    Morning all

    Today's list done (yesterday).


    I've done the bathroom/toilet today and will claim for that when it comes round.

    I've washed the cats blankets and dog's towel and they are out in the sun.

    Just been redoing my budget now it's the new financial year. Can't make it any more unfortunately.....

    Still catching up, hope your DS is doing OK Dusty, hope you are feeling a bit better Soappie.

    Hope that operation does the trick today Diva.

    Sure I've forgotten lots of stuff, sorry.

    Am I being mean or is she just tight?

    You have been very generous. I did the same for years. The friend then rang me 5 days before we were going on holiday together to say she was not coming as she had been having an affair. We went on holiday with her hubbie and 2 of her kids. I can see now why she never even thanked me for the clothes her morals were simply nowhere near mine. I now give the clothes to charity. Keep your own standards but don't expect others to follow yours xx

    The Dodo has been sent to the shower and then we are sorting out the room he nests in - I think I'll make a cuppa first and eat an Easter Egg - I need the strength.

    Morning everyone.

    Glad its the bedroom, ours is horrid.

    Greenbee - I haven't read any but will try
    Dusty - I PMd you, but I do hope your DS3 feels better soon
    Soappie -sounds like a grim cold
    Jinky - huge hugs re the black dinosaur.
    Diva - thinking of you

    Look at the time and I am not even dressed :o. I have been dealing with a TUPE problem (unpaid as I don't want to be liable for their stupidity :eek: :p) which was interesting.

    ETA Thifty/Dusty - you'd be stunned how many people don't bother to even say thanks. I gave away a lot of baby stuff (toys, cot, walking toddler backpack, bike seats) to three different people at work. Only one actually said thankyou! Shan't bother again. On the reverse I regularly took eggs in for one of the accounts ladies and she always tried to pay me, she bought me a lovely anemone for the garden as a present to say thanks.

    Been to town and tip trip done, thats a few more things out as well as all the ebay stuff.:j I'm gonna fill the car again for tomorrow and get rid of more.

    Hubby been and seen, he has a bactrial infection so has been given spray and cream. The doc will see him again in 2 months and then look at why he can't breath through one side of his nose. :D

    Cuppa first then i'll get cracking.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

      I can't believe I found something you haven't read :p. I won't offer to lend them, as those and my Jennifer Crusies don't leave the house :o. Try them from the library first.

      Hope you interesting problem was interesting enough to be worth not being paid IYSWIM... useful experience...

      I've been to the gym, had my passport photos taken and now need to sort out the paperwork and go and send the d*mned thing off to be renewed... at least it means a bit more of a walk... my small jeans are feeling decidedly more roomy so I'm hoping that Friday's weigh-in will be more good news!

      Flying... well, I'm keeping on top of things now that they are civilised again, but it'll mostly be weekend catchups. Hopefully I can get rid of this skip at some point...

      AnW's mum... if you're mad as a box of frogs... maybe toots is perfectly sane? :p:p After all, it's all relative :D

      My fusion of trash meets OS with a fried egg garnish was delish.

      I'm now going to sit a bit whilst it digests and my blood sugar levels return to normal once I've put the bedding on the line to dry
