    Hairspray been put on and scrubbed, seems to have lifted most of the ink and i've washed the hairspray off. I'll have to redo it later. Flipping children.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Weeding has been done, DW just finished, WM finished so i'll go put that on the line. Then i'll do abit more in the garden.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Afternoon all,

    I've done the survey and earned £10 in high street vouchers for me and £3 for Ds1. I've been to Tesco and then met my Sisters for lunch. Poor neveah she can hardly walk and has the biggest bruise i've ever seen in my life.:eek: We had to go into the charity shop and buy a walking stick, then she was watching all the old people to see how they did it.:rotfl:( sorry nev) She's going back the the Drs tonight as it's not right. Lisa has sprained her wrist as well so they were a right pair.

    I didn't have time to take the things back to the shop ( please don't throw anything at me Toots :D) but i need to go back tomorrow to do a mystery shop so i'll do it then.

    We've unpacked the shopping, i'm having a coffee then i'll do something. I just brought my food waste bin in and it was crawling with maggots.:eek: I squirted a load of bleach in and it all went cloudy, i don't know what to do with it now. I may leave it for OH to deal with.;) I don't like killing things but they couldn't stay there.
  • Hi, guys. Just been stood up for tutoring. Hey ho.

    Cor there are some fiercely unpleasant posters on other boards on MSE, once they get their teeth into a feud, they don't release their grip.

    Safe here, except when our fli curious girlie mate pops by.

    Put dw on, but is the highlight of my achievements.

    Afternoon all

    Managed to get an earlish finish today thanks to a silly o'clock start. Didnt manage the packed lunch today and I am ashamed to say Greggs called me in. On the other hand I am going to cook something nice for dinner now I have a little bit of time so need to get to the supermarket for some ingredients. I have a lot of mince in the freezer in small packs and would like to do something a little bit different with it rather than my usual spag bol or chilli. I did think pasties but after my Greggs slip up today that is probably not a a good plan. Any inspiration?

    Plans for the house include kitchen wipe down and lounge hoover as well as watering the plants and taking Spike for a run whilst the rain stays off.
    This weekend I am hoping to take a better hold of my cleaning routine as currently I am so tired when I get in from work I cant be bothered and thats not good enough. Anyway this is getting anything done so I will nip back later.

    Thanks
    CJ

    Ooooo! A girl has just called for Ds1. They're going to meet her bf and Ds1's gf apparently. I don't like it at all. He's growing up too quick.:( That'll explain why i keep finding the home phone in his bedroom.

    I suppose i'd better make a start on tea and clean my room.

    Aww, bless :) I agree about them growing too quickly :( How old is he?

    Lots done today - I've been employing DD to assist me in the garden, and she's made a lovely job of edging the lawns :T She can mow tomorrow, and then I might get her weeding :j

    Just made my first ever meat loaf, and some strawberry buns for tea. I'm singing in our choir concert tonight, then out for some beers :beer:

    He's 13 Penny. Far too young to have a gf he should be at least 30 i think.:cool:

    Mind you at least now he might start washing properly.
