    Tooc~~ sorry to hear that, I would suggest keeping your eye on ebay in case any of it turns up on there, and if it does phone the police.

    HHI done and put away, all laundry from the rope also folded and put away. WM on, DW almost full, bleaching cloths in the sink, now sitting watching eastenders. No lunches to make up as school/nursery on holiday :j

    Tooch - I hope you get a result soon, thats awful, I have heard that a lot of insurance companies will not insure tradesmens tools which is terrible x

    Enjoy the rest of your evening, off to see if ebay buyers have paid so I can post parcels, catch you all tomorrow x

    Tooch - sorry to hear what has happened. I hope things turn up for you, or turn out better for you. Hugs indeed sent flying over bigstyle

    Pen - I felt so tired this afternoon at work, I came home and ate a lot of sweets instead of tea to self medicate for some reason. Not helped really as the exOH brought round 3 boxes of sweets last night for a present. Is trying to put weight on me? Ate the chocolate nougat and bag of torpedoes. Putting the box of Thorntons out of the way for now as feeling a bit too full of sugar now. Good job I went for a run this morning.

    At least I've cleaned the LR now, not hoovered as the filter is still drying and it was done yesterday, it'll only take a few mins to complete later in the week

    Washed up all pots and put this mornings away, shopping put away and washing brought in off the line. Also put the laptop on a full system scan after discovering I'd only been doing a little scan by accident for the last few months. Has been going for nearly 3hrs now and nearly up to 800,000 items scanned

    Rang around for some new tyre quotes and looks like they will be between £125 - £166 for slightly higher spec ones. Just deciding which ones to go for over the next couple of months before the MOT is due.

    Better update my list now

    Hello folks, I'm back.
    Many thanks to FCC; I'm rather glad it's an "easy" start this week, as I'm struggling today - Mr LW has gone back to work, so of course the BD has come in to keep me company.:(

    ETA Panic not Toots; Mr LW had last week off as he had to use up some leave, so I was officially on holiday.
    LW thats ok then - I was wondering!!!!! Now get rid of that BD and get back on track - you might have missed important things on here!! NO its ok you havent missed Valli's wedding:rotfl:

    Valli I hope you have let your housework slip in favour of LSB - thats shocking:rotfl:
    xxJoxx you could easily copy your list over to the beginning of the new thread each week - we want to see how much it is shrinking too!! xx
    Hellyboo nice one with the hair cut - enjoy it:D

    Can I make a suggestion --- Today is 11 yrs since my aunt died from breast cancer, maybe a breast check could be added to the extras as a reminder..
    Shysarah HRH pigpen is very good at nagging us about check-ups so I am sure she will add that to the list. Hope you have happy memories today.
    JoJo good to see you posting again and from your new abode - you will get there - get all the boxes in another room if you can or delegated to the proper room and work away at it - the kitchen is the most important so try to get that the way you want it first - then the LR so you have somewhere nice to crash! I hope you will be very very happy in your new home.
    toochoosey awh angel thats terrible news for DH - a tradesman's tools are his life! I cant offer anything else that the others havent already but we are here for you - if there is a car boot or market around you this weekend I would go have a look for them! huge (((hugs)))
    PenPen (((hugs))) its very tiring and depressing working in an atmosphere like that.

    Had a short phone call with a nice friend:p:p:p:p
    then I went into town and posted an ebay that had to go spec del today, got some veg and after tea I have made a pot of soup - the house smells lovely:D
    DW is on
    washing brought in and is finishing off on the airer
    phoned Auntie

    will be heading to bed soon so love and hugs to everybody but especially LadyL and Diva

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    Sorry BD is bothering you. Have you seen the TV trailers for a new animated film out in cinemas soon about wolves called Alpha and Omega? That might shoo BD away with her tail between her legs x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
