Fed and watered jnr cabbages and OH. DW emptied and refilled. Food shop on way home, should do us now till Monday. Wm x2, TD x2, I am so looking forward to my clean bed tonight!:j

    Friend is doing the diving run tomorrow so I don't need to be out quite as early.

    Just need to empty the WM and then off to bed for a quick chapter.

    If I'm banned because of it, I just want to quickly say thank you all for your support over the years and I'll stay in touch.

    Why would you be banned, you're points are valid and from the heart. You've had the courage to say what a lot have been thinking, people simply don't know what to do when Piggers posts about her severe and very worrying health problems and then refuses to actually see anyone about them.

    It's like reading about someone constantly getting battered by their partner but not actually taking any support or advice to get away.

    Very distressing.

    Thank you Soappie. xxx
    As Triker has said Soappie you shouldn't be banned we are all worried about her and squeak you have got the courage to speak out.

    I think all these posts show how much we think of Pigpen and I admire you all for saying them. I too am VERY concerned and wish there was something more positive I could do. I wish them both well.

    Ok so since my last post I have done the following from my list

    Extras
    Binbag dance... grab a bag fill it and fling it!
    Spend 15 minutes tackling a hotspot!!
    Check smoke alarms.. if you have none.. get some we had our lives saved by ours this morning!!!!
    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/STRIKE]
    Level Two

    Morning all

    Before things go a bit mental today can I please remind everyone of something I think Valli said last week? This is a mutual support cleaning thread ;)

    fairly quiet day today for me; work, & the lists, but only 2 extras today. Take young dog to vet for booster & start getting caravan ready for Big Chill!! :D:D

    hope everyone else has a good day
