Kinda killing time MSE surfing, looking for Killers videos and looking at pictures of buses like my dad used to drive (anyone from Lanarkshire/Ayrshire/Glasgow might remember some of these!). For those who don't know, OS loves buses (yes sad I know but hey!).

Why did I think you were originally from the U.S., Orkneystar? Am I confusing you with someone else entirely?

Morning all

Grey and dull here today. I need to continue the sorting out of the front room

Aww Soappie you are not grey and dull, you are very interesting! :rotfl:

Dolly, I agree with you about the fence/gate, definitely needs sorting out so they have a drop kerb and your gate can shut properly. Hope your knee is better soon

FFP, hope you are better soon

Penny, what was the bad experience with smurfs?

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Sunnygirl

I am feeling really rough today - absolutely worn out and big headache, so am taking it easy. DH just would not go to bed last night even tho he knew I was really tired and wanted to go to bed early so I could go out this morning. We got to bed about midnight, and then he had an itchy back! I need to slather him in moisturiser this evening so he doesn't spend half the night scratching! Poor thing, he doesn't know that I will be attacking him with the body lotion!

Anyway, I didn't go out this morning, going to have a restful day and hopefully go out tomorrow. My only plans for the day are to wash up and do a few things off the lists, and sleep!

Next up, sitting room.

Wednesday star, please, Toots!

tootifruities

stars done to 624

there is something wrong with my pc or the site - I think the time is 11.34 by my post says 10.34?
Can someone tell me the right time and do my post show the right time at your end? I am most confused - but of course that not difficult - but it might explain why I have not been getting to bed as early as I thought! I dont know how long this has been going on.

xx_Jo_xx

Have decluttered the clean washing into relevant drawers/rooms. Have some more ironing to do though :rolleyes:

Have finished cleaning the windows in my bedroom and am about to dust and deweb.

Bed is stripped.

I need to declutter some carrots - does anyone have an easy and idiot proof recipe for carrot cake?? xx

Notso, sorry to hear about your sleep apnea mask, how long will it take to get a new one?

Hi Rosepink

About as long as it takes for me to ring them really, so it's not too bad. Last time I had a problem I rang them & I was able to visit them same day. It's the local NHS sleep clinic & they're brill.

Problem is, I have no transport & the hospital is 15 miles away, so until I get the new car (later today - yippee) I'm stuck. I messed with the mask a little last night & managed to get some sleep but I am very tired now...... I'd almost forgotten what it felt like to be tired, since being diagnosed and getting the CPAP machine..... but the upside is I don't think I need a lot of sleep to feel refreshed, because I've been used to so little for years, without realising I had a problem.

Before I was diagnosed I used to fall asleep mid-sentence....zzzzzz.....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm about to try a bit of sticky tape now over the hole & see if that helps and I'll ring the clinic later for a new mask (once I've got the car so I know when I can traipse over there to pick it up).

Flyingwise......

I'm partway through Wednesday's list.....I'm doing so well!! I'll post the list later..........

Thanks Penny!

Jo....This one is gorgeous. Have only made it once but it was really nice. Only came across it cos I googled it myself a few months ago.

Still not done anything....will get myself sorted and pop to the shops.

Hi all
Hope everyone is well & had a good day, just updating my list before bed. I haven't managed much tonight cos we've been out this evening. I should be home from work early tomorrow tho so will try to catch up a bit then..don't want to end up with loads to do at the weekend!

3tabbycats - thats the idea:T - WTG - the more you do during the week the more you can enjoy your weekends.

zoelikesjam - hope you are feeling brighter today and the knee is a bit less painful - you need to take it slowly (((hugs)))
boddy (((hugs))) it must be quite an emotional time
bonsibabe - hope you feel better soon
milosmum thats brilliant that Dh is helping - it doesnt matter who does them so long as they get done and it just means you both have more free time and the house looks great.:T
juliejim wel done thta sounds like a big job with the settee - hope you manage to do another 'dot' and join them up a la AnW'sMUm!!!
FFP huge hugs and get well thoughts for you honey - hope the doc helps - I am ok-ish - thanks for asking!! xx You should catch up on some rest today and not worry about the flying.
Eltee12 well done - you are doing really well - and next week things will be so much easier after all the hard work you have already done:T:T
dollydaydream can you take some paracetamols for the pain - keep moving it as much as you can. Hope you have sucess with the HA.
Triker hope the list is easy things - dont want you doing to much and then being knackered tomorrow - pace yourself woman!! baby steps with the bedroom and you will get there.
valli I think the ebay free listing isjust until the 31st august.

SS supergirl hi babes its good to see you - was wondering how you were but didnt like to text and disturb your holiday - it was a joy to finally meet you all too and the girls are just wonderful - I am pleased they have enjoyed their good bags. I wish we could have longer. I was a bit tired but it was a lovely tired IYSWIM! Thank you for your kind words about the flat - the new carpet was laid on monday and is fab - what a difference it has pulled the whole room together - its almost the same colour as the chimney wall so works well! have you let Dh use the lappy a bit? Hope you are having a lovely relaxing time - sorry cant help with the aga - there will be a website so you might get ideas there?

jinky (((hugs))) yes an appt with doctor would be a good idea.
happy Anniversary Sunnygirl xx

I hope all who get exam results tomorrow are pleased with them. good luck but remeber - you can take them again so its not the end of the world.

have been removing programmes from the pc that are no longer required and have done a defrag and some phone calls - so an easy start to the day.

off to sort out the dishes and S&S the kitchen

back later
