    LIST FINISHED for living room, had to go up to the caravan to do some measuring to get the old awning adapted so didn't get the hall done.

    CAN I HAVE MY SECOND STAR PLEASE:A
    DP is officially a nugget, he knew I was clearing the decks in the kitchen but as always leaves stuff in there :rolleyes: now he wants to know where the scrap of paper with scribbled writing on is as it's his wiring diagram for one of his cars :mad: tough, stop leaving your parp in the kitchen.

    True to form the children have trashed the LR I'd tidied when they got in, so will have to do that again before bed. Just had a shower, found my shirt for tomorrow, skirt or trousers will depend if I can find my boots as I forgot to buy myself some tights/stockings.....these lily whites aren't going on show anywhere...think I best make packed lunches etc tonight so I'm not needing to get clarty in the morning before the meeting. Belle has eaten again today, yes first time in ages but a relief she had 3 worms and a locust, so she must just have a really slow metabolism as she's coping fine on it. It's just so hard work and worrying having such a rare little lizard for a pet, noone else seems to keep them anywhere in the UK so noone to get advice from, something I won't be doing again!

    Ok, packed lunches, tea, hair, bed? Oh must put DW on too.

    PS Triker I'd probably freeze them for another days cooking, my oldest would make the mango into a Mango Lassi as he LOVES that
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Some people take their sofa cushions off and find money, or a treasure map, or strings of pearls or Uncle Cyril's long lost will.

    My haul?

    Two toffee wrappers, a dead snail :eek:, 3 pencils (two without leads) and a biro, and one of those keys you used to get on tins of sardines..... :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    We don't even eat sardines! (DH hates them). And I only took the sofa apart very recently....
    I knew whose post this was as soon as I read about the snail -I rememberr the chrysalis in the fridge - and the thought still makes me smile...

    We did get snow at work today and it was enough to lay on the grass and some other areas but, thankfully, it was too wet to do anything to the roads :D No snow down here so my recycling and rubbish were collected. It is getting very cold again though - and my arm is not happy about that :rolleyes:

    gotnodosh - hugs

    hellsbells - great news; so pleased they are starting the statementing process

    I feel out of the loop this week :( both with all you lovely people and all the flying! But I don't think I'll catch up with either til the weekend. Stayed late at work tonight to finish some bits and didn't get home til 7.45 - eeek out the house for work over 12 hours! On a positive note I managed to lead a shortened lunchtime walk (as long as I wear my proper walking shoes my ankle is doing well). DH sorted his own dinner and I cooked myself a gorgeous aubergine and chick pea curry - really healthy and I'm now stuffed :D. DH and his mate are watching the footie and I'm tucked up in bed with the laptop.

    I will fly soon, promise, just enjoying a quiet evening to myself, which I think I need more!
