I understand that my christmas cards didnt arrive on time with Lady Liberty so I apologise to all for that! And to all the additional inconvenience I may have caused you LL.

Jo Sweetie, it wasn't a problem....I just forwarded them on when I got them, I know some got through, so hopefully everyone will have them soon xx

I have a dilemma now........KH-Ex has decided that maybe I can bring DD down here next week for a couple of days:cool:.....only problem is.......train for me there and back and her and me there and back is coming to £80:eek::mad:

Whereas the following weekend its only gonna be around £30 if I book now......I kinda feel after all the shouting I did that I should go this weekend, but ..........

HELP!

Jinks Have you asked DD what she wants to do? Is the following weekend going to interfere with or make her too tired for School......I think on this occasion personally I would go with this week....in case he changes his mind....I know it's a huge difference in cost, but maybe worth it this time. I only know vaguely your circumstances but is there any chance she will come & live with you........I think you said it was more difficult with DS because of exams but at 8 perhaps worth thinking about? I know you won't take this personally if you think I'm talking !!!!......but you did ask love you really xx

well when I had my 'revelation' my old (bought in a sale and used daily); cutlery got taken to work for the cutlery drawer there and I now use, daily, the cutlery received as a wedding gift (1st wedding!) which was saved for 'Sunday best'
I now do not have BEST anything
life's too short (IMO)

Dh and I took the tree down tonight as I am sick of broken baubles and I want to clean my windows:o Need to change the sofa covers tomorrow night and attack the ironing basket. Cant bear to take the wreath off the door yet though.
Have decluttered a box of chocs ( with help from Dh i might add) and made gift tags out of my Xmas cards, very OS.

HAven't had a drink tonight so hopefully haven't embarassed myself:rotfl:

lil_me

:rotfl: @ the worms response, sorry, I've disinfected my pestel & mortar don't worry
Poppytime I agree, if DD says that you know something isn't right. Doesn't make it any easier for you ((hugs))
tooch hope you feel better tomorrow
stef welcome back, what a lovely thing to be doing, good luck with the house I am sure it is not that bad x
Ishtar ((squish hugs)) for you and your parents, I have a WIL who used to do that (witch in law) I now just don't see her if possible
soappie KF dump stuff here too, WIL was supervisor there before she cleared off abroad. Fast food places if they follow guidelines & are not careful can have a large bin of food waste a week.

Welcome to newbies & welcome back some familiar faces, always gets busy here this time of year with new leaves etc

Tuesday list done woooooot I just did the windows, cleaned the radiator, tv unit etc too :j:j:jI did all coats etc when they finished school, second star please :j:j:j

Oh & bad pigpen making me clean the sofa then I get a call....8.30pm on a bank holiday to say my new ones will be here on Wednesday afternoon :j:jweather dependant..they are based in Wales...

Burried in bills/accounts, trying to get old bills settled before the Nude Rear comes in......but the money ain't quite elastic so choosing carefully....think it might be a 'finish tomorrow' job.

Sorry I've not caught up, I'm a feeling a bit better and have been working this evening. Have also had a bath which is great, and DH rubbed some lotion on my itchy itchy dry back - such a relief not to itch!

I'm so pleased I cleaned the bathroom thoroughly before we left, it was great coming home to a sparkling bathroom. Going to be working on the rest of the place this week, and DH has promised to help tackle moldy bits.

I've folded up and put away most of the washing we did while away, it's so nice to be all caught up and not have any washing to do.

Night night everyone, I promise to catch up in the morning. DH has to go out and price up a potential job (praying he gets it) so I can have the computer most of the morning!

Good grief!
Just checked laundry basket - DD has put the jeans in she has worn today (only) and then only since she got back fornm dancing.
They have been turned the right way out, shaken and hung on the maiden...
muhahahahahahaha
I am NOT as green as I am cabbage-looking!
