    I have - pegged out 1 load of washing, made and eaten lunch, tidied and cleaned the kitchen surfaces and done the cat litter. Off i go again......

    Afternoon all

    Hope things get better soon Vanilla

    One load of washing done, dried and put away. I've cut the back grass, I did most of it a couple of days ago but the mower keeps cutting out and I couldn't finish it, done now though.

    I've cooked lunch and that's all cleared away and I made a cake which we're going to try now with a cup of tea.

    Got a phone call from DS a couple of hours ago to say he's finished his bike ride but his knees are "shot"... good job he's got next week booked off as holiday to get mobile again!

    Freezer defrosted
    Another wash on
    2nd freezer sorted

    Fridge sort and clean next and then on to the shopping list.

    DH painting the playhouse so guess I'll need to collect the boys from squash (we cycled up there so won't take long).

    Mrs C hope the cricket run went ok. I think it was DS1's last game of the season today. Good job too as he'll be back to reffing next week.

    Vanilla hugs and coping vibes for you my little star. This too will pass as you know, take care sweetie

    Mudders - good to see you old chum

    15 minutes should be time to do one fridge as it's nearly empty, so off I go.

  • Hi all

    Been a busy morning for me. DD dropped off at dancing and decluttered £50 to dancing teacher for news shoes/clothes:eek:. Helped OH pick up his disco from one place and drop it off at tonights gig. Went to Mr T's for food otherwise we would be starving and since I came back from picking up DD I have been cleaning and washing. Just about to stick the bed clothes in the WM and hang another load out.

    Toots the move is making everything a lot better. The boys don't fight at night as they aren't in the same room and I've got my own room again.

    Afternoon all,

    Big hugs for Vanilla, it sounds like you're going through a tough time at the moment.

    We've been to collect the school uniform, i cried when Ds2 tried his on.:( Dss's tshirts aren't big enough so i'm going to exchange them on Monday. Then we went to the market and there was only 1 of the usual 2 fruit and veg stalls there, the most expensive one.:cool:

    My rotary line has come out the ground so i persuaded OH to put up a line going the length of the garden.:j I've always wanted a long line.:o

    Been out and done some shopping and about 3 loads of washing but other than that - nothing.

    Piggers - M&P Graziella is £34.99 in Home Bargains

    I have a mountain of ironing but I think it will have to wait until tomorrow. Fetched the kids some PE stuff today but I need to find their uniforms ready for Wednesday. I'm back to work on Monday but I've got 2 days inset but don't know what we're doing as I can't find my sheet so I'll just turn up and hope I don't need anything!

    Hugs to all

    Hi everyone.

    Hellyboo - I guess three years gives you time to plan! My OH is never drinking again either! I'm wondering when the tiredness will kick in for me as I stayed up with him until 7am. I'm wondering how much money he spent too though it was a works do so might have been free. The best of it is that his bank card fell out of his pocket when he came in....I've put it somewhere safe but I'm going to let him think he's lost it for a while. I have to get my kicks somewhere!!!
    :naughty:Mudbath. Mind you, I'd do the same, given the same situation! I'm lucky, Mr LW excuses himself from works "do"s, even if they can take partners, as he knows I'd hate going to anything like that, and he doesn't like going anywhere without me.:A

    Left the Westies for 1/2 hour while we popped into town to a couple of errands, with a 1/2 a Dentastick each and the radio on for company, and they were fine. So hopefully they'll be OK Tuesday when we go to the hossy for my annual [STRIKE]run-in[/STRIKE] check-up with the rheumy.

    Bed has been stripped and is airing, we'll re-make it a bit later; bedlinen we took off has been washed, dried outdoors and is now in the airing cupboard, and Mr LW has just finished the weekly hoover of the whole bungalow.:A Also, egg fried rice has been consumed for lunch.;)

    I hope everyone's having a good weekend, or at least as good as possible.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
