PIGGERS or someone of equal importance please tell me how to find my list I cant remember:D:money::j;):cool::A
I always copy'n'paste to a Word document, so that I know where I am on it, and can mark things as done as I go, without having to hunt the thread for my own posts (I think you can do a Search for posts you've made yourself).
HTH. From.... a totally UN-important Wolf.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

All plans for today are out the window because baby is being a clingon.. She won't go to anyone but me and OH can't really sort through all the guff in the wardrobe.. so I have baby all snuggled up in my arms snuffling in my ear!.. and if I move she screams!!!!!!
Its in the baby job description!I usually do mine once a year for most of the bungalow; kitchen ones at least twice a year, as they get cooking smells trapped in them. All our curtains were carefully chosen to be machine washable.;)

evening all
Toots hugs honey you sound down xxxx lots of spoons being chucked your way
lamewolf wish I had copied my list into word as I have no ideas about where I left it!!
What I do know is that I have filed and shredded for England this afternoon and ......(wait for it).......... I now have no filing or shredding left to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can also see the top of my coffee table I had almost forgotten what it looked like!
OH went next door to watch the footie (he hates the noise the shredder makes) so I took the opportunity and pulled everything out of the filing cabinet and got busy
Also did a balance transfer too which was another job on my list and in with the filing I found a cheque for £32 which was nice so I have put that ready to post, have also got the hospital insurance plane ready to post later so if I could find my list I could cross lots of things off!!!
Very tired but don't want to go to have a nap as I wont sleep tonight, made that mistake last night
argh just realised I haven't had my antibiotics at lunchtime so better go take them nowGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Hi Al; :wave:
Am back, had a lovely wee break, although I cldn't make use of facilities as AF came early and I am paranoid about going into pool etc with AF esp as I had nothing with me. I did manage to polish off the pink champagne and had a massive breakfast in bed and a chilling dinner last night so all chilled, came home and tidied out mine & DD's underwear drawers, emptied TD & refilled and done HHI. Just gonna have my curry now, see you all on the new thread x:TGratitude is the best Attitude :T
