    Morning

    I'll add to the 'not on FB' heap please!!

    Rach~ I like that name, hope all is going well.

    My time table has been messed up, and I'm not happy, house guest has finally gone away for the weekend, stating 'I'll be gone by 9am' well 10am and he is gone, OH was going to London and leaving at 9am as well, but now is not going, I WAS gonig to a local auction for 9.30am but now being so far behind, it starts at 10am and gets full of people, so I won't be able to look at the items before I bid, so gonig to fly instead!!

    List 30 items on ebay, been in the loft and found 'interesting items' to sell!!

    Now the beds are no longer occupied, I can strip them.... etc

    Hugs all round

    Hi to any newbies

    Back later.

    I should have pegged my washing out straight away and/or not mentioned the nice weather on here. :( Hopefully it will stay dry at least.
    Have made breakfast for boys, DW is on, WM is on with bedding. DS2 helped strip beds and load WM and I've just read with him. I've decided not to bother with going into town. The market is nice, but I spend/eat too much. If today goes well we might call tomorrow (or DH can take DS2).
    A few more jobs around the house and another piece of HW for DS2, then we're off to costco. I'll hopefully be able to do Mr M's tonight. Can't believe it's almost lunch time. :eek:

    Finally dropped 2 big bags of at the charity shop after the piles have been there for months and months and months. What a relief they've gone.

    Clouding over now - not sure if the washing will dry

    Called in at Mr S and got some winter stocks to tick off my list and some christmas booze items to store away. Also got a chicken for tomorrow and pie and stock making to use up the bones in the freezer. Stocked up on some more half price washing gel so have enough to last for at least 6mths. At least that's one less thing to buy now:rotfl:

    Last year when winter hit the pavements were frozen for months and when it snowed the supermarket had empty shelves and people were clearing the place out. This year I am slowly stocking up on bits and pieces eg washing powder and gels, teabags, tissues, rice, pasta tinned tomatoes :o and bread flour now I 've got the BM out of retirement. I never got to grips with handmade bread unfortunately but I'm enjoying the easiness of the BM.

    Bit of a kerfuffle using the p*nc*ne vouchers in there but got there in the end and paid for more than half the bill

    My ex OH really upset me last night and today I feel on the verge of tears. Need to find something to do to take my mind off things. Think I'll make the ginger cake so kindly posted on here (sexy?) and do some HHI then see if I can get the printer working then thats some more jobs ticked off.

    House is clean, beds remade, blah blah blah
    Wm is still on the go, one more load to go, then peg out on the line.

    Letter arrived from tax man today, it seems my repayment has been rejected by my bank!:eek::eek: and tax man want to know how to repay me!! a very urgent job for Monday to sort out, odd that because the details are the same each year, only this year he owes me and not the other way round and my payments have always reached him.

    Once this load is out of WM, off to the office for a few hours to do a couple of things.

  • Morning - oops afternoon

    Late start this morning as was shattered yesterday but DS is home :D, well he was, he's got up and gone out early to go with his girlfriend as she starts uni so not sure what time he's back. We saw his room again and its more him now with posters he's put up, his playpeople figures and origami :o !!! He's more settled too. It was what we all needed and feel much happier about him going back tomorrow.

    As for today I'm exhausted, cold is still hanging around so might just clean the kitchen (as its last night late tea stuff :o) and then do a food shop once I've done a meal plan and then take it easy in the hope that tomorrow I will feel up to flying.

    Have caught up yet so a generous helping of hugs for those in need xx
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
  • Hi everyone. wm on x 2 and that's about it.

    ((((HUGS)))) fedup. Exes can do that, can't they? Don't let it get you down, sweetie, it's not worth the energy.:o

    I need to prize Mr LW's butt off the sofa; the bed needs changing and the bungalow has to be hoovered, neither of which I can do on my own. He seems fascinated with the cookery stuff in the Telegraph Magazine, however.... *rolleyes*

    *rolls up sleeves and picks up extremely large crowbar*:D:D:D:D:D
