Holly - ouch for SD. I know someone who sat on hers and regretted it.

Upstairs done, LR and playroom are done. Kitchen/cloakroom/halls just need an S&S so only really the DR to do but it is fairly grim in there with all the building stuff dust. Having a ten minute sit down then I will start again.

Insightful thought from my 16 year old yesterday. They examine us in too much, everything they teach us. Why not just teach us stuff. Let's face it if I'm cooking dinner for a girlfriend she won't be impressed that I have a hygiene cert just that I'm cooking and not poisoning her.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: he has a very valid point!!!

Hi all - I havent caught up with all the thread, just a few pages.

Just wanted to stop and say love n hugs to Toots, LL and Triker ( we all feel like that sometimes).

Well I have just found out that my sister IS MOVING TO WALESS!!!!!!!:T:T:rotfl::rotfl::j:j:T:cool:;):beer::j:D:D:rotfl::):T;)

But into my spare room, which means I can no longer use for storage, which means my cleaning mission has just turned into a mammoth task!!!!!

Triker - I will swap you houses - I will do yours and you can come round and be brutal with all my stuff - its easier when its someone elses

Off to find my list.....

Hi all
Hope everyone is OK? Not read back through the thread as I'm just off for a run, but thought I'd drop in here to update. Sending hugs to anyone who needs one....

Been busy again today...Have sorted through 3 x crates of junk that has been sitting around for at least a month...the idea was that things were put into said crates so that they could be put away. In actual fact most of it ended up in the bin...

As well as that I've been working through the list - if it's not there, I've done it...

Wednesday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
Level One
Level Two
Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc
Level Three
Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! (the proper bins not the rooms that look like bins!)
Extras

1. HHI... a bit more gone!

Still have a fair bit to catch up on, but I'm pacing myself!

That's it, I'm off...better do that run before it gets dark...or rains!

Take care

Evening,

I hope everyone is doing ok, hugs to everyone that needs them.

Well my flying is not going too good this week, must try harder (story of my life).

The weather has been lovely here so I have been in the garden lots and doing stuff there. It is looking ok now and hope the weather stay nice for the weekend so I can have a BBQ.

DS has nisted himself in again for a few days, seems to do that more often nowadays. I blame him on my no flying as he is cluttering the place up and I can't do anything with him around.

Not heard anything from DD1, think I will just leave her to it for now.

Tuesday ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs

A beautiful day here its lovely. Got the dailies and living room done before I went to my vol job. I was up early as I had an early night as I was shattered. GGD3 Has been diagnosed with asthma. Its great as they are on my route to my job so can pop in. Ive got a bit of paperwork to sort out tonight.

Welcome to the newbies.

Triker Hugs for you all.
carlsberggal Hugs.
Carol22 Hugs.
hollyh Poor SD Hugs

Hugs for everyone specially Toots, Lady L and Diva.

Many thanks to AJ, Serena and GnB for your pm’s. Also thanks to all of you who have posted about Danny. He’s still out there, maybe tomorrow night before there is a bed for him on the plane, there must be some very poorly boys and girls needing his place more than him, I’m grateful he doesn’t and upset that the others do – not good for them or their loved ones, also feel really selfish and horrid that I feel relieved Danny isn’t one of them that needs a bed on the plane sooner.

Mega busy at work – which I could do without as my head is a shed full of carp. Mum and dad came home from their hols today so had to go round and tell them, I thought mum was going to collapse poor lovely.

Sorry I’m just posting and running as usual, so mega hugs and love all round to you amazing people. Did see though briefly that Triker and her DD need loads of hugs and kisses – get the barstewards done is my opinion, absolutely disgraceful behaviour by them and the school! And also hollyh’s DSD (sorry if I got the step bit wrong) needs healing vibes. Ouch, can remember when DD1 stood on hers and the mess it made of her.

Much love to the lovely, amazing toots, jinks, LL and hope diva is ok, haven't seen any purple
