  • Hugs and good health vibes for Mudders and her son and for Triker's friend too x

    Have had a quick tidy round and wash up. Am going to get up a stepladder now and wash down the walls in the kitchen so that they can be painted - think it will take about 1.5 hours as must move things as I go.

    See you all later x

    NO STARS for me today - Room of Doom still beating me!

    The poor room is trying to be too many things - it has my two wardrobes in it (one I couldn't open until today because of the books piled in front!) so it could be one of those posh dressing rooms do you think?? ERM NO - it also has a x-trainer, power plate machine (brill for testing fillings), a bookcase, a computer table (no computer but 2 printers), a table for doing sewing on (LOL), fold up bed, loads of teaching resources/paperwork (I haven't taught my own subject for nearly 2 years and only do very occasional supply), all the paperwork/research for freelance project management work/jobs I've done for various organisations over the last 5 years, crafty stuff, decorating stuff, step ladder, clothes airer, a 2 drawer filing cabinet and a load of debris that I can't quite reach to identify. Oh, and a bar stool.

    BUT, I can confirm that the carpet in there is green!

    Good grief

    I went to put a cardi on as I am somewhat cold (and I already have thick tights and slippers on - talk about glamour) anyhoo, DS came home.

    And I am getting colder.

    So I wander to kitchen

    AND THE BACK DOOR IS WIDE OPEN.

    *screams silently*

    ETA *nothing serious* vibes for your friend Triker

    Are you all sitting comfortably?

    Well.. I just took Tiddles to the quack.. she has this thing on her knuckle of her middle finger which is gradually getting bigger and she says is sore.. anyway I felt rather a fraud taking her as it looks like nothing... and she has to have an operation to remove it.. It isn't anything serious but will get bigger and is a chance of infection... and I was right.. it is a cyst on the tendon.

    Flying wise.. I put the recycling out and OH loaded unloaded and reloaded the DW.. I decluttered a cheque from the insurance into my bank account.
