    How did you get on sockdrawer?

    I got distracted by a lovely guy with a gorgeous Irish accent canvassing for the Red Cross
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Completely understandable Hellyboo
    I got the bathroom and downstairs toilet cleaned,
    The pc, phones and printer cleaned
    dusting done in hall along with various declutterings of cardboard etc
    Decluttered desk and put stuff away.
    I kind of ran over a bit, but stopping for a cuppa then off to do hoovering etc.
    Thanks for the HHC :)

    :j Total weight loss has now hit the 2 stone mark. It's slow going, but hopefully this means it'll stay off!
      Oh, and I'll be AWOL on Friday again; Mr LW's got a day's leave he's using up, and we're taking the car for her 50,000 mile service, having a courtesy car while she's in the garage, and moseying off into Northampton for a change.

      Fantastic news about the weight loss LW, keep up the good work:T:T

      Enjoy your day in Northampton, I hope it's a bit warmer for you:)

      Managed to plant out 70 bulbs so that will be 125 to go:o I forgot the carpenter was coming to talk windows so didn't have as much time as I'd hoped for.

      Plan:
      online shop to tweak
      start dinner
      hoover downstairs
      find notes for meeting
      wash glasses for above
      make mulled wine for above
      DS3 to do homework and trumpet


      eeeeeeeeek all needs to be done before 8pm

    • Good evening all :beer: I got a puncture when I was almost at work :( and no time during the day to fix it :( So I got the bus home :j and am now home early so going to tackle the dining ROD (where we've been dumping toooooooooooooo much stuff recently :o ). I've left my bike in an interview room at work, so need to go early in the car tomorrow to liberate it, as I don;t think my colleagues will appreciate having to interview around it :p DS has agreed that we can have a Mother and Son bonding at the weekend to mend the puncture :T (I love having a son and a daughter :T ).

    • I'll join you PenPen,

      unexpectedly home early here, club DS wanted to start going to has folded :mad:, so he's happily sourcing his Santa gift list by cutting out bits of the Christmas gift guides to aid him spelling his letter to Santa.

      right lets see what we can do,

      Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

      Hex - doubled up £40 to get £80 of wine vouchers but I chose all the wines on offer which took me from £150 to £80.94. So, only 94p to pay. 18 bottles should last over christmas (and some!).
      Dusty - think the glass is nearly out...just need to soak it again tonight and then have a rummage!!! Thanks for asking.

      Right, decluttering dogs round the block, then decluttering children to mum's house and then decluttering dad to hospital appointment. Also need to pick up some toys i've ordered at tesco (with the double up vouchers of course!!).

      Right....off I go xx
