Good afternoon

Triker - hope you manage to find a new home, or peace where you are :A

Valli - what's up?

I've had what DD described as an "eventful" afternoon - I put unleaded into my diesel :eek: Luckily DD's friend was able to step into the breach and take DS and his friends to the station (they're into Leeds for a concert) and DH did all the RAC negotiating from his office desk I did manage to declutter a wodge from my cc to the nice man at the garage

I'm now home, and decluttering a mug of tea and a large slab of marmalade cake I was too late to get to the butcher, so it's pasta and pesto for tea with several large glases of red - for my nerves :beer:

I have lost my get-up-and-go..... has anyone seen it?

Don't know but mine has gone too. Who is "get up and go" poaching? Look for whoever is flying like a maniac and we have our culprit :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi All
Hope everyone is OK? Sending huge hugs to anyone who needs one... I'm at the end of a very busy week. Not much flying has been done, TBH, but we've had a fantastic time. (And the WeightWatchers has gone completely to pot...I'll find out the damage tomorrow).

Right, I've copied the list from page 1....here's what I've done (if it's gone it's done...):

Bank Holiday Monday ~ Bits of not very much!
Level One
Level Two
Level Three
Empty and wash out the bins
Tidy one cupboard.. any cupboard bt opening one which is already tidy and saying you did that one is not good enough
Extras

Tuesday ~ Living room, hall and stairs!
Level One
Dust and deweb
Level Two
Clean and tidy the porch!
Level Three
Wash front door.. both sides!
Extras

1. Clean the car.. inside and out.. get the minions to help (or do it for you!)
2. Empty and tidy out a grotty cupboard!

Wednesday ~ Bedroom & Landing
Level One
Level Two
Level Three
Remove anything that should be elsewhere.. your bedroom is NOT a shed!!
Remove some dust bunnies and wipe over the light shades
Extras

1. Wash any curtains that need doing

Thursday - Bathroom and Study
Level One
Level Two
Wipe over any chairs/sofas
Level three
Clean the germs off the telephone, keyboard, mouse, monitor, sockets and switches
declutter the pc desk.. while it defrags
Extras

1. Throw out/get rid of 3 things from every room in your house!!

Friday - Child rooms and spare rooms
Level One
Level Two
Clear away anything that isn't in it's place, clothes, toys, books etc
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!!
Level Three
Sort through a cupboard/chest of drawers and get the clothes out which are no longer wearable, too small or out of season!
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Extra

• Wipe the radiators, skirtings and window & door frames!
• 30 minutes ironing.. you love me & you know it!

So, not as bad as I thought (wish I could say the same about WW).

Right,I'm off...have a good evening all and enjoy the weather while it's lasting - they're forecasting rain here tomorrow/Sunday.

Take care
D

Valli

seriously think it's hormones - or my 'little visitor' but I am seething over nothing. So snapping at kids

mind you I did think 'do not open the lemonade' really did NOT need any clarification.
It needed properly chilling because I dropped it (2L value from Mr Ms...18p!) - well he openied it in front of the fridge. Fortunately back door open so he got it outside but he could have (a) listened or (b) asked why it was not to be opened...I probably over reacted though *blush*

and instead of GIVING OUT CANS of pop he could ASK...

(((hugs))) valli

Can you all please keep up the horror stories about children... I need to avoid being broody

pigpen

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pool has been collected and paid for and gone!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! I have room in the shed for the bouncy castle.. so.. KH can come take the pretend shed and the majority of its contents and the remaining bits I want to keep can go in the emptied shed..

Would you believe he has complained about putting money towards DD1's prom dress.. cheeky turd.. He hasn't paid anything towards DD2's trip, nothing towards the uniforms, nothing towards the children in months (£90 received in March!) and then brags about taking them here there and everywhere.. and can afford driving lessons! Me annoyed? No not at all.

Pollybear thats good news about old doggie - and I quite agree - so long as she is happy and comfortable thats the main thing at her age.
Triker sorry the wee van failed - hope its not too horrendous - awh honey (((hugs))) you sound so down i wish we could help - what sort of cooker do you need/want - I just googled 80cm cookers and got a list - have you tried that? everything is getting the better of you so you need to chill and deal with 1 thing at a time or you are going to have a bad flare up - stress does not help your condition - have you eaten today - go sit down with a coffee or a wine and write down a list of whats urgent.

JoJo hope you have a great time at your picnic
hex it sounds like DH is enjoying his life and being part of the family again - it should make things a bit easier for you if he helps while he is out of work:T
mummyslittleboy how frustrating for your nan - I expect she is stressed enough - hope her op goes ok and Grandad settles in.
oh very painful penny!!!!

(((hugs))) for Valli

PenPen - oooooooooooooops. I live in fear of doing that and am almost paranoid at the pump

Vali - she's here right now but I'll happily send her your way if it will help. I was amazed at how calmly I dealt with the smashed window yesterday on my highest pmt day.

Triker - hope you get things sorted

I've got a stonker of a headache (since DS3 got a splinter in his foot and screamed blue murder for 40 minutes)

Kids now all tetchy which will not help. Where is my list.

Dustykitten

Tizer and ice cream anyone - DS1 is making it
