You know what they say about our weather - if you don't like it wait half an hour.
15 mins ago blue sky and sun - so thought - grab a quick sarnie, change and go into town
Now? black clouds and rain:mad:0 -
Afternoon all.It's zoelikesjam's wedding today so hopefully she will be having a wonderful day.
Vanilla hoping BiL's gran recovers as completely as possible.
Carlsberggal well done on getting GP appointment. Sound to me as though you're thoroughly run down - make sure you do as GP tells you, and make sure you look after you for once!
I've zipped (well OK hobbled:D) round the spare room and got the list as done as I can. There's currently 3 crates of stores in there, but we don't really have another use for the room, and storage space in the kitchen isn't really adequate.
One of these days I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get the kitchen completely redone....... but not just yet.:eek:

Extras- Clean out any pets N/A

- HHC in a room that needs lots of attention!! Already scheduled for tomorrow, when Mr LW is here to help: a major moving-out of large furniture to clean behind (wardrobes, etc). We have to be at home for Mr LW to log in to work to restart systems when he gets a SMS to tell him to do so, so it seems an excellent opportunity to do behind the large stuff.;)
Later, folks.:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

Was the same here earlier crafty and I called DH to see if he had left and he said "No Why?"
Me - "erm, I finish at 3.30....you are picking me up from work with caravan?
DH "Oh, I havn't even hitched up yet, sorry I thought you finished at 4, you will just need to keep working until I get there" :mad::rotfl:
