DD and DS1 off school yesterday and today (inset) so have been flying by remote control.
DD(14) is such a sweetheart and keeps supplying warm drinks and things in between washing all bedding and deep cleaning her room. :smileyhea
Thanks so much for the kind words Toots, you are so lovely and warm and it is very much appreciated :Ttoottifrootti wrote: »lemanie - i will take back everything i aid if you join in with the peg thing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you sound a bit cheerier today and thats brilliant news from the breast clinic - the 8th is pretty good - you just have to be a very good patient between now and then and be careful what you eat and get rest (((hugs)))

As for the peg thing (Mine have to be matching on each garment and are hung by size and you MUST put the line away afterwards, even in the rain!), well I must admit that I too have many "special" habits and OH ignores/doesn't notice many of them.:D That is until he had to do everything himself last week and they all leapt onto his radar and nearly blew his fuse.

Rose glad you're feeling better today
Finished HHC a bit early as did loads and then wore myself out!
In that HHC, I:
dusted everywhere
tidied LR floor and kitchen floor
hoovered all floors
tried to deweb by throwing a cloth at the cobwebs!
tidied sofa a bit
Phew, the place looks a lot better now! The floor was really messy and needed a hoover desperately! I need to do the bathroom and more in the kitchen but going to have a rest for a while.
How did you get on Hex?
Oddjob nice to see you, how are you?
Hugs Serena
Mudbath hope Stripes is ok
What a shock about Ricky Whittle being arrested, they are going to decide this afternoon if he will be allowed to dance tomorrow."Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."

Afternoon all
Did all the bedrooms on Wednesday and I haven't got any other rooms in this house to substitute (no study or utility room). Don't know if that makes a full week
Hope everyone's Ok. Bye.0
