Hello all,
What a gorgeous day - welcome to Thursday.
And on this lovely day I have cleaning to do :( How did that happen?
Also a report to finish and some jobs to look at.

Will fit some gardening in (and buy a pair of slippers before mine fight their way out of the house!)

    What a beautiful day........I shall spend some time in the garden I think if I dont get eaten alive by the insects, sometimes living in a rural location has its drawbacks.

    Off to hairdressers at lunch time, not sure if I fancy something completely different this time.

    Soz about the bad nights sleep Bun, and the cold........:(

    Butti, its too nice for housework. How is your eye now BTW?

    Going into work today, walking through the local park which is lovely and makes the walk a joy instead of a chore!

    Morning all

    Tenmah - Enjoy work!

    Buns - Hope the cold beggers off soon

    Butti - Leave the housework until tomorrow.

    Lou - Are you going to go for a big chop?


    Gorgeous day here - which is just as well cos I'm on a mission. I've already taken down all the curtains and nets, I've cleaned the insides of the windows and some of the curtains are in the machine - need to buy some new nets for the living room, which I shall do later.

    I'm spray painting some bits for my bathroom so they've had a final coat and are basking in the sun drying (minus greenfly I hope - pesky things) I brought some fabric for new bathroom curtains (well more window dressing than curtains) and am going to make some bunting to go with them....having a sea-side/beach hut theme....hope to at least get that all cut out today.

    Need to pop to town for net curtains, some white tape for the bunting and having my hair chopped at noon.

    More coffee please!

    Cold you use the old nets to protect them from insects?

    Last night did NOT go to plan. Left work 2 hours later than expected. Did laundry, Skyped, had healthy dinner, emptied wardrobes abd drawers, went to bed. Guess who's living room looks like a set for Widow Twanky's laundry:rotfl:

    Will finish tonight, do kitchen tomorrow as planned, have a tidy of living room/our bedroom and clean bathroom on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon shall attempt to groom. Sunday - shopping:D (oh and the boys'll be back Sunday evening)

    I cant have it too short Pooky otherwise I look like a man........seriously I do:o

    I have had it in a long layered style for a few years now so I was thinking maybe a shoulder length bob? Dunno, might let my hairdresser decide:eek:

    Its really handy to tie back at the moment though and I can just wash it and leave it, cant be bothered with high maintenance hair.

    good morning

    I was putting washing on the line at 4.30 this morning :( Nathan wet the bed so stripped it and put new on, then put his bedding in the machine after putting yeterdays bedding on the line, then 5.30 i was putting another load on, too hot to sleep, so i'm a bit stattered.

    went to put washing on the line at 10 and line snapped ggrrr :mad:

    going to go into town in a bit with Nathan, he wants to make cakes so we need to get the ingredients.

    Jack (the dog) is very retless today and crying :( i'm hoping its because hes warm so i've put the fan on for him. Nathan is getting very anxious incase its his ears again, (if it is he will be put to sleep :() And after Wongy i think it will really upset him.

    Hey Gonzo,

    It's days like these that Butti's signature quote is particularly relevant...
