You think that's bad? When I first came to live with Mr LW, the lawnmower lived in the kitchen!!:eek: A situation that was very swiftly remedied, you may be sure!:D

When I first came to live with Mr Triker....he had a motorbike in the kitchen and numerous engines, exhausts etc in the other rooms. I didn't mind though.:)

Pigpen - Male cats definitely worse. Mine disembowels things all over the back door mat (nice welcome home!) and brings in frogs and squirrels as well as the usual furries and feathereds. His sister has never caught anything at all.

Sarah - fingers and toes crossed for safe delivery at 39 weeks!

Valli - For my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary we bought them a digital photo frame and loaded it with pictures of all the family 'through the ages' - they loved it.

My list is very dot-to-dotty. Hoping some will get joined up to make a star later! However have done loads of filing and made all those calls and written all those letters that I have been putting off for ages so feel OK about this week so far. :D

Also found (in attic of which more later) long purple velvet evening dress to wear to a ball later in the month. Can I wear red shoes and a red lace shrug with it? I think so, but wonder if people will think it a trifle eccentric...;)

Valli

nice ideas.
They're not really what you'd call gardeners though...
there's been an ongoing battle over the rhubarb - the only plant I am absolutely certain they could both identify :rotfl:

MY HOUSE IS CLEAN EVERYWHERE
5 stars in total needed your TOOTSIENESS or SAPONIFICACEOUS ONE

I CBA with anyone this week. Everyone I speak too seems to get on my nerves. I cannot believe the whole world has turned into irritants, who seem to think the fault lies at my end (huh, as if :A!!!). Even my kids continue to drive me demented, after the Hairspray incident earlier on in the week, every time they're in the same room together, they burst into song, "GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE", have told them there is a surgical procedure which will fix them, which will involve an implement not dissimilar to Valli's new mule!

Rach - nana vibes being sent your way
Pigpen - I'm 200+ miles further north that where you need to be - and I'm a miserable coo today anyway!
Rosepink - check if you defo need MOT certificate, last time I went I was told they have all the details on the computer now

Off to grumpy corner zone again x

The first time I went to mr sandys house (he shared with 3 other blokes) all the furniture in the sitting room was pushed to the edges and there was a squash court marked out on the carpet with masking tape and the TV remote was araldited to the side of the television:rotfl:

I have been following this thread but am struggling to do it all. Maybe I am just lazy:o
