    I'm a few minutes late, but I'm in - off now to start in the kitchen.
  • Morning everyone!

    I haven't posted here in a couple of days, but I have got some flying done. I thought I'd better post today as I know what I'm like - I'll drift away if I don't keep posting here.

    I have a little list for today - including one DIY job that could take 10 minutes or over an hour depending on what I find. Also need to hoover everywhere. I've been pushing my rechargable sweeper around every night but the dried bits of mud all over are too much for it to cope with!

    I got some washing out on the line yesterday for the first time this year, though it looks like it's going to be too miserable to do that again today.

    Have a good day everyone. :j

    Joining SW this week.
    I pay £30.00 a month to local beauty salon, for that I get £40.00 worth of treatment, you can pay as more than that.
    I am going to have give that up, as I couldnt afford SW and massage, waxing or what ever else I have have done
    I know that I am lucky I can have one of those, but just wish I had the strength to do this weoght thing with out a class fee, do I sound whingy, I dont mean to.

    Morning All :wave:

    I was busy all day yesterday. Kitchen, living room, stairs landing, and hall all done, just a S & S of the ensuite and the bathroom and am done for the week.

    I am going to collect a microwave I got off freecycle then off to look for a car, the one I have just now is costing us sill money and I prefer the last car that I had.

    Yesterday was DD2's birthday so we had a fairly busy old day.

    We had our Orthopeadic Surgeons appointment and they said they need to operate, when...was up to DD2, as she is in so much pain she decided to go for it sooner rather than later so we're hoping for the school holidays as she'll have both her feet operated on and she'll be in a wheelchair for a while :(. Myself and hubby will have to work out our leave around the time so we can both cover this...bless her, she just wants to be able to dance and is determined to join the police force, that's her ambition.

    So bit of an upsetting day really but we all went out for an 'all you can eat' chinese and she cheered up no end with the unlimited ice cream and chocolate fountain.:D

    Flying wise I managed to filled 2 binbags, I cleaned the bathroom, swept a bit more of the ceiling up from the floor :eek: as the last rain came pouring through the ceiling again...so yet again we're going to have to get the roofing guy to have a look at it.

    Off to collect some plinth heaters for my freezing kitchen, they are on offer at the mo at B & Q http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?isSearch=true&fh_search=plinth+heater&x=12&y=20 if any use to any of you.

    Today I really must, must, must get some ebaying done, its essential really, I have tons to list.

    Also bit more washing and drying and our back garden is filthy. Dump trips await.

    Thanks for reminding me about this song :D Have ruined my NSD to buy it, but so worth it - such a great song!

    seafarers wife - we had 'You're still the one' for our wedding song - we pinched it off my sis as we wanted Aerosmith 'I don't wanna miss a thing' and the dj didn't have it (was a rush wedding, only had about a month to plan and didn't think about it at the time Doh!) x

    Morning all

    I've just skimmed through fred, so (((hugs))), spoons and sticks at the ready.

    DH has borrowed a ladder to fix the drainpipe outside the kitchen window. :T So far the weather is too miserable to clean the window, though.

    My little list:
    bake cake for friend's birthday and take card etc round (lives on same street)
    HHC
    finish laundry (1 load needs drying and there's one more to wash)
    finish DS2's homework
    school stuff - to-do list first so I can prioritise (WIP)
    phone restaurant in Germany for quote
    tea
    put tomorrow's tea in SC
    unblock drain in back yard

    I'm sure there's something I've forgotten. Breakfast for teens now (DS1 had friend sleeping over and they are actually awake :eek:).

    Have a good Sunday, everyone. x
  • back from HHC - kitchen tidied DW emptied and reloaded.

    bathroom done ,towels changed,floor wiped window open .

    washer loaded just need to go round house and check for any bits to go in befor setting off.

    just need to get dresses as DS3 want to buy new phone and we need some bread and few other bits.

    hugs to all.
