    Wednesday ~ Living room and other reception rooms! ALL DONE TOOTS:T:T:T - please may I have a star.

    I also took all the recycling and following on from someone's great example yesterday (sorry I can't remember who:o), I have decluttered the lawn of 8 weeks of offerings from the dogs. I should be able to keep up with it now. Ginger cake in the oven. Squirrels is from 6-7 - we're making lion masks and then I shall watch tv and iron whilst everyone else is at Cubs. I also need to make dinner - tuna empanada.

    Hugs to those who need them - sorry to hear about Reggie - I know how hard it is to lose a dog. Have a good evening, everyone.

    Well I decided to get on with it and not sit around. Ex is in hospital for a few days from what I can gather. Not spoken to Ex MIL yet, I would think she will have gone to see him as she works at the hospital. Oh well, let his family deal with him for a change.

  • Hi Flygang,

    There was no flying done at all yesterday as decided that an evening off anything much was in order to get over being a year nearer to 50 - so nice yummy risotto, bubbly and CSI - what else do you need?

    Now, home from slaving and the kitchen is a tip :eek: - HHC at 6pm anyone? and several more tonight are in order methinks! :D

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
