    Fed cat
    Washed, dried and put away dishes
    Decluttered and scrubbed 1/4 of surfaces - got rid of most of annoying little paint spots - and tiles
    Put fruit back in newly-washed fruit bowl
    Wiped leaves of orchid which was gorgeous for 4 months and flowers
    look now very sad but leaving the for the moment

    Not really - it was me helped muck it up in the first place! I did it for her about a year or so ago - that's where we sit when we have gin and gossip on a Friday evening if it's at hers so the white PVC goes all yellow eventually with the nicotine stains where we both smoke like troopers.

    Last time I did it, it took nearly all day but that was because something like 10 years of grot had to be cleaned off. It was much quicker this time - only a couple of hours because it wasn't so ingrained. She's back home from hols tomorrow - I pick her up from the airport just after lunch.

    BB and I took a walk out and got food. I'm going to do lemon chicken for tea tonight I think. Tomorrow night it's going to be beef stew.

    OR..... and I do much prefer this one!!!! .........

    Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.The frog hopped into the Princess' lap.

    "Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome Prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I am! Then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my Mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

    That night, on a repast of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself.

    "I don't f-ing think so."

    Great love this :T:T

    fedup you are naughty, after seeing your post last night I ended up looking at the blue cross website at all the doggies. One 18 month old who had been dumped because she was boisterous with the children, a labrador puppy, boisterous? No! People are horrid.
