Wednesday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area DONE
GS1 has been knocked down at tea time. He is ok but sounds very much like he has a broken foot. DD wont let me go to the hosp so waiting for futher news. Have spoke on the phone to him so feel better Ive spoke to him. Foot is very swollen and a bit sticking out. All he is bothered about is his Rockports. He got off the bus and walked into the side of a car and it went over his foot. Bus stop just beside hospital so his mate carried him.
Got the bathroom done before I went to my voluntary job. The poor cat is trying to find a cool place to lie.

vanilla hope you got those children sorted out - well done for confiscating the electronic toys - i am sure that will have an impact! I hope your assistants help get the house tidied the way you want it:D
Dusty at least DS1 is trying:D:rotfl:
Maisy_Moo you have been doing very well for your first week - I hope you can see a difference and next week it will be easier and quicker to whizz round
frugalzzz you have also been doing well - well done and its nice to hear that you have found a difference - once you get caught up on all the jobs you are uncovering you will easily manage to keep it under control - well done so far:T
macpep1 hope you wee man is on the mend and you and DH dont fall prey to the bug (((hugs)))
G&B must be a nice feeling not to be studying for now - maybe bully's mother needed to be told a few home truths - dont let it get to you - you were only protecting your LO. (((hugs)))
embb Congratulations to DD1 - excellent news:T
toochoosey you need to have a little more confidence in yourself honey - if you already have the certificates it proves you can do the work - I hope something works out for you so that you can use your skills (((hugs)))
pigpen meant to say yesterday I am glad that uncle's death was found to be straightforward - you didnt need any more to cope with just now. well done clearing up outside - you will need somewhere nice for squeak's pram to be. It will look so much better too when you get the stuff taken away.
fedupand skint well done with the weight loss - thats really good - you can do it - keep going girl:T:T:T
boddy ouch that sounds sore - poor GS1 but it was lucky he was so near the hospital - healing and painfree vibes for him. (((hugs))) fir you xx
not achieved much here - spent 2 hours trying to get to the bottom of the problem with the laptop - just need my ISP to come back to me and i think it will be sorted!
did sit out for a wee while with mate that used to stay across the road.
been too warm to do much but will have to go and water plants shortly.
toots xxPeace will be mine

Evening all
Hugs Vanilla - families - who'd have 'em eh?
Newlywed - hugs to you to - have you tried signing on at a temp agency? Even if it's menial stuff (like wot I'm doing at the mo) it'll bring in a couple of quid...
Tooch - the necklace. My first thought was - Why? But then don't mind me - I don't really do necklaces...
Boddy - sorry to hear about GS1 being knocked down - hope he mends quickly
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time but now I'm not so sure.....
The bathroom badly needs decorating so I thought I'd do it this weekend whilst DD is in Spain and won't be showering here (I can get by with strip washes if necessary but she can't even contemplate them for some reason!) and the forecast is set fair.
I have scrubbed the ceiling with bleach solution to try and get down the small patches of mould prior to painting. I then thought I'd scrape off the flaky bits of paint on one wall (the other three are fine - this one wall used to be an outside one before I had the kitchen built). THREE hours later, the scraping of old paint still isn't quite finished. But the good news is there's only a bit of snagging to do.
The combination of plaster dust and smell of bleach in my nasal passages is an interesting but rather irritating one.
Off to find something for dinner - stir fry I think and then flop.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
