    DW needs to go on again, bin in the kitchen needs emptying but I have nowhere to empty it to as the wheelies which were emptied this morning are both full, I may ring the council in the morning and say they weren't emptied today and hope they come and redo them later in the week.. would that be really bad of me? (as if I actually care!!!)

    Speaking as once who may have connections with said council department - go for it girl I won't tell:D

    Other wise flying going as slowly as usual - DD2 is coming round today while I'm at work to have a go at some of my more bendy jobs. She is a bit short of cash at the moment so to keep her off the cadge I'm paying her to help out with those jobs I really can't manage at the mo. So kitchen cupboards today!!

    Hugs to those who need one and huge congrats to Jo - we all need good news like that.

    Wednesday Wobblies ~ Bathroom and Downstairs Loo! (landing done yesterday) All done :j
    Star please lovely Toots, when you have a moment!

    Extras

    [STRIKE]Polish the mirrors[/STRIKE]
    Spend half an hour doing something for yourself!! Because you're worth it!!....coffee with friend ? No, as back to sore to look after DS and relax enough to enjoy it!
    (The junk sorting and making sure all bottles not half full etc is done every so often and is all ok at the moment......brought loads of shower stuff back from Poundland and Home Bargains.....so quite full lol!).

    Since 7 am have also cleaned the little porch at front where the toms/peppers are, as the water they had not drank had got a tad whiffy _pale_.
    Also got a pot of lentil, carrot and fresh pea soup on (mmmmmmmm) for lunch.
    Plan is to chuck our sheets in the WM once DH gets up (as not a lot of other laundry today and might as well make a head start on the master bedroom ;)).
    Also need to text friend and say that today not a good day for meeting up.
    Might also take DS to clinic this afternoon to get his length measured and see HV for general update (depends on how I feel!).
    Not really read all the other posts, but will later, hugs to anyone who needs one in the meantime, and WELL DONE JO.

    Morning all, checking in on list thanks Pigpen.

    Even managed to keep on top of kitchen and have come down this morning to a lovely tidy kitchen with gleaming countertops:D

    Lunch already made, wash machine ready to go on, just wondering whether to do tea in slow cooker - first time with recipe anyway so not too sure? Its a ww chicken & peanut butter curry but it would save time later!

    Have a streaker sat on my knee eating toast (DD3 2 1/2) :A

    OK better fly.

    hope6804 - you got me all nostalgic! Youngest is 15 so noone sits on my knee anymore!

    WM on - kitchen clean and tidy! tea will be a leftovers special - gravy, stock (made yesterday) leftover chicken and whatever veg we have thrown in for good measure.

    Now the forecast says 30 deegrees! Shall I wash some duvets? (WM on doing yesterdays stuff). Forecast worse for 2morrow so is decision time!

    I'm going to do a HHC 8.45 - 9.15 if anyone wants to join me.

    I'm hoping that my migraine will go quickly and I took some tablets early enough.
