    Good Evening :D

    Thank you to Piggers and Toots and all those supporting staff!

    I have now 2 wonderful looking living rooms as both done completely which should give me a head start on living room day. The kitchen however is a bit of a tip at the moment with the remnant of an early tea. Cottage pie made with lurking veg, leek chopped up instead of onion in with the beef, and parsnip and butternut squash in with the potato. Cleared the veg tray a bit and tasted so delicious I had to have 2 rather large portions so consequently I'm full as a tick :o.

    Welcome to furball - hope you found your way over to this week.

    Toots - lovely to 'see' you and glad you are improving.

    Haribouk - I got a pack of 4 diff colours from Netto

    Soappie - hope Dd feels better soon and that you manage to avoid it.

    This evening I think I will do a normal clean of the kitchen then save the rest for tomorrow so that I can put my feet up. Think I have a hormonal headache again, seems to get me every month so any cures known fire away. (Not asking for medical advice really Penpen just wondering if other people have suffered the same thing and found things that work)

    i'm in again!

    Back improving, but still occasionally reminds me that things are not quite right.

    Managed a trip to town today - took DD1 who met friends, so I had a couple of hours pottering, then met DD1 again to come home together. Twas good, but the sales were pretty disappointing.

    arrived home to roast lamb and all the trimmings. Have stripped the rest of the meat off the bone and done all the washing up! Looking forward to Marple tonight!

    I'm in. Thanks to all at FCC. Back to work on Tuesday so we'll see how much I manage to get done while trying to find some sort of routine again. Clutch's gone on my car today so AA have towed it to the garage so hopefully it'll get done on Tuesday but it depends when they have time to do it - dread to think of the cost though! Means walking to work and back at least on Tuesday though if not for longer.

    Thanks to those who run and post on the thread. I need to be in this week although I have bimbled and cleared quite a few problem areas.

    Juliejim, you know I sympathise......
    Serena - never did get outside but I will try with planting them in the segmenty things in the greenhouse. I did that last spring thinking about it (to stop the birds from taking them straight out again). Hopefully get a chance to do it tomorrow. I have some lettuce still growing in the unheated greenhouse which impressed me.

    Thankyou for the lovely welcome. WM on and DW stacked will turn it on tonight when full. Need to do a couple more WM loads and hopefully can just do one wash every evening and won't have to face a washing mountain again. I don't iron as we share wardrobes and whatever we need usually needs ironing anyway so found out the hard way that its a waste of time to iron everything twice. Need to tackle garden but it's just too blumming cold so a quick tidy of garden toys and sweep decking will have to do for now. Poor chickens could do with a clean out so must get bum in gear tomorrow and sort them, got to do it now i've posted about it, so that's the kick up the bum i need. Hugs to everyone who needs them.
