OOh I have been busy!!! Just having a laugh at my kitten. She has been sat on the living room windowsill squeaking at another cat sat on the outside ... it was her daddy!!!! She's an inside cat (theres enough wandering around outside as it is!) but she wouldnt have gotten out as she's in season and he would have tried to do bad things to her:rotfl:

Right off to do the dishes. Have been on the phone to my BF for about an hour so havent done what i wanted to do!!! I needs a slap!!!

Hi all, decluttered tons of stuff at the car boot, made a bit of money too, well the girls did.

Pigpen did you see my message on the other thread re the wardrobe cupboard with bears as handles, would it be any use to you or DS1 re Jacob? It's outside so I'm hoping it doesn't rain tonight.

Managed to do a swap on wardrobe with DD1 who haas opted for the smaller one so myself and hubby have relocated all our stuff into the larger one.

Currently 'resting' after another long and busy day...but productive.:D

So docs tomorrow, hoping it goes ok.Going to make sure the cat is in tonight as she and next doors cat woke us up at 6am fighting and we couldn't get back to sleep.:mad:

FFP awful news about your lad, just keep an eye on him re concussion.Hope he's ok. x

Ashia, hey well done on your impending move. Beverley is really nice.;):D

Pigpen as usual in her excellent way has said what i wanted to say!

froddy I know Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, radiohead, kaiser chiefs, the prodigy and I think I have come across Deftones, Sonic Boom 6, Noah and the whale and Kids in glass houses but nothing else seems remotely familiar!!!

Im in again. Thanks to our two guides Pigpen and Toots. I cant believe I got 4 stars last week and just because i didnt push myself to get the dusting done I missed out on the fifth!:rotfl:
We had a lovely family weekend much better than dusting! DH and I did a carboot while the kids went to nanas for the morning and got £90 woo hoo:money:and got the shed clear to boot (sorry!) The shed will now go on my allotment next Sunday so I will then be a proper allotmenteer!

Had an unpleasant encounter with an old woman on our way back home from blackberrying this afternoon. She basically had a moan at me for picking fruit which was on council land so everyones. I hadnt taken it all by any means, but was so shocked by how snotty she was. I think she had been on the allotment (not my ones) as she said, "yes we saw you here earlier" Dh said I should have said to her "snooze you lose" WishI had challenged her a bit more but didnt want to be as bitter as she was. Oh and the blackberries are lovely hah hah:T

rach

I'm in.....to a greater or lesser extent depending on how I feel this week. Plan is back to work tomorrow, on a course all day.

hope all have a good week

greenbee

Good luck at the doctors' tomorrow Triker. Glad the car boot went well. This illness seems to have had a strange effect on you... you've been decluttering much more effectively than normal!

Toots - good luck with your intended victim

Off for an early night with a book. I've noticed that my arms are very brown and my legs practically glow in the dark (well, apart from the nettle stings and bramble scratches from blackberrying...) so I think I need to work on my tan over the next few weeks (along with getting organised and losing weight :rolleyes:).

See you all in the morning...

hollyh

Evening all,

I'm in again, Thanks Pigpen and Toots.

We had a nice time visiting today, i ate far too much though. Oh and i had a row in the car on the way home and i'm not even sure what it was about, i'm not sure if he's speaking to me:rolleyes:.

It's because I've been so frightened by what happened initially with my body just stopping and not functioning, it's like I have to take any opportunity to get things done when I can. If that makes sense.

I've had an opportunity to put a lot of things into perspective and not take life for granted. It's been a steep learning curve.;):o
