    Back from work and food shopping (yawns). Bedding is in the TD. Littles are tidying the playroom floor, and then they are going to hoover. A bomb appears to have hit the kitchen since yesterday which is infuriating - time for S&S.

    need to find a new avatar cos I keep thinking your posts are mine hope, just do that and drink my coffee then HHC 4.45-5.15 if anyone cares to join me?


    Bit late - I'll join the HHC!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Will wash everything tomorrow as the forecast is much better, today has been awful.
    I've cleaned the bathroom though, so hopefully that will give me some time in the garden tomorrow, & I've fettled a cupboard & bookshelves in the lounge. I'll drop them off at a charity shop next time I'm out or Freecycle them.
    Better make some tea...

    Oooooooooooooooh I'm child free for an hour for the first time since the holiday's started!

    Sadly I'm going to get my flying finished and then I might sort the box of photos from my Nan's house.

    JJ - thanks for that - I've never been to Netto - it is a couple of towns away but they have work troussers too which he needs so I could well be planning a trip up there on Friday or even tomorrow afternoon

    Kitchen S&S'd and downstairs hoovered. How did you get on Moam and Quillion?

    I put the last lot of washing on the airer made a dozen scones and started tea.

    I also cleaned the kitchen again!!!!!!!

    The dehumidifier and blowers are really noisy so when i was in the kitchen today mum shouted to tell me someone had walked down the side of my house. I went outside as i thought it was the repair man for the cooker and there was a guy just going back off my drive with an old broken fan and the old sky dish in his hand. I said excuse me may i help you and he said alreight love just tecking thee srap metal. I asked him why he did not knock on the door and he said he had knocked but we hadn't answered.
    I let him take the stuff as it saved me a trip to the recycle centre but i made a note of the number plate and phoned the police. The reg did not match the van what a shock!!!

    Worried now as we have loads of decking on the drive and we are not going to be here for 5 days.

    Looks like we will be moving the decking andgetting a new lock on the shed !!

    I hate how your treated when you go into the jobcentre they really are so rude.
    Something like 40/50 years ago my mother went into the Labour Exchange with a query about employment regulations about cleaners.
    She was furious with the woman she spoke to who at first assumed she was a cleaner looking for work and then totally changed her attitude when she realised mum was an employer.

    Who is the smurf for this question?

    What is the best way to get a cheap, legal copy of MS office? With a hard copy?

    Thanks, flypeeps, I know someone will have the answer!

    Hi all,

    I haven't done any more of my list.

    I went to buy the presents, then for lunch. I had a coffee at Neveah's and she gave me 2 bags of magazines. Ds2 fell asleep in the car on the way home so i've been slobbing on the sofa reading mags and eating frozen grapes:cool:.

    I need to do my hair and wrap the presents before we leave for the party.
