    Off i go..............
  • Hello ladies!

    I'm going to do my DD's room today - but it looks surprisingly good in there (Hmm.... something wrong, surely?) so I'm hoping it won't take too long.

    Must also get on with my own list of extras. The time has come to start my Christmas lists with a vengeance: o/line shopping starts here (probably with that brilliant Thornton's offer). DH and I are going shopping in the Big Bad City tomorrow, without DD who is at her orchestra, so I need a list....

    Must also do some studying later today. Next paper looms.

    Hugs to all & catch up later when I'm about to start a HHC...

    Morning Ladies
    Nothing much going to get done today as off out in half hour to pick up friend for a day of shopping. After two weeks of flying the house is now looking really presentable and am hoping I can keep it like this. Have got one room which is a total hot spot and need to try and concentrate on that next week. Have got a huge old tv stuck in there which doesnt work and there is no way I can shift it – am hoping I can get OH and son to do something about that this weekend.
    Hoping none of you are badly affected by the weather conditions. No time to read back but good vibes being sent for all that need.

    Jinky - Hope you are catching up on your sleep :rotfl:

    STAR FOR THURSDAY PLEASE TOOTS
    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun ;)

  • Good morning! Ug I'm tired today, managed to get to my Bible meeting last night which was brilliant but was v tired after, then woke up at five past six, then DH's alarm went at 6:30, then we both woke up at five to seven, then he left at 7:30, and then I dropped off again for a bit! Feel I need more sleep!

    Anyway, enough of that.

    Mudbath sorry about the car, what happened?

    Hugs Jill and Carlsberggal and Lady Liberty (you make me laugh referring to DH as gorgeous, glad I’m not the only one who thinks so!)

    Sexy, hugs, try to get some rest if you can

    Madcatgirl, how wonderful about your Dad, glad he’s doing so well, and enjoy your visit!

    Jinky glad you made it safely! Enjoy yourself in your new place!

    Twoflower, the milky bar kid sounds wonderful! Did you have a nice time in London?

    FFP, how lovely to see you! Wishing you well on your campaign to keep the school open

    Pigpen, when I had verrucas as a girl, we used to stick a slice of garlic on over night – using a plaster to hold it in the right place. Or banana skin is supposed to be good too. Might take a few nights, but it really works!

    Pigpen and Diva –really like Chandeliers and Chocolate

    Hugs Kezlou, hope you are feeling better soon, sounds pretty rough xx

    Embb, glad to hear your horrible neighbour has gone!

    Am not going to do any flying this weekend or on Monday, so need to do some today. Also need to make that blasted chilli, as i didn't do it y'day! If I get all the ingredients out I might feel less daunted by it.

    It's so dark, I've got all the lights on already!

    HHC @ 10:15 if anyone is interested in joining me?
