    Good Luck Jinky

    DW, WM and TD all on, clothes gathered up from all over the house. Now waiting on the doctor to ring me back. Suppose i should make a start on the back hall and utility room, then i can sort the washing into piles.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    good luck jinky.

    am cleaning the oven's removable filter - it smells horrible, but it is coming clean (slowly bubbling pan of water + dishwater tablets!)

    Not much point in having a clean oven if i don't do this is there?

    2 more days....I can't wait! Kids at school are seriously off the scale at the moment ......

    Grey and damp here - just what I didn't want.

    I noticed a binbagof stuff in the garage yesterday - so have sorted it today......over 50% of it was important stuff. It must have been shoved out there before DD2's sleepover last December...

    DD2 has to wear yellow for school because the air ambulance is coming in. Had a rummage and have found a summer dress so she will probably catch pneumonia.
    :eek: Hope you put a long sleeved T shirt underneath or that the ambulance is still there when she comes down with it! Actually you can't get pneumonia from being cold it is either bacterial or viral :p;)
