Quick S+S of living room again and another hoover. Lit new yankee candle in celebration of nicely presented living room and newly bubble wrapped door panel all ready for winter.

Bedding washed and dried and crack on with the bedroom next and put new yankee candle tea lights in place in there

Will catch up with the thread later on tonight as haven't checked back for ages. Hope all are well and jinky is feeling less spacey and better

OMG!!! I think I'm seeing things!!!!

Lots of little blue men wearing white hats - whats going on???!!!!

Have changed bedding of DDs, and hoovered upstairs, done our flower show entries for the Church fete worse than death, DH has mowed lawn and tidied garden, and we have audited our china (well, pottery) to find out what is chipped and needs replaced. Hoping if DH realises cost of replacement, he will be a little less, er, masculine, in his handling of it!

DK Was it you ages ago that suggested Gift from the Sea to me. I have just promised my copy to my sister who seems to be in the same pickle I was last year with 5 adults at home and her 'doing' everything and not having any time to herself. It helps to put everything in perspective.
In two weeks time I will be down to just DH, me and DS2 at home. It is a very strange thought after all these years of having a houseful of young people. I hope they come home at weekends to start with. DD just lives over the hill with SIL too so I will see them a lot.

Yes it was me, glad it helped a bit. I'm not sure how I'll feel when my fledglings start to flee the nest.

It is all down to Greenbee - she loves smurfs;)

Just having a little break from the garden. Was doing quite well until a neighbour came over for a chat. I like a chat but not for hours so after an hour made an excuse to come in to 'check on something' I'll pop back out in a minute.

ETA on the smurf front.....is there one that knits ? or makes cards ? or has a bad back (lol).................
I do like the Hiker Smurf.....he is cool (although I know he is spoken for lol).

Ok, I have given in and gone smurf hunting!
Not sure if anyone has this one already, but the best I could find was 'Baker Smurf', as there is not a knitting, card making one, or one with a sore back!

poohbear59 wrote: »

Orkney star, I would like a bad back and knitting smurf too. Not the card making though! And now I can't knit because of my bad elbow too I hope your LO is not poorly.

Poohbear perhaps we need to adapt a smurf to suit our needs lol ?
LO has not been his usual self (upset tummy, was sick) and keeps pointing to his cheeks when I ask where is sore....I wonder if he is getting his big molars through ? On a flying front, have done 3 loads of washing and hung up indoors (duvet covers and a dark and lights load).....'tis raining outside to needs to be dried indoors.
ETA whoever is doing stars (toots ? soappie ?)- I have done all the days so need 5 stars this week thanks.

It goes very very well thanks Soappie....

The house is nice and tidy the washing is being caught up on...

even the books are organised

and my cd's are slowly being backed up and put into order

Wish my house was organised - it looks like Steptoe's yard at the moment - but at least there's no horse I suppose...

soappie - think i've missed something...is DD moving in with you?

Yes, temporarily. Her bloke's Mum is buying him a flat but the silly things handed in their notice on their rental before the other was even exchanged. So he's going back to his parents and she's coming back to me. When she moved out I turned the front room into a sitting room (the settee is a futon so that's the bed sorted) sort of archive room. DiL has been putting her overflow stuff in there too. So it all needs to be sorted out and put somewhere else.

The cupboard under the stairs has had a good tidy up and sort out this afternoon. DiL's overflow stuff is now in there. Archive stuff is now in my bedroom but will move to NN's front room tomorrow. My overflow wardrobe that was in the cupboard under the stairs is now in the kitchen temporarily until I work out where to put it.

DD has dropped some of her stuff off and there are bags and boxes all over the living room.

~sigh~

I feel exhausted.... and am having a restorative 5 minute break with a glass of Gordons. DD moves back Monday night so I don't have to rush through tonight but I would like some semblence of order...
