    Hi guys :wave:

    I know I had a list somewhere *rubs chins* anyway, I've done the whole of the downstairs and to the top of the stairs since I got in from work, wanted to go shopping but littley wanted to play out so seeing as I was bored out of my head yesterday (stoopid cold, head wanted to body didn't) I thought I'd use my time and energy effectively, you shoulda seen the muck in the mop bucket O.M.G.! :o Will claim relevant stars on Friday save toots/soappie doing them here and there for me. Cleaned all the doors both sides too, wipe away those germies :cool:

    ((((((((((hugsallround)))))))) I know there's a few of you I've felt for today xx

    Sandy I flick a clean damp cloth over my fabric lampshade, just done it now, it can smear though so be super careful.
    milliejo The cold I've caught is what everybody else in the house started with first, unfortunately almost 3 weeks later it's still hanging around them all, it's a bit nasty this one I have to say.

    ETA: Found list

    pack-ups
    make beds
    empty DW
    reload DW

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Thats shocking valli. I think ours is going to be a few weeks because the funeral directors are "very busy at the moment". Nothing like that though *shakes head*
    I need direction to perfection...

    .

    That's absolutely appalling. I cannot believe that this was said to a bereaved relative...

    Not the right time, I'm sure, but is someone going to make a complaint?

    Hi all,

    Still not doing so good this week.

    I have got DS2 to vacuum the living room, DS1 to clean some mould off some walls and all the beds changed and washing hung out side to dry.

    Two visits to medical appointments and a short walk with the pup.

    And the internet went off and we were told we had a power surge at midnight so off to buy surge protector tomorrow.

    The boiler is not working properly and is chucking out loads of black oily soot all over my kitchen floors, worktops and my pans that are hanging up.

    Plumber is coming tomorrow to sort it out.

    Sorry this seems like a moaning post.

    Oh, I dropped the lid of my food processor and they are now obselete so I can't do half the things I want to do.


    And apparently I was told the wrong time of day to take my steroids and that is why I haven't been sleeping properly and unable to get the energy to do much during the day.

    So, tomorrow I will be up bright and cheerful as tomorrow is another day! :)
