    and mine!

    Still done very little, have posted package, found 5 first class stamps outside my front door - bonus! Had a lovely chat with my sister though.

    I'm so mad, the washer is obviously not fixed, went in the kitchen to find the dial just spinning round and it not spinning. Won't drain either! Phoned the agent and complained about the handyman whilst I was at it. I said we want it done asap. DH is gonna go mad otherwise, is threatening to withhold next month's rent. despite me putting the wm on empty with just vinegar in, the water inside isn't clean, that makes me think the outlet pipe is blocked. It's probably a simple job and my brother in law is down this weekend to see FiL and is very handy so i might ask him to pop round and have a look!

    DH has just texted to say he's almost home, think I will go and at least finish the bathroom before he gets here. Dinner is nice and simple, falafel (bought from M&S) with couscous, salad and pitta bread.

    FFP......my duvet never came in off, infact I still have my winter weight one on:rotfl:

    I am still using the winter one too, Well I only have one lets face it if your too warm you can kick it off:rotfl:I'm a slop too I'm having one of those houses you see on Kim and Aggie the minute my kids leave home:rotfl::rotfl:

    Not much off my list (in fact nothing:rolleyes:). BUT I did the livingroom moved the furniture, washed suite, cleaned the glass petals on my standing lamp, dusted, hoovered, moved the TV, which isn't easy as you need to pull the wires for the sky box through the back of the fire suround thats fixed to the wall and it only has a small gap. When I need it moved again I will nag OH to do it as you need to tape the wires to a coathanger to get them back through!!!!!!!!!!

    Off to make a start on the rooms now.

  • Aah Penny, are you still hankering after Tom?

    Can't wait for the new Strictly series to start tonight with a glass of wine or two!! It signals the start of winter to me and before we know it Crimbo will be here!

    No flying today - will finish off the lists tomorrow - just going to chill and sort out some craft stuff before my nigel slater recipe leek risotto to try, yummmy scrummy!

    Nearly wine o'clock time, anyone else fancy a glass at a more respectable time?

    recycled casserole for DS with rice; rice with fish fingers for DD (she won't eat what I have made so she is cooking them herself)
    HM crumble and custard with apples I stewed in NOvember and I have thawed a hunk of banana cake for a slightly more healthy snack as I am leaving them tonight...they'll have to fend for themselves.
    They have been planning where to go for MY birthday - erm - MY birthday I will choose!
    DS wants a sleepover for his BUT in a tent in back garden . Him his two best mates. One's a girl! I said no. (We don't have a tent anyway).
    They were going to go carwashing tomorrow for tent money but as I said they aren't having a tent because I know who'll end up sorting it; drying it etc. And we have nowhere to store it and I am getting rid of carp not collecting more.


    have a nice evening all

    I'll be here
    and I'll be having the arabian lamb because I always do and it's lush!
