Just flitting in and out. Performance management tomorrow, but as I don't normally work, I just have to go in for the one hour meeting, not the whole day. Not done that before, should be interesting.

I need to get home and clean the bathroom...:D And if it's not too cold and wet, then I'll try digging out a bit more of the shrub in the garden.

Love and hugs all round. I'm bug eyed speed reading to catch up - I miss you all on working days when I can't get on here.

Ah that'll be why you've never answered my friend request then.;):D

Triker

Soappie...fantastic news, so very pleased for all of you.:j:j:j:T:T:T


Greenbee, I hear you and you're right but I am being careful, pacing and loads of ventilation. I just need to achieve something thats all, I feel useless.:o

Mudders, hope your son is ok, getting worried now as no update. Thinking of you hun. xx

Toots hope life is treating you well. xx

Lady Liberty, you ok? You're very quiet. xx

Kazmeister, glad your ear is clearing up, awful pain that is.x


Thanks re the tips re the lakeland mould cleaner, I'll have to wait to finish the bath now and the taps. Hubby's away this weekend so will investigate fixing them in myself...can't be that hard.:rotfl:

My house is a tip or rather the bathroom and the landing, now missing more floorboards. Humph, OH is such a perfectioinst he's had to pull most of them up to check they're alright...uuum, surely leaving them in situ is the best way to figure that out.:rolleyes:

Anyway, its friday and I've got loads to do.

Need to write another list.:rotfl:

Money_saving_Diva_2

Morning ladies!

It probably hasn't been noticed but I have been MIA. This is because my friends father died two nights ago and I have been spending all my time with her helping her organise things. He had been ill for a long time and in a way it's a relief, as he had no quality of life, but there is so much to be done and sorted so my OH helped me to her house and I spend the night there with her on Weds and helped her with all the official stuff that has to be done yesterday.

I haven't had time to read the thread that I missed from Weds onwards but will try to catch up later.

In the meantime, my list for today now I am home again is as follows:
Feed the cat at least twice
Brush the cat
Sort and delete 10 emails
reply to emails
Clean bathroom sink
Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains
Fill WM and put on
Make sammys for OH lunch
[STRIKE]Put breadmaker on[/STRIKE]

Extras
make 2 phone calls on D's behalf
Ring vets - still not done
research dual fuel tariffs online
write 3 reviews
research new kettles!
Edge the second muslin cloth
Ring D and check how her day went
email R
compose letter to Care providers

I hope you all have a successful day flying. to all who need or want them.

Morning All

I've already been up for an hour and done one or two things. Flying wise though the WM & TD are both on, I've washed some dishes and sorted some clothes out. Just about to cook some pasta to make pasta salad for the kids' lunches and do some ironing.

Fantastic news for Zara and Soappie.

Hope mudbath's DS and Zoe's DS are okay

Hugs for Diva's friend, Lady-L, Toots and anyone else I may have missed or who wants one.

Have a good day all
