    PMSL... Happy 16th wedding anniversary to me.. I didn't get flowers.. BUT I did get a date for the nisi through from solicitors.. PMSL!!!

    My ear and mouth still hurt.. :(

    Filled in DD1's EMA forms.. Need to nip into bank to sort her account out.. I think it needs 'upgrading' from a baby account to a proper one.
    She is off learning how to poke herself in the eye put her contacts in and out and clean them etc and I need to pop to post a parcel so I'll bob in bank and sort it then.

    Need to sort a Next return.

    Checked my account and I SHOULD get the crib for Squeak the 5th/6th July.. :eek:

    From what I remember, the date for the nisi knocks flowers into a cocked hat!:D Sorry to hear you're still hurting though.:(


    I'm struggling to concentrate on anything today – I guess it's the “fallout” from coping with an evening out last night, specially as the pub was very busy.:eek: The lads (Mr LW and pal) enjoyed themselves though, so that's the most important thing. Just need to get my equilibrium back now.:o

    Only flying I have done this week, is vacuuming to try and get rid of all the pesky pollen that has snuck in

    And did all the ironing, so have empty basket
    Mortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0
    ISA challenge start 2019 £3000/£1500 (50%)
  • [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] Afternoon all

    Have done loads, honestly, but it's all been in the garden. Have re-labelled everything I did yesterday :cool:, sown seeds, dead-headed, filled another compost bin and covered it over, wheelbarrowed things around to the correct places, hand-pollinated squash plants...

    Now it's w-a-a-a-y too hot out there, so I've come in to do some flying.

    DH is working at home, and needs lunch for 1:15, so I'm going to try to:

    * Empty the dishwasher
    * Hang up the washing
    * Clear up the kitchen counters
    and
    * Make lunch

    before then... Proper cleaning follows, this afternoon!

    Off I go....

    MissH
