Hi everyone

I am so hopelessly behind this week, working an extra day and scrumping for apples yesterday means I have been playing catch up with the posts all the time :rolleyes:

I haven't posted as thought any comments would be out of date already! Needless to say huge congrats to Ali and hugs to everyone else.

Work this morning ut hopefully I will catch up tonight as m DN can't babysit tonight as she is off out with her mates so Miss A will not be bell ringning. Although with swimming Tues with school, water polo training on dry land yesterday, water polo tomorrow,, swimming lessons Sat morning, cubs swimming gala Sat afternoon and sleep over Sat night I thin it would be a good idea for herto have another night off tonight!

Hope you all have a good day and I will catch up from pg 18 later

jassa, valli discovered that you can sell them on ebay for shedloads to people with a ... specialist interest.

have done no flying today. sorry flypeeps.

EEEK! Yuck?? Still, it would be one way of tackling the problem! I stupidly forgot to count how many pairs of shoes went back under the bed, but the storage boxes glide open now and DH says it's brill that he doesn't keep stepping on stilleto heels all the time!

Morning Ladies!:j

I think it has finally stopped raining here, still cloudy but looking better already, so WM on in a mo.

Yesterday managed to do very little apart from necessary paperwork and dailies. Also renewed my home insurance after exhausting comparison sites, but got 130 pounds off (keyboard doesn't do pound sign so might be an American version...) Result! :money:

Will tackle more stuff in hall and landing today, and bathroom.

Soappie congrats on completion DS and DiL and FLOORBOARDS. You finished them! Finishing anything is always very difficult for me, rather start on a different project than finish anything..

Have a good day everyone

I havent caught up with all of the thread yet....sorry, but Im hoping everyone is well. Love hugs n vibes to those who need as necessary/required.

My 15 year old cousin who lives in my village is going in for another operation today. He was born with a cleft palette (sp) which was fixed when he was a baby but as he has grown his lip has started to pull back, up towards his nose, so he is in today and will be operated on at some point this afternoon i think.

Anyway, Operation Underbed is almost complete, presents are wrapped and in the back of the understair cupboard which i cleared out last week

Im gathering all my ebay stuff into a box for the minute and once my declutter the house mission is complete, I will look at listing stuff, I still have plenty of time before xmas! But it just takes toooooooooooo long to list and Ive better things to be doing.

On a brighter note, MY CAR IS FIXED!!!! :j And my bank account is finally defrosted!! (having previously been frozen... :rotfl: - No? Ok never mind....:o)

Anyway, I really should get ready for work.....Im due to leave in 2 minutes and am not dressed....

:eek:

Morning lovelies! :wave:

It's chilly this morning, hung some washing out, fed the cat, sorted littleys various forms and deposit for Thurston trip (they gave us a whole 4 days to find £50 wasn't that nice, I had it but it was gonna be used for something else) put some stuff back in the utility where it belongs, put stuff in the recycling box, loaded last couple of bits into the DW and switched it on, made breakfast, made beds, found a pen, put more bits in the WM - not enough for a switch on yet, got a bag of stuff to take upstairs, moved the outside bin back to it's rightful place, de-pooped the litter tray and made 2 x brews. Oh to have a morning when I can get up and not have to do anything.

Work shortly then straight on to DS1's to wallpaper his fireplace wall, come back then do the bathroom, it shouldn't take long.

Jo you've inspired me, what a good idea to have all the xmas pressies at the back of the understairs cupboard, why didn't I think of that it makes perfect sense, they will then be out of the way, out of my wardrobes and no-one (except the cat who has a 'thing' for bags) will ever think of looking under there. Genius! :cool:
