Afternoon all,
sneaky post from work again!

Mumto5 thinking of you today & hoping it went as well as possible
toots thanks for the tip - I have a lavender hedge in the front garden, so I'll try & make my own when it flowers later on
Valli hope you feel better soon, sun is shining in spiretown!
LameWolf - love the poem, I might pinch that with your permission to use myself! I love the idea of eco-woodland burials, trees, birds, bluebells etc, it's good to talk about these things I think.

Flying wise I have had a very productive morning:

pigpen

pinks collected..

HHC 3:30-4pm anyone?

I need to get the girls room vacuumed now it is full of rubble and I need to refill mim's CoD

Valli

My bathroom and kitchen are spotless:D
I have been 'conned' into picking chillies up from school *rolleyes* - well conned by one so I stayed and found the other too - after waving at some alien teen who wasn't mine - why do all the girls look the same *shrug* it was DS who conned me. he now seems to think I will fund a shopping trip to Meadowhell this saturday as he is skint and needs to buy a present for his (female) BF - now - I can quite understand the need for a nice gift - she bought him a chain for his 16th BUT I do NOT see why it entails a trip to Meadowhall and a dinner in The Oasis and bus fare etc etc...
So those hereabouts if you hear shouting it will be him thinking the louder he asks the more chance he'll get the cash...

*rubs bum still numb after all that time on the naughty step*

*runs to join Piggers' HHC*

LameWolf

Vanilla I'm sorry for your loss.

cally-c please feel free to use the wee poem. And anyone else who likes it.:)

Must hang no-longer-manky cleaning rags on the line, then I guess I'd better get the WiiFit+ out. Got to declutter the extra calories I consumed on Tuesday. *rolleyes*.

Well, I have done very little today....hoovered, welsh class, work, a load in the WM and some dishes washed, dried and put away.......looks like another busy Friday!!!!


Where is Rospink these days?, hope she is ok xx

Right, I have about 20 mins before I take DD to dance class so going to run around and see what I can get done...and maybe iron 1 or 2 things................

guttering priced.. I didn't realise it was so goddam cheap!!!! I'll be getting that done ASAP then.. should only cost about £40 to get it all done!! BONUS!! Then I can sort the plastering in the girly room.. THEN.... I can decorate it... ...
.

I did wonder if the guttering problem was the cause of the plaster problem.
Hope you can get it sorted permanently.

pigpen

She's wasting time on fb instead of cleaning!!!

It was meant to have been sorted 2 years ago but the whole wall was sopping after it had snowed and the water just got forced through the bricks.. I'll leave it exposed to dry for a couple of months.. and have the guttering fixed in the meantime and hopefully get it replastered at the end of summer so my winter job (more like easter next year lol) can be decorating in there.. it'll take months with the baby but we have lived here 6 years and it hasn't been done yet so I guess there isn't much hurry!.. I WILL have my room done before baby arrives though if it kills me (which it might!!) it is slowly being decluttered in the bedroom though.. my poor wheelies which were emptied on Tuesday are both full! but it just all has to go!

Mim's CoD's in situ.. and filled.. floor/remaining rubble vacuumed.. Henry got constipated so I emptied him and vacuumed some more...

Mim needs to remake her bed.. if she can't be bothered to bring her pi$$y sheets downstairs I can't be bothered to put clean ones on (she is 9 so quite capable!) She has more PJ's than we know what to do with.. SO.. I am going to fill a large carrier of her stuff and she can take it off to KH's.. most of her stuff used to belong to DD2 so I don't mind.. and tomorrow I will get round to sortin Moomins CoD's out.. I now have a carpe cut into 2, rolled up and dumped out the fron of he house.. and a CoD's otu the fron.. and I really must sort out their garden toys before summer. I was going to give Jacob the little tykes rocker, slide and car.. but I'm going to bung them in the other shed for Squeak. I aready decided he's having a new tricycle for the 1st birthday.. I like to be organised..

right.. OH on dinner duty.. and he can make a cuppa too.. and I'm going to hang out 2 lots of washing.. it isn't much as one machine has a duvet in it.. . I may bring in and fold the dry stuff too.. and that is it for the day... I am exhausted!

So after being out all day Tuesday and in bed most of Wednesday I decided to just see how much I could achieve today.

Extra special hugs to mumto5 for today, hope the funeral went okay, and it was a glorious day to remember your nan with too.

Jenny huge congrats on your upcoming wedding, I bet you are so excited.
FFP "hugs" honey - how's the BD, hope he's gone now and you are feeling more like your old self
Belated birthday wishes for Tuesday Lame Wolf, sorry it's late honey. Hope you had a good day.
