Utility room is now spotless (except the floor, which needs scrubbing once I've done the rest of the house and don't need to go in and out any more.
Some poor bloke has been sent by his wife to collect the paving stones, so is going to get a good workout carting 20 or so of them down the drive to his car one at a time...
Hope your mum and Toots are behaving themselves Miss A:D

Helen... if you fancy a trip down the A34, I still have some slabs left, as the person who came only took 12. There are 9 whole ones and about a dozen half ones left...
I also have some large flints if anyone wants them for edging flower beds or making a rockery... and a skip full of rubble, seeing as the skip company didn't bother to collect in on Wednesday...0 -
But there is NO point filling in a job application form for Morrisons because they're not setting on NOW - byut if any vacancies DO come up they won't know my dear boy is interested, will they?
*rolleyes*
His mother is also interested as she has favourite phrases. One is 'lunch will be provided' and another is 'staff discount'
If your local one is in Staveley, my DB and SIL both work there (47 years combined service in the same store between them I think) so if you wanted a word putting in, I'm sure he'll oblige. He started there at 16 stacking shelves before they opened and has trained many, many students who mostly seem to love him. Still not sure whether to forgive him for giving his spare discount card to my Mum though.

Good to hear you arrived safely Miss A, give my love to your Mum and Toots, please.
Sympathy to all XOHs and children of KHs. There seems to be a lot of it about.
Hall and stairs nearly emulsioned, going to put chips in Actifry, later.
Hi Jinky, well done Greenbee and hugs Triker.
Rose - big hugs, sorry you feel so rubbish. As others have said, sleeping after you have exhausted yourself crying can be very healing, just remember the cucumber for your eyes.Proud to have dealt with our debt. DFW Nerd 1474

My house would like to thank all the lovely ladies on the flylady thread as it is now spanky shiny! My OH thinks I am sickening for something and the children think I've gone round the bend, but the house is beautiful! I may not be on for the weekend, but I shall be back with renewed vigour next week.
It's also been so touching to see everyone rally round Sandy and all those other flyladys who have needed help and support. You all seem such lovely caring people.
