Plant bulbs

Nice productive afternoon, BR all sparkly again, not changing bedding yet as only did this on Monday. LR all clean and tidy and spare room tidy. House looking better now presents all away and with new owners and decorations all tidied away! Nice long walk with the dog this afternoon where all dogs we met were hyper including mine! What are they tuning into??

2011 To-do list and it will get done!

Clear out guttering and fit gutterpillars
Get some wire netting for draincover

buy paint for kitchen and door
refit curtain pole
Sow winter salad
Tidy up the garden
Set up cc repayment plan starting Jan and add in 3mths council tax payments until starts again in 4/11 - WIP

Dusty's Idea of Things I really want to do in 2011 other than flying list

1. Visit local attractions eg sculpture park and nostell priory
2. Arrange a monthly day out with mum eg local attraction in mums area
3. Decorate aiming for 1 room hoping for more
4. Clear out cellar and put in spare freezer, shelves for preserves, move TD in there and store household items and stockpiling
5. Take down rotten shed
6. Get a greenhouse
7. Increase running mileage to half marathon level (6mths 0 to 6miles June 10 - Dec 10 now Jan 11 - June '11 6 miles to 12 miles aiming for 1yr progress level)
8. Invite family over for meal at all occasions and maybe every month or 2
9. Preseve seasonally

That'll do for a start

Just dashing in - DS has made meatballs in tomato and veg sauce and DD has made tiramisu, for friends coming over tonight :j DH is laying fires and I'm "getting ready" I'll open some wine soon, and we have Prosecco for later :beer:

Fedup - how about a Flylady meet at the Sculpture Park There's a great cafe - well there was last time I went, which was about 6 years ago

Hugs and spoons as needed :A

Hi all

Well, now that I've hoovered up the myriad dog-biscuit crumbs, all of today's list that is relevant here is now done. Max went home at quarter to three; we're dogless tonight (will take the opportunity to do a towel wash on cheap(er) leccy), then Benjy will be here around lunchtime tomorrow.

Toots and Triker and anyone else with lurgies and whatnot, take care of yourselves, stay in the warm and get rid of the nasty germs.

Helen hopefully your Dad will start to recover now; sounds most unpleasant for him, but here's hoping he's on the road to better health.

Aunty Jenny:D congratulations - good to hear of a safe arrival.

Mr LW and I first heard about the stabbing at the pub yesterday - apparently some bod from one of the local rags rang the local CAMRA chairman to see if he knew any details (not sure why they'd think he would, but hey ho), so he'd mentioned it on the active members' e-list, in case anyone else got contacted (we used to be on the committee, so our contact details would be in back issues of "Beer Moos") but it wasn't certain then who the victim was. It's a real shock - Jaime was a really nice chap, and a superb cellarman; he and Emma were always happy to welcome well-behaved dogs into the pub, too. I dare say more details will emerge in the fullness of time; but what a horrible end to the year!:(

I can't remember what's supposed to be for dins tonight, so I'm off to consult the meal plan spreadsheet now.:o

ETA It's jacket spuds with cheese.:drool:

For all of you waiting with baited breath here is the latest news re; Dad

He did have some stones removed but 1 was too big! The stent has been put in to bypass that stone, a small section of the gall bladder was removed for testing and if there is anything wrong with it they will remove the Gall Bladder, bile was also removed. If he is ok over the next couple of days he will be able to come home providing he does a bit of walking about when home to up his blood pressure [DS is already planning a round of Golf lol] He also has to have follow up App's with his Doc - he WILL NOT be seeing the Doc he was seeing before!!!!

Once again THANK YOU to all who have thought of him, myself and our family over these last 2 weeks - your support has been invaluable to me.

Sounds good to me as I think its only about 15 - 20 mins away from me

Last time I went I was at school so it was many many years ago

Will have to be a weekend though as not much time off left now until Apr

Anyone else close by?
