Dusty she'll be back with you again before you know it right as rain, but how much? :eek: I thought Lily's £110 was bad.

Right been to work and done his house, no time for mine yet though, just decluttering some toast and updating my list, done a few bits. Bit disappointed with my NEXT order, the Boots I ordered for littley for xmas didn't even come in a box and they were £34 I'm not wrapping a plastic bag up, they have to be returned anyway cause she changed her mind the minute I pressed confirm....she wants ther black ones instead....but may buy them in the shop that way I can get a box.

Hi Dustykitten - yes, was weird, I woke up as the 'sunrise' activated 15 mins before the alarm sound went off, so I was watching the room get lighter. I actually felt human for a change....if that keeps up it will be worth the loadsamoney I paid for it!

I even had enough time to make myself porridge this morning

Managed to move all the furniture around in the girls room to make room for a storage unit to go in there from the play room... which has made space for me to get the dining table back out again :j Now I need to think of something to put on the top to protect the table when the girls are doing art/craft type stuff... I was thinking a piece of lino or something...anyone got any suggestions???

I finish work at 3 on Mondays... so am hoping to get the rest of the list crossed off and get the girls to do some toy organising (without stopping to play with stuff they forgot they had lol).

The weather is yuck and I am dreading having airers all round the house:rolleyes:

Hugs to all... will check back later and try and catch up.

Ah well...about that -:o hmmmmm... well what about the decorating? Dont tell me you have changed your mind:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: we need to get you to focus on one thing at a time and finish it so you can see where the improvements are!

I have a lampshade if its any use for you, I saw it on your list. Its a golden beige colour and threadlike. Hard to explain but can send it to you, let me know. That would be great - thanks for being an angel

I went to a carpet place today, picked one and man coming to measure up on tuesaday. Just wish I had the strength to do some furniture shifting as I'd get out front room done too.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Dont you dare start shifting furniture!!!!!! I paid the man that did the lounge carpet fro me a little extra and he brought someone with hime to shift the furniture - how about asking for that?

SGT I had just decided to email and check on you!!! Hope you are both doing ok xxxx

Dusty gentle hugs for Queen Victoria - hope she gets on ok at the vet - glad the others have returned - have you phoned the drains man yet?

Gemma YOU DID NOT FAIL!!!!!! Even though you maybe didnt complete the lists it doesnt mean you failed - I bet you did loads - this week post what you do and dont worry about the lists and I bet you will feel better about what you have achieved. (((hugs)))

hypno06 had a giggle at your 15yo's reaction - hope you have her trained to help and not just watch you!!!

embb :eek: hope they dont find asbestos honey - fingers crossed.
toochoosey take it slowly today - hope you feel better soon (((hugs)))

Afternoon all!

I am late today but I have spent all morning on the computer catching up with e-mails and doing important stuff like informing Housing Benefit that I have started work. I hate dealing with them - one year I received 193 letters from them. It nearly drove me over the edge!!!

I am going to do an hour in the living room and then let the chickens out of their pen for an hour so that they can scratch about in the sunshine. It's forecast heavy rain for tomorrow so they won't be doing any scratting about then! (They live in a roofed pen but I like to let them out so that they can pootle about looking for bugs and slugs in the yard). Then I will have another cup of tea and glance through my knitting mag which came this morning, and then it will be time for the second dog walk of the day.

I will find time for a fling boogie too. I feel guilty about putting stuff in the bin (although everything that can be recycled is recycled) but I am working on the premise that once it's gone it's gone and it ain't coming back in again in any way, shape or form :rotfl:I WILL have a clutter-free house, I WILL!!!

Happy flying, ladies. You are all amazing. Thanks for the motivation :beer:

Dusty - How Much :eek: It makes me realise that my vet is really, really, really reasonable. The op that BB had earlier last year as well as the biopsy only cost £107.00. Hope puddy tat recovers quickly.

The rain is hampering my floorboarding projects ~sigh~ the varnish is taking ages to dry and I can't do the next bit until this first bit is done....
