Morning all,

I haven't caught up with the thread so i hope all is well. The Wedding was fantastic, the sun shined all day and it was a really lovely day. I got a bit homesick at 9pm :cool: i haven't been away from the boys for that long since i was in hospital having my gallbladder out. I phoned home though and spoke to them so i was ok then. The house is a tip but everyone is ok and the girls have coped really well between them so i don't really mind. I doubt i'll get any more done off my list today, i need to concentrate on washing, drying and ironing mainly. Also cleaning up the mess the kids have left. I'm just having a coffee then i'll be doing a HHC at 11.20 if anyone wants to join me?

It's MIA with mine! I will be back before I achieve anyting, not feeling great today. Is your computer running faster?

Hugs, Dusty - take it easy if you are not feeling great.
Yes, puter def. running faster. Replaced AVG with avira and that seems to have made a difference. May try reinstalling skype (also got a webcam to set up and some photos to upload)
Oh, looks as if I just made a list:rotfl:
Morning, toots :hello:
We had rain overnight, but just clouds now. Chilly again though

Morning all

Lovely day again, I've got one load of washing nearly dry and the machine is on again with two coats and two cardigans of mine.

I got the grass cut yesterday so that all looks pretty tidy.

DH and DD1 have gone out walking and I'm dog-sitting. She's a bit wobbly today after we took her out in the woods yesterday (the bluebells are just coming out, this time last year they were fully out).

Hope everyone's OK

Morning everyone,

Not posted much this week, though I've kept up with the thread - the week seems to have disappeared and can't believe its work again tomorrow!! It was my first full week at work this year as i've had lots of days off for moving and family visits, and it was a shock to the system - in bed by 10.30 on Friday night

So, though I haven't done too well with the lists as such, my first cleaning visit on Monday for just one hour did just what I needed cleaned up after my pooches weekend visit and stayed clean all week til the dogs arrived back on Friday. Then she'll come again tomorrow and do the same :T

So what it has done is freed up my time to sort things out and do other jobs, so I have sorted through various piles of paperwork, got all the washing and ironing up to date, oiled all the wooden window frames, furniture and bannister etc, so everythings gleaming :j

I've also sorted a pile of change of address paperwork, opened a new bank account, sorted out car and breakdown insurance - and should be gettings heaps of cashback due to the guidance on this website. Delighted!

In the middle of sorting through underwear drawers - yes drawers. It would seem I have around 53 pairs of knickers. :eek: Why? They are all quite new too - I just found some of them today whilst sorting out drawers I had plonked stuff in during the move. So not quite sure whether to keep all of them in the drawer or take at least half, put them aside, wear the others out and then replenish from the set aside pile. Why do some tiny things like this turn into big decisions???!! Ho hum....!!

Anyway, hope everyones having a good day, its lovely and sunny here, though a bit nippy...

Morning everyone. The sun is shining and the birds singing - what more could we want?
Have finally completed the list this week so can I have my final STAR please. I won't probably be able to get any more stars until the summer holidays but hopefully this weeks super clean will mean the house won't get too bad
Off now to enjoy the sun but I'd better wake up OH first

Dustykitten

Toots and Crafty- thanks, I'm fine now, DS1 dropped off, mini sainsbury shop done, beds stripped (by DH and DS1) and one lot on the line.

Just having a cuppa and looking at DHs ISA and then I'll do HHH (half hour hedge)

Hello
Big problems now OH is redundant. Have changed internet package and now find we have used our allotted allocation for April already. I will not be able to join you for the next couple of weeks so have printed off this weeks list as a word doc and will repeat it until I can sign back on. Hopefully not I will do better but I will miss all your chat. Hugs to all - haven't read for a couple of days so apologies if I seem rude not sure what is going on. See you in May.
