    Morning All :hello:

    I am a bit late but just getting the chance to get on (am at work).

    Hugs to everyone who needs them, this thread goes really fast, I only get to have a quick skim through.

    I am going to try and complete Monday's list before I go (Don't laugh) to bingo with my friend. I only go when DH is dayshift and I enjoy it.

    Not sure how I will get on with Tuesdays but am sure a few HHC's when I get home will help!

    AM off to get lunch now, hope to catch up soon.

    Take Care

    Miss Higgerty - so far i've managed to do NO studying today. I'm going to make myself do an hours study between 12 and 1. I keep thinking if I get these last assignments in then when i'm not working, cleaning etc my time really will be my own instead of having them hanging over me. I'm going to do 12 till 1 and 130 until 230 and see what that achieves. Please, if anyone hears me mention another course can you tell me NO WAY!!!!

    Right, five minutes until study time xx

    Mudbath I have been absolutely shocking myself, and am going to get a grip and join you!! Thanks for the motivation.

  • Ok, back from a lonesome HHC :D

    I...

    finished todays list - star please Toots
    emptied and reloaded DW
    S&S kitchen

    Can I ask you lovely ladies - what do you use to clean/wipe down painted woodwork? I always use polish and whilst cleaning the hall today it occurred to me that its probably not a great thing to use a) cos I always use too much of it and it seems quite wasteful and b) some of it ends up on the floor, like just now and I nearly slipped A over T :rolleyes:

    Oh, and my postie's just been and still no dvd :mad: :mad::mad: Off now to type a stroppy email.....
    I need direction to perfection...

    Afternoon all, still haven't caught up from yesterday but I'll get there.

    Cold and wet today, one load of washing spread round indoors.

    Today's list is done. I got a new handbag and purse yesterday because the old ones just weren't right for me. A zip was broken on the bag but it wasn't worth having it mended because the size/space just wasn't working for me. So I've got new and I really like it.

    Hope everyone's OK. I'll try to catch up a few more pages while dinner is cooking.
