Cheers Grateful - but that would involve city centre :eek:. I blame my parents who were OS misers and shopping phobic long before it was fashionable.

Mudbath - I love Anglesey too. Know what you mean about not the brightest though - our collie/lab cross is dim as anything but Ben our collie at six months is a live wire. He has mastered opening the back gate now as well as the back door both ways and goes to visit the neighbours :eek:. Found some agility classes locally and will try him on those once the boys are back at school. I suspect he is bored a lot of the time which is why he chews so much, poor chap.

I was thinking today about voices. I know what a lot of you look like from Facebook but I think in words and noises rather than pictures so I want to know what you sound like (while it is the weekend and we are allowed to be off topic!)? I am ex of Cheshire (a wooly back specifically by birth), most people I went to school with are scouse but I am generally accepted as non-specific northern with appropriately short A's unlike my elocution lessoned northern DH. Often shocks people when I explain exactly where I am from . What about everyone else?

Forgot to mention Flying. Mostly lots of DIY, but I have also washed our bed sheets cos some horrible cat has put muddy paw prints all over them, sorted a huge pile of washing, thought about filling the DW and de-cluttered the contents of *coughs* some bottles.

some list progress but I don't think I'll get any stars this week. Maybe I'll just quickly go and wash the floors so I can get some...

feeling a bit fed up today, not sure why. Still getting over big row with DH i think, plus my cold and cough still hasn't gone. DH went up to his parents to get some benilyn for me, think I will have to go to the Drs though as I think I must need antibiotics, it has been over 3 weeks now

cooked a roast for dinner with the chicken and new pots from the M&S deal - lots less fat comes off those chickens than the Sainsbury's ones

Finally got around to wearing my MBTs today, really like them, hope they are good not bad for my hip though.

Well mine is Scottish (well it would be!) quite gruff with lots of swearing and slang. Just think Billy Connolly and you'd be there.

Fly wise today washed up, sorted the school stuff and decluttered a sleep on the couch:D. My washing machine is not draining so I'll need to call a man in tomorrow.

phew, that was a quick spurt of energy. Not only did I sweep and mop the kitchen and bathroom floors I mopped the whole landing and corridor whilst I was at it. That should give me 3 stars. I can't do the study floor as DH has all his exam prep laid out in there, I did sneak in earlier and wipe down the desk and all the shelves though.

I know what you mean fedup - it really feels like that this week. I'm done too - didn't manage all the stars this week but everso very nearly!

hex - I don't think I have an accent at all. Probably just sound like a southerner. I don't like it when I hear my voice on recordings though!
