    Hi all, glad to see you're still here lamewolf. If you have an oil burner, burning a few drops of frankinsense oil is meant to help with nightmares - not sure if it will help you or not :o

    Have decluttered lunch, and OH back to work - he has mentioned he needs to sort out and clear up his tools in the hall and that was without prompting (he is usually a clean freak and a constant declutterer) ;)

    The bathroom and kitchen floors have been mopped so I can't do anything in there :D

    Next will make the bed and clear some more hotspot gibble (magazines and recipe printouts which accumulate by my bed for some reason :o) Or maybe I should just go sit in the sunshine :D

    Lovely to see a picture of you Lamewolf. You look exactly how I had pictured you in my mind. I feel I have met you before - perhaps we bumped scooters in MK one day? I agree with everyone else - i always look out for your posts and get such a lot from them even though i only lurk here x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    I have changed my mind about going to the garden centre today. Going to finish the other jobs on my list, clear clutter from the car and then have lots of me time. I will take the car up tomorrow when I finish work and am hopefully feeling more energetic.

    I don't know if anyone'd be interested, but Mr LW was asked recently to write a blog entry for the British Computer Society, on money and the internet. Anyways, he got me to help him with it, and if anyone would like to read it, here's the link:

    I like that, maybe Martin should pay you both to fly the MSE flag for him as that is a very good article. Glad to see you back on here x

    Glad you're sticking around Lamewolf, we would all be very sad if you left:( And tell your mum to naff off, in the nicest possible way of course;)

    I think i peaked too early today! Had a really productive morning and have since ground to an almighty halt:rotfl:

    On the upside the flat looks pretty good at the moment, got some black bags delivered from Mr T this morning so operation declutter will commence next week:D Plus my ironing basket looks tonnes better, it was starting to scare me:eek:

    Hi All

    Hope you are all well, isn’t the news about Cumbria awful, hope all the flyladies that way are ok.

    The past twice when we have come back from our long weekend, there has been a nasty smell in the bathroom, I thought perhaps pepper (our cat) had peed in the bath, as the smell disappeared after a few days but last night I ended up taking the bath panel off as the smell was doing my head in!!!

    We found lots of little piles of poo!!! Obviously she had not been getting out as much as she should have while we were gone. How the heck she squeezed through the small gap I don’t know but the poo has now been removed, it still pongs a bit but its getting better and the hole has now been blocked up!

    Got a bit done last night but nowhere near what I wanted to so update of listy.
