That's really odd Soappie. Cats eat the funniest things 'Queen Victoria' is very partial to ready salted chrips.

I've washed up, cleared up the kitchen, thrown out rubbish (altho i need to empty the bin still but need to get bathed and dressed first), started the WM and put away dry washing, and have listened to my French lesson while doing all of that!

soappie yes been there before, kettle boiled before I rang them and had a shower. Our cooker here is electric (the spangly one I bought JUST before we moved) so dinner was ok.
rosepink my friend has one but it's not much use on shirts, different ones might work differently. My DP uses ASDA shirts, I rarely iron them but he just drives in his
greenbee I should have popped online to see you, I was awake until about the same time. Well done on the walk. Hope the blisters aren't too bad.
Lady Liberty, we'll all be with you in thought tomorrow, hope it goes ok, hate those machines myself.
Crafty that is in a way what I have decided to do, I explained to him last night that simple but time consuming jobs like checking CDs/DVDs/Games he can do himself, I will sort out the boxes of 'randomness' which contain all kinds....then we can put them away once sorted.
gratefulforhelp thanks for the reminder, something I haven't done is name tapes....pah I totally forgot. I got told those robot things were just for downstairs.....the dust box on them is tiny which put me off them.

DP is actually still in bed, which is winding me up no end. He's moaning of a bad back and feeling tired....grrr....anyway what have I done so far -
2 x washer loads
Filled our wardrobe with the several bags of clothes
Tipped onto the bed several bags of 'mixed' clothes, sorted through part of it then got sick of hearing him snore
Flung some clothes in a charity bag
Sorted through 2 more boxes
Rearranged some of the kitchen.....sure I will rearrange a few times before it's right (I hate having an even smaller kitchen!)
Emptied spangly dishwasher which is actually very good at cleaning dishes

i am going to make a cuppa, my lunch for tomorrow, wipe the kitchen, dust the bedroom and put the washer on. DH has taken the recycling down. Work bag is packed for tomorrow (my old one broke so everything trsansferred to new freebie rucksack - i'm a walking advert for tfl but i don't care!)

greenbee

Last pillow just in the TD for a quick blast of heat

Mattress topper (washed at 60) on the line - it won't be dry by the time I leave, so I'll take it with me.

Pile of stuff on bed that looks like roughly what I need to take with me

Duvet & towels in a crate ready to go in the car. Won't get to anywhere before closing time to buy the singles, so it can wait until another time.

Spoke to my dad, so I'm aiming to leave by 5pm... which gives me another hour and a quarter... wonder whether I'll manage it

Thank you all for your wishes, I went straight to bed at 9 and went straight to sleep as the lights were hurting my eyes so guess it was a migraine, feel bette today, just AF to contend with now!!!!!

Have out a load in the WM and been out for dinner so another lazy day here.

We are hoping to go away for a week next month so need to get the Wii fit out tomorrow and make sure I do at least half an hour a day.......Welsh classes haven't started back yet so I have 2 free mornings a week.
Hoping to go to town in the morning and pick up some bochures. Where I park the car there are a load of steps to get to the shops so a little excercise there!!!!
Hope everyone is well as again I have only skim read, sorry xx

Dusty.. my cats eat odd things too.. I have 2 that eat cheese, and one that eats peas. the 2 little kittens love hula hoops. 1 eats chocolate and 1 eats carrots and sweetorn!!

One doesn't like gravy... I think he doesn't like the sticky whiskers!

I have been to Mr T's and restocked cat food, cereal, bread and milk.. got a couple of chickens and some mince too.

I NEED to make a start on tidying the bedroom and the front room but I just don't know where to start!!

Have also done

Wm x4

I got 3 small xmas presents while shopping too.. a yoyo, a book and a DS game.

Bed sheets need throwing in the wash so I shall do that now...
