i've also managed to
- hotspot in bedroom (dh's beside table!!) - put a basket there now so that not everything ends up on the floor!!
- stripped all bedding and exchanged duvets for 1togs
- cleaned breakfast table
i am off to do a HHC now ...
i always gave blood on a regular basis - but am not allowed here for the next 6 months - guess they are worried i might carry a disease?!?! 'rolleyes'
Toots: thanks for the suggestions! i thought about it but will wait with that a bit longer. dh is struggling a bit atm with things in general. he's never been out of work for such a long time (3 months) and the additional worry with us emigrating and he can't provide for us (we are not struggling, we do have a savings pillow, small but existing!) - so i rather have him get on with his 1000s of little projects and being happy(ier); we just have to wait for him to get his electrical licence and for the year to start properly with jobs again - then things will get easier0 -
Firstly... congrats to Ragz :T
Just a bit of a list update for me....

Morning lovely flyladies,Juliejim - cheeky thing!! I think the cat was the only one whose routine didn't change!
Greenbee - attempts to clone me have always been unsuccessful!! But I did read back and see there is a lower case version of my name. :rotfl:
Jinkypinks -you made me blush... thank you poppet
Poppy -
Toots -
LadyL -you are a darling, thank you also *hugs*
Rosepink -I have LOTS of pots but they are all full of spring bulbs and my lilies and begonias etc already - these were earmarked for the front bank that my inlaws cleared and rediscovered last summer. It will eventually have your lavenders all over it with bulbs coming up through. As I said, my plan was just to throw them in anyway the first sunny day we get and let them fend for themselves! Let me know when you do yours and it will shame me, (hopefully) into doing mine.
Dusty - hope your son is well enough to enjoy his birthday today
ceebeeby - Your daughters sound just about normal to me!For all the welcome backs and especially to Jinks and LadyL for being so effusive! Love you all for thinking of me.
This is my absolute fave smilie having been a chanteuse in a previous existance...and it's purple.. I may be in love with it, is that wrong??
Toots darling, can I have it as my daily posting reward please as I can think of precious little occasion to use it otherwise!! :rotfl:
