    Hello everyone! Just got in from the hospice which was lovely because a group of school children came and sang carols. I just loved it!

    Spotty, dotty, potty stripy dog was allowed off the lead again this morning. She was soooooo happy but I do wish she didn't run round like a spotty lunatic! She's sleeping well now after eating the doormat - what was that about!

    I'm going to tidy up a quick 7 things in every room and then go and get the children from school. They're going to my mum and dad's for tea because DH wants to take me shopping for Christmas. Problem is there isn't anything I want so not sure how successful it's going to be. Maybe something will jump off the shelf at me (and probably break knowing my luck!!):rotfl:.

    Right, onwards and upwards. Hugs to all xx
  • HH spent just tackling HOTSPOT from hell. Now have pile of filing, charity shop etc. Don't you just wish that sometimes you had'nt started something?

    Very productive day, I must have gone a bit too fast on my tesco online shop as I've ended up with 3 boxes of Stella.

    Off to the bottle bank now as I'll have a load more to dispose of tomorrow.

    Not had a very good day with the cat today – spent all morning following him around cleaning up where he has been ‘spotting’ and found a few with blood icon9.gif Subsequent visit to the vets where he has been prescribed anitbiotics, anti inflammatary and antistress tablets. Been a nightmare getting them down him. That was followed by a visit to pet shop to buy litter tray and litter etc etc. So far he hasnt gone in there but fingers crossed he will get the idea.
    Called into Mr T on way home to get some more bits off my Xmas list and delivered the last of the Xmas cards on my way home
    The magic pixie then had to clear the mass destruction left by OH in the kitchen after making his own breakfast – dont think he knows what clearing away after him is :mad:

    Toots – not got that undersink cupboard done yet but tackled a major clear out that I have been wanting to do for ages. Have cleared my ‘old kitchen’ which had turned into a dumping ground for loads of stuff. OH has taken an old tv that wasnt working to the rubbish tip, have found homes for two printers, loads of paperwork been sorted and filed away and sorted through a box of pc stuff inherited from uncle when he passed away. Washed and disinfected the floor and have now put the cat litter tray there so ........ please can I substitute this for the oven this week

    PLEASE - TUESDAY ALL DONE TOO :j:j

    Diva – hope your toothache will get better soon

    Cup of coffee now and off for a HHC at 3 if anybody wants to join me

    Hugs to all that need one

    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun ;)

    Had a cuppa
    Need to put a few bits away

    Not much flying done yet but I guess wrapping was at least on the list.
