Yay I've done it! LR tidy and clean, several spiders homes demolished, everything in it's place and it even smells nice Took me half an hour and several rude words to get the sofa cover back on - if anyone so much as farts on it for the next 6 months they're in trouble! Just got a pile of washing to put away in a bit, and dinner to make, then I'm done for the day

afternoon everyone
its been sunny at times here so managed to get a washing out on the line and dried.

cycling (((hugs)) she may not like the job but she could have been a bit nore considerate towards her colleagues in the way she worked/ finished etc - hope you manage to get a better replacement.
sexy well done for getting the post even if only temporary - hope you enjoy it.
hex nice to see you getting peace to get things done - you have been very busy - hope you got your garden time and made the most of it - great result with itunes - well done to you for pursuing it and them for doing the right thing:T
beckyandjack nice to see you popping in
kezlou sounds like you are overdoing things - take it easy and give your leg a chance to recover
pooh well done you - be careful and not get carried away xx
polly I love Cribbs but unlikely to ever be there again as I went with toxic! ooooh egg and chips - havent had that for yonks!!!
socdrawer it was a job well done doing the LR and I am sure now you wont let it get so bad again - just try to keep on top of it.

it was too wet when the gardener came so she will come next week and catch up

new cleaner came and whizzed through some stuff - she did make me smile - she had her MP3 on and was singing away - she was not exactly in tune!

will update my list later

e bay parecl posted. I had charged enough P&P to cover parcels (plus a bit for packing as I am generous with the bubblewrap even though I recycle it;)) and got to the PO to be told it could go as a 2nd class letter for just under £2.00...which means I have charged double what I should have for P&P so have e mailed buyer offering a £2.00 refund. Anything to avoid a slating in the feedback dept.

Have been to Riverside Garden Centre for lunch...somewhere near Hathersage (I think) and then for a stroll around Longshaw Estate with my former colleague. She treated me to lunch for my birthday. They have a HUGE bird table outside the cafe window, by the river (goodness knows what river, I don't!) and I saw a robin, chaffinches, great tits, blue tits and a little mysterious red bird...they thoughtfully provide bird guides so i squinted my way through to identify a nuthatch...never seen one of those before (and feel quite Natty-like telling you all this)

While at the PO I picked up my road fund licence,

Miss H - the cake recipe looks lovely - but I dread to imagine the cost if you followed the specified ingredients. I will have a go with my Maran eggs, and value yoghurt....

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I know - it *really* kills me the way Waitrose over-specify perfectly ordinary ingredients like this. Mine was made with McDougalls SR flour, Sainsbury's basics butter and Woodland eggs from a big pack of 12!

Oh - and apples from the garden, of course. But it only uses 2-3 of them, depending on size....

<sigh> we have 18 apple trees and there are only three of us....
