I'm in again this week. Can't guarantee how often I'll get on to update, but I'll be lurking and following the lists.
Now that we've got some lovely weather the black dog has well and truly gone (:j) and I've got what seems to be endless energy. I've even bought some tins of paint(!)
Hope everyone is well, sending hugs to anyone who needs one.
Take care

Morning all
Can I join in again this week? I'd like to get the place into shape before half term and I'm just in the mood to tackle this lounge this morning (this doesn't happen very often).
I'm also going to plant some stuff in the front garden which I'm really looking forward to...must be the sunshine!
Thank you to the ladies who run the thread.

Morning campers
I'm up and about and have finished reading the paper online so am raring to go - oh wait no that must be another me in a parallel universe as I am not raring to go..:rotfl: Although I am getting there slowly
I have already hung one load of washing on the line and have another load going around in the machine, and have taken my meds with my first cup of tea. Also filled up the water thingy in the fridge so that I have cold water during the day, all I have to do is put the glass underneath the tap on the outside, and voila - cold water!! Love it!! Trouble is this bit of the fridge only gets used during the heatwaves...:rotfl:
The baby birdies are in the garden in full force this morning, one of them was having a mud bath on the path by the washing line. It was really sweet to watch as he was rolling around another baby bird was looking at him with his head on one side as if to say "what on earth are you doing?" I do love this time of the year with the babies, trouble is my garden becomes a nursery and the noises they make - it is bedlam when it cools down at night.Oooh mousey is under the bird table having a route around, wonder if he has a mate yet? Will have to keep my eyes peeled for her, I imagine she is firmly under the compost heap though. Haven't seen the frog/toad yet this spring, bit worried as I don't know if he has survived the winter
I do put the hose where he normally lives, and have filled up his water homes in the hope that he will pop out again.
Am going to make the most of the cool weather at the moment and do a bit of ironing before I start to swelter in the heat. Wonder if my neighbours would think I was odd if I went outside at 8ish and started potting up my seedling..I can imagine my neighbours peering at me from behind their curtains as they get ready to go to work..lol
Wow Soappie that is an ingenious hidey hole your DS had, what a clever idea. Although how did he come to this idea as I don't know of any people that would think of unscrewing the hinges on the doors :rotfl:

Shhhhhhh :cool:
Morning all
Wall to wall sunshine again. Have the work thing this morning and will do some flying when I get home this afternoon. DD is due back late this evening - she probably won't be home until about midnight - her plane doesn't land until just after 23:00. I'll not wait up for her but will probably wake up when she gets in.
Hope your hospital trip goes smoothly Toots xxxI am the leading lady in the movie of my life

The WM is on - I'm hoping it will finish soon so I can put it on the line before I go to work - that's in about 10 minutes. I've done a pile of ironing but there is still loads to do but I'm hoping to get through it this week.
Hope hospital isn't too gruelling Toots.
