    hello:wave:

    The week is not going as planned - do they ever? But reading the thread has helped to put things into perspective. Hugs and spoons to all those who need them.

    My kitchen is now a place of two halves. To the left :T shiny sink, clear/clean worktops; to the right :eek: :eek:....but I'm working my way round a 15 minute spree at a time and it will be done...thus spake Roundtuit!!

    Don't know where that came from!

    Hi,

    I've eaten my lunch. I'm trying to use up all the bits from the freezer that aren't enough to make a meal so today i had a vegetable finger sandwich with mayo and chilli sauce. It was surprisingly nice. I've also got an apple crumble in the oven and the car is ready so i'm going to pick that up now. I may pop into town to have a mooch and post my ebay parcel. I feel a bit stir crazy spending so long alone in the house all day without a car. :cool:I need to get a job asap.

    Toots forgot to say what a stunning necklace, you've some talent lady.
    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.

  • Hi there
    Can't motivate myself to do anything today, blowing a gale, sunny one minute and lashing down with rain the next. Need to go out for milk and bread but can't even manage that! Made soup for tea at least thats something!
    Maybe tomorrow for some flying....

    Hi All
    Just updating my list...hope everyone is well? Sending hugs for anyone who needs one - one day I'll have time to catch up with the thread (I can hope!).

    Right, here's what's left - if it ain't there then I've done it...(I'm ignoring the extras again...have enough of my own!)

    I feel like I'm making some headway - I can't claim that it's looking tidier (there's so much junk around), but it is getting cleaner IYSWIM.

    In addition, I've also done HHI, sorted photos for DD for school - they had to take two in for the non-fiction history books that they're making, filled in some forms and caught up with the house finance spreadsheet. I think I've got too much month left at the end of my money *rolleyes*.

    I'd better get DD a snack sorted - she's off to french class after school so will be ravenous.

    Take care all

    Plus I hoovered under all the tables, chairs and bookcases in the kitchen, and all the beams and the ceiling, wiped the bins and tidied a hotspot on the table. And I've labelled the fruit I bottled the other days, tested the seals and stored them away in the cellar, rearranging the shelves so the oldest stuff is at the front. So I'm feeling very pleased even if that kettle will have to wait till another day...

    Have made some lunch and picked some pears for our evening meal. Then I'm off for a shower and out for the school run.

    Back tomorrow

    hi all

    was out for coffee with a friend this am, then came back and rested/dozed for an hour or so. She brought me a couple of bits her hubby had picked up for me from Ikea so that's a little bit more sorted :)

    Flying wise have done one load of washing which is hanging up, second load is in. Have made a shopping list so will do an online Mr T shop in a bit. DH is going to pick me up some more preg vitamins at lunchtime as I've run out, could be partly why so tired as not taken any for a few days.

    Really need to do the church magazine this aft, won't take that long but I wish I'd never taken it on (can't really say that or will be admitting DH is right as he didn't want me to do it). Have a feeling I should do this today whilst I feel ok as who knows how I'll feel tomorrow!
