    Morning All

    Washing on the line so hopefully I'll manag to get some more washing done today as it seems a bit brighter. I managed 1 load yesterday and put it on the line and brought it in 3 times before it was dry!

    Mum and Dad's for tea but other than that nothing planned so far today.

    Have a fab weekend Jen

    Healing vibes for your BIL hollyh.

    Have a good day all

  • Morning flygang,

    DW x 1, WM on line & next in, S &S of kitchen in progress

    MrsC - competences are similar these days but lumped together in broad headings - makes example finding a mite more tricky! Had 4 hours last night on it and about halfway I think. Aim to finish it by lunchtime (from home to avoid interruptions) and then head into the office.

    Will fly as much as I can around it - small list of extras today

    Bank x 2
    PO
    Food shop Mr S Mr T (two lots of money off vouchers :D)
    Collect DS & friend from playscheme at last minute (I was "too early last night because they could have stayed for another 55 minutes" :rotfl:)

    Right CV's

    Moam

    ooh - just realised I have made last repayment on one of my debts :j only small but each one down helps!
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Morning....it's our 5th wedding anniversary today...:j:happylovewhich is great except I thought it was tomorrow :o. So received cards and pressies from lovely hubby and he'll get his later.:rotfl:


    Best get cracking, off to work in a mo but MUST DO MILEAGE before I get shot by management.:eek:

    Cleared kitchen last night and think I found the cause of the smell, a discloth was a bit ripe, its now gone.

    Off to write myself a listy and get going.

    Hope BB is ok Soappie and whatever it is works its way out of her system quickly. I know a drop of cider vinegar in their water is quite helpful with upset stomachs.


    Congratulations on your debt repayment MOAM.:j

    Morning campers,

    Have printed off all the weeks lists and have a day at home to chuff through as much as I can. Have a VAT return to do for a client this morning but most of the work on it is done.

    Boys are back from scout camp at 10.30 tonight so am bracing myself for two rucksacks of filthy clothes. Also the foreign language students go tomorrow morning:j so I am now excused school runs and packed lunches till the end of August:D

    Sympathy to whoever is coping with doggy squits (sorry I should have remembered who) - was it Soappie? Our elderly lady gets them fairly often, especially if she's conned visitors into giving her meat. I just love that smell that greets you as you come down in the morning.:eek:

    Right - lists are calling - off to do the kitchen first.

    Pigpen you've cleared loads of £, not long and it will all be gone. :D
    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.
    :j :j
