    Hi everyone,
    It's been a long day at work so I'm looking forward to the long bath at the end of this list! But I'm hoping the chaos that is currently the kitchen is mainly superficial and once the washing up is out the way it will soon be done. I also desperately need to put away the piles and piles of laundry that are round the house, but I don't know if there are enough hours in the day so may add that to the list later!! Lovely OH has said he'll help with the washing up so I'm sure I'll be on my way!

    Good luck all!

    Edit - 10.40pm - I give up! No Ebay or exercise tonight! I'll go at it again tomorrow!!
  • greenbee could it be a food that you have become allergic/intolerant of thats triggering your migraines? maybe its the wine

    Perhaps it's not enough wine??? :rotfl:

    When we were on holiday recently I had an agonising earache and popped to see the nurse. Turned out to be an ear infection, not much to do about it bar take a few paracetemol.. however I asked her if, when we went out to the waiting room, she could say to my OH that clearly I hadnt been drinking enough rose wine and he needed to get me some asap!! she did it too and you should have SEEN the look on his face, absolutely priceless!! he actually believed her for a moment there!:rotfl::rotfl:

    well done to all those that have done so well today.
    Ive managed to keep the living room and kitchen pretty darn smart today, so am chuffed with that!
    Does anyone know what tomorrows list is going to be yet...

    Bluetooth headset for mobile phone sorted out (bought half-price today when hunting for camera cable!) so I can use the phone in the car if necessary (e.g. when lost!)

    Fire surround removed, and fireplace measure and photographed. Email sent off to my cousin so he can tell me what I need to check for when getting quotes (and how much it should cost).

    Just debating whether to put the fireplace back or not... Probably a good idea as it's pretty horrid without it, but I need to have a shower and get going, or I'll be late, so something to do when I get back before packing up for my cake-decorating session.

    I'm not quite sure where all the time goes...

    Toots - I think the migraine might be because I've been eating rubbish, not drinking enough fluids, and going to bed late. I have to get up at a sensible time tomorrow for the course, and have lots to do, so I MUST eat properly tonight, and go to bed at a sensible time. I hope you're behaving ;)

    Mrs B - you know what's likely to be on the lists for the next couple of days, so start clearing those floors ready for vacuuming and mopping, and maybe give the bath a scrub and your lampshades a dust. And I'd clean a couple of windows just in case...!

    Note to self p 13

    I have flown at work a bit and I have found the two plant saucers which went missing so plants are where they should be. I was rather cross as I had bought pots and saucer and repotted them myself. And I found the dustpan and brush (bought from own money as so much is).

    ah well

    On a positive note all stuff on e bay has bids!

    Yey, I got something done.

    I have bought chicken corn and straw.

    2 large boxes of 48 packs in each of cat food

    Lovely shop assistant carried it all to the car for me.

    Went shopping to Home Bargains and got some bits and pieces.

    Then butchers and got some meat.

    Came home, chickens are cleaned and re strawed, fresh water, corn, grit and pellets.

    I'm just chuffed to have got a job completed.:D

    greenbee it's all the fresh air you've been getting :p

    Been over the old house, collected my 'under the stairs' stash of cleaning stuff, oh wow 8 bags of soda crystals left (from the wilkos order almost 2 years ago!!) also from same order 5 bottles screenwash, 4 bags DW salt, 5 bottles rinse aid, 4 bottles bleach amongst other things :o

    Managed to Freegle one of the standing frames we found in the shed and the other has gone to DPs elderly great aunt who we noticed was struggling today so I took it over, she's thrilled :) nothing wasted here. Got 2 sky digital boxes on Freegle now, unless someone here wants one PM me asap!! Just the boxes mind there isn't any cables, cards etc we just found them under the stairs, forgot they were there.

    OOooooops I should be unpacking those cleaning things, unsure where I can put them, there is LOADS!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    perhaps we should produce our own!! I nominate Valli for Miss June!!!

    keep forgetting to ask, does anyone know what's happened to the "read first unread post" button?? Its not there any more and it was rather useful!!



    The Rather Smug Mrs B xxxx
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Top left on the green bar there is view then a number then a little blue arrow box.
    That's the view first unread button BUT for it to work perfectly you have to log out at the end of your session then log back in - oh and have cookies something or other.

    IT cookies not edible ones BTW...I know you lot!

    Oh and I got to work (and it was my assembly and I intended to download stuff from the tinternet for it) to be told the server's gone down - there'd been a power cut - did I know how to start it up.

    Well I didn't

    but I switched it on

    used the admin password

    ***glow***

    it worked!

    kudos for Valli
