    S/S all weekend so did'nt get any more stars - boo hoo LOL!!

    DD2 friend died a week or so ago (18) and it's the funeral thursday, so DD coming up from Uni and I'm going with her. Very sad as was unexpected, we've known her since she was 5, used to stay at ours loads when they were younger.

    DH 40 (my toyboy!!) at the weekend, having a 'do' saturday so house will be spotless, don't want all his workmates et al thinking I'm a mucky begger!! Got a suprise for him on his bday (the sunday) but he has no idea. So have lots to do and working full time, won't be on here much as it's tooooooooooo distracting!!!

    A xx

    Poohbear - terrible question, where is the town hall? I generally stick to oxford rd /wilmslow rd (around uni of really). I'm curious now, why??

    It was a silly question really. DD lost her mobile somewhere near there yesterday and the guy who found it works somewhere near. We don't know where it is either:) I don't know what I thought I could have thought of for you to helpwith to get it back. Fried brain here. :) Thanks anyway for replying to me.

    holly I am sorry you didn't get the job. That means you are available for a better one :)
    carlsberggal Sorry to hear about DDs friend. It must be very difficult for all of you right now. Loads of hugs

    Todays list

    DD has vacuumed hall and living room. I swept stairs as we don't have any carpet on them. Nearly finished but will go back to do some more now.

    Queen Victoria is home. She is not amused by the buster collar and keeps removing it - this is going to be a long 10 days.

    Hi guys :wave:

    Dusty is Queen Victoria back with you yet?
    Hi Greenbee :hello: I seem to have missed where you are, was it Florida? I could have sworn you said you were going next month :confused::rolleyes: @ me

    Holly Sorry you didn't get the job, but I'm a firm believer in 'wasn't meant to be' and the right job is still out there waiting for you x

    Toots hope they've sorted your tube lovely x oh and they more than likely WILL find Asbestos, my kitchen ceiling had to be replaced a few years ago and I'm sure he said the ceilings will be alright as long as you don't disturb them :rolleyes: we've ripped two down already. I'm not bothered what they find it's the mess and upheaval I'm dreading.

    Need to find my list so I can cross a few more jobs off, not cleaning jobs mind you, errands and such :rolleyes: been to the Vets and she's happy with Lily's stitches/wound/healing so they're coming out on Friday woot!

    ETA: crossed posts with you Dusty lol I know what you mean with the collar thing, they're a nightmare, I take Lilys off now when she's in the house and we're in so I can catch her if she starts to pick.

    MadMayFly (((hugs))) for your 'early retirement' - think of it as a chance to do some of the things you have been putting off! I am glad it wasnt too traumatic last week. Good luck with the de-cluttering.

    hex I hope you had a productive day after your slow start - I hope you get loads of easy profitable work to allow you to do your projects - I think you should name each project after what it is going to buy so it might spur you on - this business proposal could be crocuses???
    ginga babe - never too late - just jump in and get started - have you been with us before - your name sounds familiar? Welcome to the madhouse - hope you have fun!!!
    Dusty oh poor wee moggy - must have been a bad cut - hope she gets home ok - what a price for doing it though (hugs) and gentle cuddles.
    Miss H I am so proud of you for getting stuck in - No you wont ever let it get that bad again!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:
    Eltee Happy 21st to your Ds tomorrow - hope he has a great day - you were a child bride remember!!!
    Scared1980 you can buy the wipeable stuff by the metre - you know the stuff they make table cloths from - or would that not be thick enough.
