    Had my lunch and S & Sd the bathroom. Plans have changed though as I have managed to get a cancellation waxing appointment so I am off into town now. Will get on with bathroom shelves and gardening when I get back

    houstin:-that mould is really bad, it was like that in this house. It was really nasty and took us ages to get rid of it.
    GReen bee : -i left it in the end, bleeding cream kept coming off.

    Well went to the market, it was totally rubbish, so got some buns and cucumbers and trotted back home.
    My sister phoned asking to call driving instructors, politely told her to bog off and i was total agony.
    Might go and see her tomorrow morning, while kids are at school.

    Shot some more rubbish out, could only manage a carrier bag full, stupid hand grrrrr

    Just took: nearly a bottle of bleach, three clothes and a roll of loo roll to clean.

    Didn't get all the wall washed as it took longer than expected to do the window (very big) and very moldy :eek: but it's done now.

    Afternoon all.
    Got home on Sunday evening after a long day travelling. PC taken to shop first thing yesterday and spent the rest of the day dealing with the unpacking washing etc.
    I thought I would survive till the pc came back - hopefully tomorrow, but I was getting massive withdrawal symptoms so dug out the laptop and managed to get connected (for some reason it has stopped connecting wirelessly)

    Just done a quick skim through this week's thread.
    toots - hope all is going well with your hospital visit
    kezlou - massive healing vibes for your hand - sounds really nasty:eek:
    carlsberggal - Just checked your past posts to find out what had happened - a big bundle of positive healing and strength vibes for you and danny.

    Think I am off for a quiet sit-down. I seem to have acquired a headache from somewhere.

    Yous are not the only one, just back after school run. Going to have a quick cuppa and bite to eat, then I'm going to sugar soak the walls as they haven't been done in god knows how long, and they are minging (not our mess) as we just moved in (well March) but we have decorated the whole house bar bathroom and kitchen as we getting new ones in two years. The wall papers nice but really dirty. Also it is the last window I have to de-mould (there was 3-4inches on each window and some on the walls) each window took an hour so I should be done by 2pm. OH doing school run later as I'm getting a well needed hair cut (16mths late) so I'll update before I go to that anyway off for a few HHC if you care to join me

    Eww sounds a bit like this place was when i moved in here but you will get there in the end I just have the front room left to do which fingers crossed I can start in the next couple of weeks if my finances pan out right and nothing unexpected happens. Enjoy having your hair done and having some me time i am decluttering a coffee and will run the hoover round before school runs
