    ....So he was too busy earlier to give me a kiss and say happy anniversary and now, when he's working 10 minutes drive away and when he came home for lunch monday, and tuesday - when TODAY is our anniversary - he's not coming back and doesn't know what time he'll be back tonight, which is why he didn't want to go for a meal.

    Get your sexy gear on and a long coat,:D and get round to his works, 10mins away is not that far, even if you walk, and REMIND him what would have been waiting for him at lunch time.......................may be he just needs a gentle nudge as to what day it is! :D

    I know that feeling lol.. it won't help the situation but it makes you feel better :p

    If the person is not in that line of work can you be certain their info is 100% correct though?

    I'd mention it to the school.. they need to be extra vigilant of dirty old men at bedroom windows.. (we had a neighbour when DS1 was very small, used to partake in 'self pleasure' in the bedroom window... that soon stopped.. :p)

    our school is overlooked by Victorian houses - most of which have been turned into flats.

    Stood in the playground one day 2 of us noticed a bloke draw his curtains back - stark B*****k naked! The head went round to 'have a word'...

    Anyway, the loud music helped - my fridge is all cleaned out now! :D And I can't hear the elephants stomping about in the upstairs flat ;)

    He already knows what day it is - he left an anniversary card before bogging off for the day without saying a word to me other than snapping at me coz I was waiting for a flipping kiss. I seriously am not in the slightly way inclined to anything saucy now.

    Seriously tempted to throw all the cards in the bin, rather than wait for him to come back to open them - cept I know at least one has vouchers :o

    I mean honestly, what part of his brain thought that TODAY would be a good day NOT to come home for lunch, not to tell me he wasn't going to come home for lunch, and not to bother even kissing me goodbye????? :mad:
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    am finding binbag dancing harder and harder as I have less and less to throw!
    Yes, I find this, too.:D Whenever binbag dance is on the list, though, I go round the bungalow and empty all the waste bins into the main bin in the kitchen. I have a bin in every room, so there's no excuse for garbage not thrown.

    Today's list is all done.
    Thursday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing

    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing

    Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed
    All is in order
    Sort through a box or bag of stuff you've not looked at in months..
    Done Only a little box, but one I'd totally forgotten was there.
    Extras

    1. Binbag dance! Done
    2. Wipe grotty paintwork.. touch up any bits that are looking shabby Done all I can get to
    3. Wash windows Done kitchen that didn't get done with the Extras on Monday
    4. Put away some of the winter clothes you hopefully will not need for a few months!!.. Clean boots/winter coats first! All away in its place (no separate place for “summer/winter” stuff as such) Boots all cleaned Sunday by Mr LW
    The chap is coming to do the hedge at the back of our garden tomorrow - I say "hedge", it's ancient hawthorn/elder/bramble/other stuff, VERY high, I'd guess about 100 feet, and needs a professional in to see to it once a year. It's worked out well, as Mr LW is off work, and I don't like having anyone on the property when I'm here on my own.:)

    Mr LW has decided he wants to go to the pub tonight *rolleyes* but in fairness, we may not be able to go again while Sidney is here - depends if he's happy to travel. If he is, there are at least 3 pubs that are dog-friendly.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I knew what you meant..

    Sorry pigpen, just me getting my wires crossed lol :o I'm easily confusable :cool:


    Been round my friends house this afternoon, who's DD was in that house, and we havent heard anything else today. It feels so wrong to sit back and do nothing, so we're trying to decide what to do next. I think we're going down the route of anonymous tip-off to the police. Thank you all for the advice given today. It has helped so much xx

    Flying.... erm, washing put out and LR hoovered, thats it I'm afraid
    I need direction to perfection...

    Council have rung...they are coming tomorrow to have a look at next doors garden (can't see it from the back lane).

    Going to do HHI now and see how much I could get done.

    Good luck to choccybix in trying to find a solution xx
