Hi all, hope everyones ok:D. didn't have time to post yesterday as dp home and wanting attention lol!

Washing machine decided it didn't think much of damp clumpy washing powder (bottom of the box got wet) and spewed water everywhere so i can definately say the floors have had a good mop! Managed to unblock the tube (of said washing powder) and now dp has moved the sky box and sky isn't working properly either. Any body have any ideas? its on but when you go to tv guide it says schedule not available? been the same since it was moved.

Please will someone explain "normal" to me, so that I know what I should be aiming for?:D:rotfl:
I really am doing so much better following this thread, can I add my thanks to Pigpen, Toots ans Soappie; you have helped to make the Wolf's Lair a better place.:o

My 'normal' isn't the same as other people's normal!! I just do what I can manage on a particular day depending on how I feel. I also don't lift furniture ever!

Valli, have a lovely time tonight

Just about to put kids to bed but am pleased to say that I've done some of DH's filing (been putting it off I'm afraid to say), then want to wash up and just relax - my knitting is calling me I think!

Hi everyone

May I join now, half way through? I am not quite sure how the posting on the thread works, but I will print the list from the first post as a guide.

I have a day off tomorrow, so will try to do as much as I can, and then follow the list.

So far, today I have persuaded myself to tidy my threads and needles box and mend my coat (wanted to do it for at least 2 months now

Oh, and I kicked myself to bake a pumpkin cake (we grew loads of pumpkins this year and pumpkin soup is now coming out of our ears, so really have to use it up some other ways/ recipes).

I am not good at posting, I tend to read posts more, so I hope this is ok..
Thank you
