I wrapped my mum's thing up in bubble wrap & boxed them up until I decided what to do with them.

.....The unit doors are medium type of wood colour probably teak is the nearest though some have said beech, but I thought beech was light....

Had a quick look at the piccies - I think they're beech, birch is the light wood.

Sistercas, I hope everything goes well for your DH in hospital xx

Bitsy, I used to hate it when I missed my nap whilst DD and then DS had theirs earlier in the car too, so I know where you're coming from on that one. I used to open the windows and sing loudly to try to keep them awake ... dreadful Mummy I am

Just finished decluttering the lovely apple pudding leftovers I did in the SC so best get on - Pigpen has got us cleaning the kitchen and, believe me, it ain't pretty!

Afternoon all.

((((HUGS)))) to all who are in need of one today; healing vibes to each and every one of you who is poorly, and to loved ones who are poorly.

Flylady list was fun today - not. But the kitchen is now sparkling. I have to do pizza for dins tonight; I really CBA, but it's on the list, so I don't have a choice.

Busy day tomorrow, including a Dr appointment which I'm already stressing over, so if I don't post on the Daily tomorrow, it's just that I ran out of time.:o

I hope everyone's having as good a Tuesday as they can.

Could you use a clothes rail? They have them in charity shops here, or look out for any clothing shops that are closing down and see if you can get one from there? Or try freecycle?

Afternoon everyone.

I am so cold today as well, got 3 layers on. I have been on the phone to hosp toay as they said they would send an appt out for my son once his pins had been taken out of his leg. That was done nearly 2 weeks ago anyway I hav managed to get an appt for Thursday. Hopefully the consultant will let him go back to school.

Made another batch of carrot and lentil soup. Dinner will be leftover sausage casserole from yesterday with potatoes and broccoli. need to put another load in wm from my never ending pile. Hopingto make weetibix cake too & some Twinks hob nobs.

MSD - Thinking of you and your friends.
Sistercas - hope all goes well at the hosp fo your DH.
LW - hope all goes ok at the Dr's tomorrow.
Hester - Can't believe that the jobcentre would send someone to an office block that doesn't exist anymore. Think I would be getting frustrated with them too.
Rose - Welcome
Redruby - sounds like your new home is almost sorted.
Lowesy - thinking of you and your DH.
Bargainbird - hope your dd1 improves.
Tiredmum - Hope things get easier for you.

Hugs to anyone that needs or wants one. Enjoy the rest of your day. Take Care.

More stuff packed, sitting room is beginning to look like a charity shop before it opened, boxes everywhere.

I had been saving up the washing to do later in the week, but OH decided he wanted to pack bathroom stuff in the linen basket, so two loads done and drying on rads and airer, OH left a paper handkerchief in his jammy pocket.....bits all over everywhere.......The whites are in the machine for tomorrow.......I need to wash the bath towels, but will do them at the weekend and take them to the launderette to dry them.

Hair has been cut within an inch of its life, so will not need to go to the hairdressers for some while I sort out a hairdresser in the area.

I am beginning to feel rather tired. I fell asleep last night with a book in my hand. OH had to get up and put my light up......I insisted that OH give up at 4pm and sit down for the rest of the night.

Pizza, salad and cous cous for supper. I made an apple crumble for dessert, it will last for 2 - 4 days......I have to sort out something for supper the day we move in......I have some spag bol sauce, I will have to put some spaghetti and a saucepan where I can find them........, the sauce will reheat in the microwave.

OH has booked for us to go for Sunday lunch at the bowls club, Monday we will be eating on the run so to speak, I am packing cold meat and salad in the cool box and we will find somewhere to stop and eat it depending on what time we get away. We have a 6 hour journey to Berwick on tweed in front of us. I also need to be sure we have the kettle, tea, milk and sugar on hand for the removers.......

Give my mum a wave in Berwick csarina! :rotfl:
