    Crossed out a few more items on my list above in the HHC, but also spent 15 minutes feeding half the chickens, will do the rest this afternoon as they were only fed yesterday afternoon! Also cleared and cleaned top of the tumble dryer and took some more clothes upstairs to put away later in the process making the living room look clearer. It doesn't look much off the list above, but the window hasn't been cleaned in ages. It isn't perfect, but it certainly looks better!

    I can't believe you missed the HHC MissH!

    Go to take a cheque to the storage place (renewal due, forgot to post last week) or we will get charged £50 per day :eek: will grab a yoghurt before I go.

    Done some washing, drying, folding and ironing this morning whilst catching up with F1.

    Hi all.

    I'm in again this week; many thanks, FCC.:beer:
    At least, I'll be doing what I can manage - not only am I still in a wretched lupus flare (pulled a whole handful of hair out yesterday morning, with the hairbrush:eek: - I'm now almost scared to brush it at all:() but I've now caught Mr LW's cold.:mad: Now, I'm all for sharing, but that's taking it too far, doncha think?:D

    Table will have to wait for its wipe til Mr LW comes home, as the BM is on it at present, because I promised him pizza for dins. Still, that is but a 2 minute task.;)

    I had to get Mr LW to re-hoover after Jay-Cloth was here - he is moulting for England! Still, he was very good (for him), and didn't wreck anything.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    1 x DW
    took out recycling


    I'm late reporting cause it was then DD's lunch followed by putting her to nap. I'm just about to declutter a glass of milk and some chocs and then i'll get the stuff out of the WM and load in the whites. I could also do with taking a tour of the house and getting myself a master list of EVERYTHING that needs doing.

    Hi all, apologies for not getting back on sooner. MSE went down last night so awaited its return eagerly.

    Firstly thank you for all your best wishes and support and curses directed at the theiving gits...re my car.

    Had initially put in a claim for the insurance but decided to sort it ourselves so up early to cancel garage and insurance claim, had phone consult with my doc so thats sorted, arranged to take car to garage and they'll fit the glass themselves for around £50.

    Also need to take a dress back as the zip broke, can't find receipt but can get a print out on my bank statement that I bought it so that should suffice under sale of goods act.

    Hubby taking his car for MOT so we have to liaise re timings of cars etc.

    Wedding was great except I fell over missing the kerb on way out :o ouchy.

    Special thoughts out there for Toots and Lady L.

    Afternoon all

    I'm in this week but working on my list from last week as I really want to see how much of that I can get done before the end of the month.

    Smear test came back normal so that is a job well done

    Hips, knees, back, neck all clicked back into place so I'll see how I go until Friday.

    Have a good day all.

    Have done 1hr 20mins, and only seem to be half-way round my sitting-room....

    <sigh>

    Stopping for lunch, then on again afterwards. I'll feel so much better when it's done.... I think!
