    We have just had a lush chicken dinner, so best go tidy up the kitchen again! (Does anyone else feel like they are always cleaning it, and its never tidy)

    Hi all.

    A mega-catch-up with Fred again, as I didn't get online at all yesterday.:o

    Well Done to Miss Pigpen and Master Dustykitten.:T:T

    Quillion (((HUGS))) and brave new start vibes.

    Mudbath sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at Stripes wagging her tail at you after sleeping on the clean washing. You know she'd be welcome here.......:D

    Candy & Cameron went home yesterday, so the sofa throw and cushion covers have duly been washed.;) Mr LW has done all the ironing and hoovering, so that's all sorted for the coming week.:A

    Actually, I'm a little unsure how to deal with next week; we're out all day tomorrow, for our 7th wedding anniversary, so NO flying will happen, and Tuesday Mr LW is working from home, finishing at 14:30, and we're out to dinner in the evening, as our restaurant of choice couldn't fit us in for Monday night.

    So.... do I skip Monday entirely, or do I try for catch-up over the course of the week, omitting the Extras? Hmmm, what to do? I don't want to try for everything and use up ALL my spoons, but at the same time I don't want the place looking like a pigsty.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    toots ooo I hadn't even thought about the insurance.. Hmmm.. Might have to wait until Wed then. Boo!! Better to be safe than sorry tho I guess.

    Took my Dad, in his mid 60's, karting for the first time today. He LOVED it :D

    Looking forward to the flying week ahead.. That's probably v wrong of me!! Lol!!

    Hugs & spoons to those that want them

  • LameWolf congratulations on your anniversary! Hope you have an amazing day.

    I had a lovely day today, tidying the downstairs this morning hardly took any time thanks to my HHCs yesterday. Dinner with our friend worked well (Lamb casserole with feta and mint, and couscous) which doesn't always happen, as I have a horrible habit of cooking new recipes for people before trying them first! And then she and DH washed up afterwards, and dried, and put everything away! Wonderful.
    I would really love to be tidy and organised enough to get to church on Sundays we have people over, something to aim for.

    Looking forward to a full week with you all next week :beer:

    Hello, We are back, eventully, after a flat tyre(punctured....stooopid screws!!!) and a flat spare(easily pumped up)!!!
    We took friends awning down yesterday, then had a BBQ and DD was very impressed with toasting marshmallows. Took our awning down today....not going to put into attic yet as it needs the stitching reinforced and the ceiling needs a good scrub?????
    Think I will dismantle the sofabed and put it onto freecycle and then I will be able to make a proper start on clearing the rest of the carp before putting the awning up there.

    Hoping you are all well and had a good weekend xx

    WAITING FOR POST TWO TO BE TAKEN ON THE OTHER THREAD

    Lamewolf - Miss one day next week. It needn't be the day you have to celebrate - congratulations but miss the day which least needs doing.

    Off to list 2 items on ebay and then ironing.
