Mornin' all.
I'm not up with the thread as the lappy has had a viral wobbly and we have had to teset it. I did however spot the ecard info too late just like Kaz - sorry LadyL.
The lounge was cleaned on the due date (though not quite to star level I'm afraid) and the old furniture is outside awaiting a bulky collection today. My new furniture was delivered yesterday - don't know if I really like it, but it's too late now:D But it is very comfy.
Off to worj in a few minutes so wll be flying from about 5pm with a bit of luck - though I may stop off at the pound shop on the way home to get a few bits.
Hav a good day everyone.0 -

I just don't like it day in, day out. I'm solar powered. It seems everytime I've got home from work just recently, I've got wet waiting for the bus then it's been so dark I've had to have the lights on at 2.30pm each afternoon. I do the dysoning and then find, when we do get a sliver of light, that I've missed loads of dog hairs in the corners because I just can't see them!
Also, I'm a closet weather geek.... I blame it on my time working for the Met Office....
Boddy - that's worrying about things of your Mum's missing - particularly the necklace. Have you put in a formal complaint? I think you said the other day they have new staff. do you ever see anything of other visitors? Maybe you could have a word with them to see if anything of their relative's has also gone missing.
AnW's big hugs - Christmas is a difficult time occasionally, particularly when loved ones are missed xxx But I agree with Kaz- maybe this is DH's way of letting you know he approves of the tree....
lil-me - liked the pix!
Colder this morning and no rain. May it stay that way for a couple of days!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Well I suppose a week or 2 of having layins til 9ish by DS was going to stop at some point, I just wasn't prepared for 6.45 this morning, and he had his first bad dream, he was sobbing and took quite a while to calm him down!

DW loaded, gonna to feed the wm too.
Catch up later, TF x0 -
Well I've made a dent in littleys room, spent the last half hour hanging clothes back up in her wardrobe :rolleyes: for some reason she decided to sort out her DVD's the other week and they got left so I've piled all them up too, I can see some floor at least, she says she's gonna sort the rest after school.
WM is on with teenies stuff and he's now gathered another pile, to say he always looks scruffy he goes through enough clothes lol still, he's got new stuff for xmas so he'll look smart for a couple of weeks at least.
I've S&S'd the kitchen and put the rubbish out, loaded the DW and looked at my bed but decided to leave it till later. I've fed Lily.
Going to sort my workbag out now then head off to work
have a nice day folks! :hello: x0 -
