    Morning all

    One load of washing out on the line, I've vacuumed through downstairs and generally tidied up. I did all the bedrooms on Wednesday (well mine, the little bedroom and the square yard of the back bedroom that I can get to - DH's stuff, not mine) so that's today's list covered.

    Hope everyone's OK, not caught up yet.

    pooh awh honey what a dreadful week - I am so sorry to hear of both your cat and your friend - I hope DS will be ok. my thought and prayers are with you all xxx and I hope you get the bank sorted out - love and hugs and keep doing the sun dance:D its way too early for snow.
    lil_me :T:T well done for raising so much! as always you are so busy - i dont know how you manage (((hugs)))
    holly what a day you had - my condolences to you and your family for your loss - it is so hard when they live so far away - you are in my thoughts and prayers - much love xx
    wilf this made me smile - thank you!! "find somewhere to stick it and something to stick it with then stick it!":rotfl: thats my kind of problem!!!
    fedup (((hugs))) hope you begin to feel better very soon - maybe you should think about going to the doc?
    robberbutton its AnW'sMum's patented:rotfl: method of doing her house - you select a an area - not a whole room - maybe just a chair or the coffee table or a piece of worktop - just one small place and you clear it, you clean it and only put back what is meant to be there - deal with what you have cleared awy - the trick is to keep that 'dot' tidy - you can then do another or leave it until you have time and move on and do the same to another bit - just like dot2dot books you aim to join up your 'dots' and have a whole area tidy - hope that makes sense my brain isnt in gear yet!
    triker good to see you are feeling better but dont go daft will you - you dont want to be too tired tomorrow. Did you get the asnnoucement done?
    just had a text from Natty last day of her break and she has enjoyed it - only sheep for neighbours but she says they are so boring they only eat - she is missing the bird activities!:D

    havent done anything yet apart from replies to lovely messages!

    better move and think about my lunch at least!

    have a good day all
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Have been to town and parked free because I know where I can! requires a 'short' walk but I need the exercise;)

    Have cashed in my forints for £ - funny how the exchange rate 'plummets' after my holidays *rolls eyes*, sourced some left handed dressmaking shears for DD from the haberdashers - they've done the window up! It used to be full of bags of bean bags filler, just piled in the window any old how, and it looked a mess. Now they have a 'proper' display with pretty things in. Looks tonnes better. Must be a little gold mine though - it's always full! DD has a list of equipment to take for her GCSE coursework in sewing or needlecraft or whatever it is. It's optional though, but she'll need decent scissors anyway.
    Done a few other errands then came home and pegged out the bedding - all bar the pillow case I dropped then promptly walked on!

    I did pop into Mr. T and got the meal deal for a £5 - it was over £8 individually, so not bad. And there's enough for the GF if she shows tonight. DS wants her to sleep over, in his room, on his birthday. Oh dear...
