    I HAVE FINISHED MY TAX RETURN (yes, I know I'm shouting) but I'm kind of :j:j:j

    Just off to celebrate by replenishing the bird feeders and water, and going on poo patrol. :rotfl:

    After that, I'm going to buy a copy of the "To Do List". :D

    ...slow progress being made on the cooker installation :(. The floor under the cooker had not had laminate laid. So, OH bought another pack - and they've either changed their stock, or upgraded, as it is not the same thickness. So, time wasted returning the laminate to B&Q, and getting some ply instead, and installing that. He's doing the electrical connection now. Fingers crossed.

    Love and hugs, especially for toots, lady-liberty, and lamewolf.

    Don't forget to seal the plywood, in case of spills or accidents.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Well one load of washing in TD and one in WM. :D Also cleaned the loo (cleaner not left in long enough though as Moon came home from shooting, and didn't realise there was loo cleaner in there, as it didn't smell rolleyes.gif - it's an environmentally friendly one that is colourless and doesn't really smell of anything), but will have to put loo cleaner down again before we go to bed, so it stays in overnight.

    Moon is out cleaning off the top of the WM :T, as I complained that he's put so much on top of it, that I haven't even got room to put the washing gel bottle on top of it.

    We've had our main meal (stir-fry and noodles, followed by my Mum's Christmas pudding with custard - I know it's a strange combination :p) as I'll be going to Zumba at 6.15 wiggle.gif, and I won't feel like cooking when I come home (just having a sandwich). It'll be the first time with AF, so hoping all of the wiggling doesn't cause any problems, as she's quite heavy. :o

    I really enjoyed the Zumba class last weekend, and was even brave [STRIKE]stupid[/STRIKE] enough to do a toning class for 30 minutes afterwards animated-smileys-sport-099.gifpushup_smiley.gifanimated-smileys-sport-170.gif. I can really see the difference in my body shape even after one class, and my trousers feel a bit looser too,which is good. :D Hopefully this means I'll have a nicely defined waist when I have the bodice fitting part of my wedding dress done on 20th February. On Saturday, I'm doing a Zumbathon exercise2.gif in aid of our local hospice. It's 3 hours long, and you can do as little or as much as you like (you pay an entry fee), and there are nutrition classes etc too. animated-smileys-eating-drinking-035.gif I've convinced one of my friends to join me for it, as she can't normally make it to the classes due to her baby and her OH's work hours, so it should be good fun. Will be interesting to see if I'm still up for doing the Zumba class on the Sunday evening though, although as I've paid in advance, I will try my best to do so. :money:One of the other ladies there recognised me from the bridal shop as she was in there getting bridesmaid dresses for her wedding at the end of July, whilst I was having my fitting, so there are two of us there with the same motivation which is nice.

    Anyway, enough waffling from me.

    Hugs and happy flying to everyone,

    New lounge door has been cut to size, sanded, hinge areas done, and a hole drilled for the doorknob. I assume it's going well because Mr LW is making weird noises that I believe to be the nearest he'll ever get to singing.:D:D:D

    Afternoon all

    Dad is out of intensive care - yeah!! His Kidney is working well and his pneumonia has reduced by 30% - he still has a way to go though but he is on the turn so to speak!! He enjoyed seing the children but he was very tired so we only stayed about 20 mins. He is managing to eat a small amount but needs to dramatically up his intake.

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone - I'm sure that your collective thoughts and prayers made a difference

    Toots - I'm going to do a "Toots - OMG" list in a couple of weeks!!

    DH is busy cooking a chinese for our tea and kiddies are having a MacD as a treat

    I have done loads of washing today and tumbling so have a big pile of ironing again but intend to get back to some kind of routine this week hopefully

    Yay for your Dad Helen! I'm really pleased he's on the mend and that he enjoyed seeing you all. It must be a weight off your mind.
