    I have flown - I have taken a broken printer/scanner to the dump and the polystyrene and two bin bags full of shredding from work, as I was going. Which is very nice of me. Because we put out out waste paper for collection but next collection will be half term, so we have paper hanging around in the building for up to 4 weeks.
    See you later/Wednesday...

    Forgot to wish poohbear good luck at the vets. I went through the same with my old dog and a few weeks ago and I know how difficult this time is. Mine had several reprives right until the very end.

    Holding your hand for support.

    Thanks Fedup Mudbath jackywhizz too. The vet says we don't need to worry about poor old dog suffering and us not realising. She says it will be really obvious at the end. We had three days of no bowel control (yuck), but she seems okay now. It may have been the change of meds, and I thought it was the end, again.

    My HHC ended up being an hour or more. I have only just finished. DS2 has just vacuumed our room so Monday is finished Toots!!

    In my half hour challenge, I did the dishes, decluttered the worksurfaces, dewebbed the light fittings and cornices, I cleaned the worksurfaces, the hob and the microwave and made pasta for tea.

    Im off to do the tea dishes now and wipe down the front of the cupboards and the dining table. Then my kitchen and dining room will be presentable again.

    LR is ok, so I can then go back to concentrating on my room x

    Quite pleased with myself for first days effort. Also had sister over who gave the little ones room a quick tidy.
    5 loads of washing done. I only used the tumble dryer for 2 loads the rest has gone on the airer at the top of the house (3 floors). All the heat rises so it dries very quickly. Some of it ironed just a bit more to finish off tonight.
