    I so want to hear about it though and admire you greatly. Cut off here is Friday night for white tops. Saturday lunchtime for everything else. Mine seem to have cottoned on but I am soft and give a last warning on loading.

    oh you'll hear the screams I should think.

    Even the mucky footy kit hasn't made it in to the basket yet.
    Cut off time in valliland is Friday evening because I have economy 7 and a washer with an in-built delay timer and I usually wake up during the night so stick another load in.
    Although I had the 'it's a lovely day I could dry some washing' itch this morning...still resisted though.

    Lucky chick Notso...and cute.

    I have decluttered a mammogram apt - 2:42 on a Sunday (and I am under the bar for age - well, for a few months. Came out and there was a 'girl' from school there...she was gutted too as she's younger than me! :rotfl:

    And I have to have an extra pic done as they couldn't get 'it' all on from one angle...:o

    DS2 had an accident last night and now has stitches in his forehead and a broken nose. No black eyes yet. He ran into a goal post in the dark last night.

    And what was he doing playing football in the dark?

    MoreThanLucky, the indestructible chick: aww, bless 'im!

    And finally: yesterday, a big box of belongings decluttered (in return for money!:D) at the bar boot; today paper and can recycling taken, freezer defrosted and cleaned out and fresh food bought. Oh yes:D

    Best wishes and better health to all.

    Got the front grass cut edged and swept up too and I've cut back the quince which was poking over the path (it's thorny).

    Going to get the washing in now and drape it round to air off, I think it's near enough dry but it feels cold so it's hard to be sure.

    Mowed the back lawn and washed the car with help from Miss A. Then did a bit of weeding and brushed the drive.

    I resisted the urge to mow the front lawn as I am waiting to see if the new neighbours do it. It is open frontage and they asked who did what weeks ago, I said whoever is out mowing generally does the lot, have the done it since? NO

    Have they done it ever (since the moved in almost 10 weeks ago)? NO

    Do I think they intend do ever do it? NO

    Am I p*ssed off????/ Ever so slightly YES :mad::rotfl:

    I am damned if I am going to mow it all with them sat there in their lounge watching me, so I shall hope and pray there is no rain before tomorrow and then mow our half when the kids are at school. It will look a mess but I will not be taken for a fool.

    Rant over and cappuccino being consumed while I do a bit more ebay stuff. Might even sound off to a very good friend :D

    (won't mention that I came back from football to find my neighbour had cut his lawn and mine I have an electric mower - he has an all-singing petrol one and says 'it's just as easy to do yours while I do mine'.

    Afternoon all.

    Mr LW has hoovered the entire bungalow, and is currently doing the weekly pile of ironing.
    *Turns away from computer briefly to crack whip*.
    He still has the lawns to mow, as long as the sun stays out. Am I evil or what? MWAHAHAHAHA:D

    Ajmoney sending blow-away-volcanic-ash vibes.

    Poohbear ooh, poor DS2. How on earth did he manage that?

    Notso awww, poor little chicky - hope he's doing well still.

    ((((Gentle HUGS)))) and healing vibes for LadyL and Diva - hope you feel up to rejoining us soon.

    ((((HUGS)))) for anyone else who's feeling under the weather, unhappy or just plain fed up.
