  • Oh and those nice people from Amazon have just delivered a new iron - yes folks I've killed another one! Married for 22.5 years - this must be iron 12 or 13!
    And how is your DH's head??

    Decluttered a load of coursework. Car is broke again.

    Happy Birthday LameWolf!

    Diva - Hope your sickness subsides.

    JulieJim - how was your trip to London (sorry if I've missed your post about it)?

    FunFairPrincess - Hope BD leaves you alone today.

    My head's still all over the place. DD1 is off school today as she only has 2 lessons and the teachers are stuck abroad. She has done Monday's list for me, she's not such a naughty girl really. Just wish she would do some revison.

    Going to clean windows in DR now. 3 loads of washing on the line. 2nd load in WM. DW on. Master bed stripped (there's alot of smeary make up on the pillow from all my tears)

    Going to do some ironing now. Just the kids school stuff from yesterday, can't motivate myself to do any more.

    Hi Everyone

    I am back from my weekend away. Am in this week, hoping to achieve my final 5 stars.

    Hope you are all well, I was very very busy last week, special love as always to Lady-L, Toots & Diva.

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie as usual. Think it’s a good idea to suspend the stars and will save poor Toots having to search the thread all the time, am sure everyone will still try their very very best.

    My house has not been lived in since Friday so am hoping to cross some stuff off, I was in the caravan for 7 hours yesterday, cleaning it from top to bottom, does anyone know how I can get the metal shelf things that are in the ancient fridge back to sparkling, they are kinda grey and not smooth like I suspect they should be.

    My holiday ended on a bit of a sour note, my uncle (who I am close with, he gave me away at my wedding) has had a minor heart attack, he is getting a balloon fitted today as he has a blocked valve, my aunts brother died last week which I knew about but it turns out he was murdered and my sister in laws dog grooming shop was broken into, remind me not to go away again!!!

    Now, you see, I'm going to have to make some of those! Any recipe by someone called 'Fizz Carr' has to be worth a go - what a great name!
