Rach~ sending you good vibes I hope all goes well
Toots~ hope you are ok too.
Hugs to everyone else.
Now drying me out, got soaked yet again in London, glad I go to Soilhull tomorrow, hopefully it will be dry there!!
Last night I did the kitchen and hallway floors, I am fed up of doing everything whilst OH and house guest just sit there, they will help if asked, but it would be nice once in a while if they just did things off their own backs, and I am talking simple things, ie put the rubbish out, get the wheelie back in, put stuff in the DW, empty it when it has finished, feed the cat, feed themselves.............! (sorry to moan, I know some of you have it a lot tougher than I do, but they are really p***ing me off, I even thought about just getting in my car and driving, and driving, but then changed my mind as it is raining, and who would feed the cat!!)Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Living room has been deep cleaned now AND I sorted out the standby saver (again) so that when the sky box goes on standby everything else switches off:D:money:
if I do either the dining room or the hallway next I will have completed a full days list a la Piggers *rubs chin* or I could be ambitious and do them both:rotfl:
Kaz THAT'S why I'm happy my LSB is 50 miles away. I so do not want to pick up after someone else as well - although I could happily do a bin bag dance through his house - throwing away someone else's gibble is a doddle (no emotional attachment, see).
Drive here - we'll go out and get [STRIKE]bladdered[/STRIKE] tired and emotional - and you can take me shopping;)Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

I even thought about just getting in my car and driving, and driving, but then changed my mind as it is raining, and who would feed the cat!!)
Oh I know that feeling! And we have 3 cats!
