had to put the mixture in the fridge and now it has gone a bit too hard!

Now I am wondering do I make a start on the landing or the lounge???
