Better have a venture into the loft and see because it is from the ceiling down

If there's no obvious breach there, how about a missing brick or some broken pointing on the outside?

Good luck with your new jobs Soappie - all the best in this regard - I don't think I would mind cleaning now for a few hours a week and take pride in how it looked and how much easier and better it got each week and cleaner and shinier

Thank you!

Back to the Italian Job.... it is flylady related after all - they declutter a few million pounds :rotfl:

I'm getting there. Midway through the budget/meal plan, this is taking absolutely forever. I did manage to get my NY resolution of paying noone an interest/credit charge off to a good start. Went to get the DW emptied and refilled again, I am pleased I did as I had left a ring on, was only low but phew that could have been a problem. I think I might grab some supper, then carry on a bit. I need to get the dining room floor vacuumed before the boys go to sleep. Going to finish sorting the lizards out.

Afternoon all
Last year nephew brought his GF and mum asked her
'Do you eat things or are you vegetarian?'

sis and BIL were asked
'Have you parked?'
(all of us cracked up as we all had visions of floating cars tethered to the house like hot-air balloons!)

and a L-O-N-G conversation about carrot cakes as the GF didn't know they had carrots in. She still doesn't believe me about cheese in cheesecake either.

Wonder what the afternoon/evening will bring?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It sounds like it might be a bit like THIS :rotfl:

No time to go back thru it all now but just want to say Ladyl hope that all works out with your arrangement. If you ever need to vent my ear is available and understand what you are going through on the KH front.

Not much flying done but have sat down with pen and paper and written down all debts etc ready for DT time tomorrow at 11.30am - any positive vibes gratefully received.

Emptied DW and that is about it

Apologies to all that I cant reply to posts - cant go back and read it all again and my memory aint what it used to be :rolleyes:
