Had my sign language course today. It is really interest but we have an exam in a couple of weeks :eek:

I knew I read that someone was doing a sign language course! Is it BSL level 1??? That's what I'm doing at the moment

Ummm Jinky... you quoted me then started ranting about men I think you were supposed to be replying to Carlsberg(hugs) as I'm not actually have man problems (unless you count the mortgage advisor - hint;))

We're waiting to here about a mortgage. We would LOVE to be able to buy a bigger house with a garden and more importantly it would be me and DH's first house together (as he moved into MY house... as I always remind him;):rotfl:) And hopefully we will be needing an extra bedroom soon:o:D

And the more important email I'm waiting for is about trying to find "someone who is very important to me"'s dad (who they haven't seen since being very little. I think it's going to be a long process but I have had a response to the email I sent saying it has been forwarded to someone else who may be able to help :j

I must do HHI at some point.... maybe a bit later;)

Sounds like your being kept busy Helen Jelly, hope all get better soon xx

Hve got the dog in and fed him. Need to do the dinner dishes, then S+S the kitchen and LR, then I can chill out....I WILL do some ironing tomorrow(unless the car automatically to the shops after dropping DD at school!!!!)

Whilst Facebook and this place where out of action I ironed everything except DHs work shirts. I still have to do those though or he wont have one for tomorrow, and before anyone suggests he should iron his own he works stupidly long hours in a job he detests so that I don't have to work full time, the least I can do is iron him some shirts and make his dinner regardless of what time he finally gets home tonight :kisses3:.

Greenbee I will have a look at my fabric collection and have a think. I am pretty sure I have some 90" thermal stuff somewhere which make good backs for blinds.

Smartie - Good luck :j:j:j Good luck (I think I've answered in the right order!!).

DS is at cubs - on the way there he told me he'd had pains at school today :eek:. I'll have to see how he is when he gets home. Why does it happen when DH has just left to work away until Friday???

Smartie12 - I have everything crossed for whatever it may be you're eagerly waiting for
MissHiggerty - well done on finishing your paper

My day has been good in that I haven't injured myself more. Ankle's holding up. I strapped it up tightly and didn't take the stick in the end and I coped, albeit by walking slowly. It's still quite swollen but only hurts if I move it in certain ways.

I did go out and do some more leaflets (650 done, another 650 to go) through doors and I found that if I step like THAT, the muscle up the outside of my shin doesn't half protest big time! So I don't step like THAT.

I have not flown but need to do a bit tonight as I have a meeting here tomorrow evening at 4pm so stuff needs to be tidy before I leave for work tomorrow. I have some salmon from the freezer defrosting for my dinner and I'm going to do the 10 minute ice trick on the ankle now with a soothing glass of white wine.

I am going to start again, while DD is at Brownies

If I return before 8 either on here or on FB you know what to do

mumofjusttwo

Valli great news.

Smatie yes Level 1. How far along the course are you?

Hello Folks! Today was focussed on faciliating the long-overdue cleaning of the lounge carpet. The lounge has never been so 'decluttered'! Apart, that is, from the bit around the corner of the alcove under the stairs. where a pile of stuff that's been there for at least six months is almost propping the staircase up!:o

It's not exactly gleaming but considering what a daft colour it is, how much use and abuse it gets it's as good as it's going to be. And if you take into account fuel to fetch and return a Rug Doctor, it was even cheaper than doing it myself.

I had aimed to do lots of sorting out in the 'dining room' (conservatory / office / dumping ground) but that's the one part of the house that I've yet to tackle since joining this thread - and most in need of attention. But the carpet cleaner was a very nice chatty man and I decided to bake some cakes for my boys. Did pretty well in the kitchen though (because I knew he'd need to get to the sink - motivation for clear worktops and degunked taps!)

Tuesday ~ Kitchen
Level One
[STRIKE]Declutter and mop/vacuum floor
Clear and wipe work surfaces[/STRIKE]
Level Two
[STRIKE]Wipe units and large appliances
[/STRIKE]Give one small appliance a good clean!
Wipe out the fridge and get rid of anything gross and slide the stuff that needs using now into your meal plan

Now deliberating what to bring back into the lounge. It looks so big and lovely withour the TV chest ! Another job application to do tomorrow so DH had better not expect me to pile everything back anytime soon!
