    Evening all,

    Tonight i have ironed ironed and ironed.
    DM is coming to stay on Thursday to cat sit. We go away on Friday until Sunday to stay at a vineyard in Glos (I think?) with MIL,FIL,BIL and his wife.
    Tomorrow after work, I have to vacuum everywhere and tidy the spare room.
    Thursday after work, I have to change the beds and do the bathroom. Oh and pack!
    Thankfully, DM won't be here until DH gets home from work cos he picks her up from the station.
    Can't believe that it's February and this weekend away is upon us.
    Off to bed now. Have got a most peculiar pain in my lower back except it's not like back pain. i can only describe it as feeling wobbly? Weird.
    Happy flying - night night
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    Lemanie, LittleMissHappy and Mumof2 how did you get on.

    In my HHC, I changed the oil in my deep-fat fryer, changed the foil in the grill tray.

    Also put away the TD contents and refilled it.

    Kettle on, who wants what?... and cake or biccys. :T

    Hi :wave:

    Sorry, got waylaid......Anyway, my HHI turned into an hour and I did dinner as well. Doesn't sound like much but got half of my ironing done (there is alot :o)....

    My Dh is going away tomorrow until Sunday :( I hate it when he goes away, I really miss him. On the plus side, I clean like a demon when he isn't around, so the house will be spotless and I will be twiddling my thumbs for more stuff to do by the end of Friday! (I will also be doing alot of running!)

    Hope you are all well, haven't had a chance to catch up with the whole thread, but reading as much as I can xxx

    For our friends up North, from the BBC Weather forcast site.

    Wednesday 2 February

    WEATHER WATCH

    On Thursday in the Northern and Western Isles and the west of mainland Scotland there will be heavy snow showers and icy roads during the morning with gale to severe gale force winds. Most of the snow in western Scotland will turn back to rain but with further snow showers for the Highlands and Islands and the winds remain very strong into Friday morning

    Please take care. Winds forcast over 80mph. :eek:
