:jHI
I have really enjoyed this list. Lots of things I meand to do so now I have. My house is pretty clean but this has made it much simpler, great for someone like me with MS. Usually I am runinng about always thinking Imust get this done. The list helps as you think 'no Ill do it tommorow' when its on the list and concentrate on doing one room properly (I am a dab hand at half done jobs):rotfl:So thanks Pigpen, toots and everyone

I'll second that brodie1, I have no other excuse other than being crap at housework, or rather it's my least favourite thing, so this has been really good for me too.
Although I think my mum thinks I've gone slightly mad as when I took her shopping today she mentioned that she had washed her bathroom floor last night, I said I had washed mine too yesterday. 'How funny' she said 'what made you do it yesterday as well?' My response 'The list told me to!' :rotfl:

Shopping done. Have broken a nail so am trying to glue it back on

I'm not sure what time my friend is arriving tonight, so my plan is:

hoover upstairs
make sure spare room is acceptable
clean bathroom
make my bed
light fire
tidy kitchen
start supper

... it looks so easy like that :D

see you later...

BenW enjoy your hike - dont get lost!!!

toots xx

You cant get rid of me that easily!

Honestly though, it's a lovely walk and one I have been doing regularly for the last 30 years, so not very likely to get lost really. Anyway, Im back now and ought to get flying at least with the dinner as DH will be home soon and will want feeding I expect. And so do I after all that walking!

cyclingyorkie - WTG your DD!!! What a great acheivement! Some good news at last
Keys - smashed vodka - how appaling, I'd be in shock LOL!!
LW/Tooch/Poohb - you've done well today, can you give me some of your enthusiam as I've mislaid mine!!
Jinky - at sometime she will realise your not a push over! :rotfl::rotfl:
Soappie - glad you had a good sleep and feel refreshed
Special hugs to LL and Toots

Lots of other posts I've read and then with my oldtimers creeping up on me again I've forgotton!! LOL So love and hugs to all that need them.

Just in from work - DH has rung Barclays, basically they are finding a knew company to take over the training as they have a 'big pot' of money from access2trade. If they can't we could get rest of loan back under the consumer credit act of 1974, so I've read up today. So that's a releif as it wasn't just the money (though it was a BIG factor) but also the amount of studying/work DH has already done.

Having a celebratory drink - so help yourselves whilst your passing. Cheers everybody :beer::beer:

Triker

Cyclingyorkie That is fantastic news.

I too, know a few people with M.E. and also Lymes (which I'm recovering from) and I know just what a supreme achievement that your daughter has made.:T

This has put a huge smile on my face.... for you all. xxxxxx


Right, I bought a car today, I went for cheap (ish) and cheerful, adequate for my needs and its bought and paid for, no debt, no finance, nothing else to pay out for it. Basically my ebaying profits will pay for it when I can transfer them from paypal, I used a bit of my overdraft in the meantime.

I got a automatic Nissan Micra with very low mileage.:D So whilst I'd have loved all those super duper new people carriers I kept practical and responsible. Its MOTd until 2011 and taxed for 6 months. Supposedly good on petrol too, I'll test that out over the next few days.:D

I need to sell my old car now so will get a service done on it and bung it on ebay I think.

Very tired today, had a very late visit last night and didn't get home until after 9pm.

Glad its friday, need to get my bum in gear and get some flying done but having a rest first.

Piggers....sorry about DD1's friend, so very sad. xxx

I'll have a read and see what I can catch up with newswise and flying wise.

PenPen - not missing the removed smiley are you?

I am, as it goes I'm usually supportive of changes made on this site, but this one is nuts. Has anyone really ever been offended by a smilie Please say, as I've been told recently that I over use them, and have offended people (well one person ) in so doing

I have about 40 old broken cds to dispose of, if anyone knows a way to recycle I would be grateful for ideas.

Uses for old CDs :T I'm going to try the tealight holder one :j

Very excited I have finally listed my first book on amazon - I have a large box to work my way through but hope this helps with the decluttering and money coming in. Wish I'd done it before and not got rid of stuff via other avenues.

Dusty, will the money you make on this make it worth your while, over, for instance, Freecycle?

We got a lot done this morning so I took DD to the cinema (It's Complicated, with Meryl Streep - very funny :rotfl: )

Trying to finalise the Scout's Census :huh: See you later

Upstairs done (bar making my bed, which is the last bit.

Going to put the hoover away, hang out the washing, move the dehumidifier, make up the sofabed and put it away (I need to store the duvet in it when the spare bed is made up.

Hopefully I've got another half an hour to get things straight... I might even have time to go over the lists and see what I've done!:p

Hi everyone,

I am so pleased as typing this on my new to me laptop (its actually OHs old one but only 8 months old) he has bought himself a new one so very MSE for me :j

Took DS2 for his Options evening last night and after loads of discussion he has decided to take options at school rather than have day release to college...so he is taking photography,film studies and advanced ICT and product design as his tech( his dream is to be a Camera man)...just need to sort out some work experience now:eek:

Glad we got it sorted though:)

Babygroup was VERY busy today...lots of regulars then 10 newbies turned up...very unusual...but good for the group :j

Fantastic news...Cyclingyorkie...huge hugs to your DD xx

Happy Birthday to Miss Valli :T:T:T

Flying wise I have emptied DW WM and TD and refilled all 3

Need food so love to all xx
