    I feel a bit more ready to face the world now. I have just gone into every room and put into a pile stuff that is in the wrong place an needs sorting. I didn't go into the spare room though (once again my ROD) as everything in there is in the wrong place :rotfl:going to do a couple of 5 minute challenges in there over the weekend.

    I need to make up a shopping list then I am off to work for a bit, shopping on the way back and then I can fly. The house is tidy so I just need to put the stuff away, dust and vacuum, that is the theory anyway!!!

    Oooh Kazwookie, we are heading off to Norfolk on Saturday. Somewhere called Throckenholt,

    That is either an anagram of the real place name, or one to keep in mind now that they've changed the scrabble rules to include proper nouns :rotfl: Have a lovely relaxing holiday, and go steady with that list :eek:

    Snap!


    It did rain here overnight (and I would rather like to be outside when the lady across the road realises her rear car window has been open ALL NIGHT - and parked on the road :eek:) but looks like it's drying up so I have towels and other stuff on the line and sheets in the machine.

    I need to wash up, portion the chilli now it's cooled, clean living room and bedroom and do some work stuff. I *almost* planned a party last night BUT in the cold light of day I am thinking better of it. Might stick to the buffet;) or, posssibly, do an 'at home'. Becaus ethat way friends could drop in as well as family. Not that there'll be room...

    Just flitting in to wish Natty a brilliant holiday - hope you have fun - I shall miss the bird reports - our birds seem to have disappeared since Ebony and Sooty (MIL's cat from next door) spend most of their time in the garden - I think they've got a tag team going. lol

    Well no work again today, so Moon and I are out to the letting agent to sort out the problems with our mortgage. Also need to visit the bank to set up a standing order. Of course I shall be breakfasting at Starbucks too.:p That will be the half hour doing something for me, although it probably won't take that long.

    Well I'd better get a wriggle on.

    See you all later,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning all, woken up tired, weepy and sore :( but a day at home should help with that. Wish I knew when the plumber was coming as I want to put the washer on etc but you can guarantee that the moment I do there will be a ring on the doorbell :rotfl:

    How come pigpen and rach can do a long list and nobody shouts at them but when I do one you all moan at me???:p

    That is why!!!

    Rach is nesting and everyone knows I am a lazy bum and won't do half of what is on my list!!
    And mine is basically writing thankyou notes and other things I can do sitting on my bum! :D

    Think I am going to get dressed and then try and doze on the sofa for a bit
