    I've decided I'm going to sue you for infecting me with glandular fever, I want compensation, I'll settle for no less than a cream bun and a non-alcoholic beverage.:p


    Obscene hot chocolate and a squishy bun then? What day can you do next week? I am busy Monday and Tuesday :p

    What hospital appointment? I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Gormaloid at council said I may put out 'farve' extra bags of rubbish next 'Chooooozdee'

    I am absolutely worn out this morning and have a blinding headache, so have done nothing all morning apart from sit on the sofa and watch a Lewis that my mum had recorded for me. Going back to bed in a mo as that's the only way to get rid of it

    I managed to do another drawer in the COD last night, so that's good, there are a few things that need rehoming but I will get onto that later. I've got the top drawer to do today, and the floor around the COD, and I want to hoover there before I put the COD back. The LR and kitchen are both in desperate need of hoovering, might manage that tomorrow.

    The kitchen sink really stinks, I need to see if we have any bicarb to put down it - I know we've got vinegar but I don't think we've got bicarb which is a pain as I really can't stand the smell any more!


    This is my list for today and tomorrow
    • wash up
    • sort out top drawer of COD
    • tidy floor around where COD was
    • hoover where COD was and put COD back there
    • hoover LR and kitchen
    • hang out washing
    • put away dry washing
    • do something about dinner
    Natty glad to hear lodger cat is doing a bit better, you are taking really good care of him and that’s the important thing, sounds like he is getting more love and attention than he would have with his owner

    Pigpen hope your hospital appointment is nothing serious

    Hugs Bonisbabe

    Toots I hope your wound heals up nicely and the infection goes

    Fedup have a lovely day at Chatsworth, that sounds lovely!

    Me, I’m so glad your son got a place at Uni! That’s wonderful! Sounds like you have a busy week, try to find some time for yourself even if it’s half an hour a day

    Hugs Holly that must have been a shock. Was she ill, was that why she kept falling asleep?

    Likklegibbon hope you are better soon, sorry about your weekend away – you too Rach

    That’s a nice skirt WWP

    I finished a bit early but hopefully you'll let me off! Have reorganised my wardrobe, 2 pairs of trousers to throw out, 3 for the charity shop and once I've lost a few more pounds there are about 4 pairs of combats that are a 14 that should fit :) ....and once I've lost more (hopefully) 2 pairs of brand new 12s! Plus a few pairs of more smart work trousers in varying sizes

    I've also cleared out quite a few tops and a couple of winter jumpers/fleeces, plus a bag. It's stupid keeping stuff I've not worn for over a year!

    I'm going to clean my teeth now and drag this lot up to the charity shop, then order our lunch at starbucks so DH can come as soon as lunch starts on the cricket.

    Later I need to find homes for 3 new cardis i've recently bought.

    haha Pigpen I painted my toenails green last night! DH said they looked like they have fungus growing on them! LOL! I quite like the colour, it's a fresh spring like green.

    I've put a couple of things on the swap shop on FB - things i found while turfing out my COD

    Hugs likklegibbon that's a shame.

    We've just had omelette for dinner - DS asked for another one but I'd got no more eggs - he had already had 3 eggs in the one he had!

    I'm going to have a shower now before I go to the doctors but I just need to strip DS's bed and then I can have a star so I'll do that as well.

    Is chatsworth close to you fedup?

    Right I'll make a move

    Catch you in a bit

    Oops revision of plans, our cat has something wrong with her, her back end is twitching and jerking like spasms.:( Got her in at vets later. Rang hubby and he said she was coughing a bit this morning, but he just thought it was a fur ball or something.

    Hope she's going to be ok.
