Hubby not long up, there's a surprise. :mad: There will be words later but why i even bother i don't know.

Because he promised you he'd stick by the rules so he needs to:D

Everybody out here at golf/squash so I'm going to do an hour paperwork sorting and then a HHC on the hall/stairs/landing

For those still missing DIVA here's a song.

morning all - trying to pick up the bits of flying i couldn't do during the week - so the bathroom is next, all vacuuming done so that's good. Even better is the news that oh, having started a new job on monday - first work for over a year, has been promoted and given an office on-site after 5 days! Blimey.

Afternoon all

I've not been doing much flying this week except laundry which just seems to be breeding. Doesn't matter how much I do there is always more there and there's only the two of us :mad: Other than that I've been mainly slobbing it. I'm really tired ATM so I've been taking the opportunity to do very little:o Anyways, today is another day and school is back Monday which means I'm back at my voluntary job Tuesday, but Monday day I have an appointment with the nurse for that wonderful Ladies only appointment I will also need to get my Avon cards ready to put out Tuesday night with the amount customers owe me for their orders which I should be delivering on Thursday hopefully.

So with so much on next week I've decided to fly like a shuttle this afternoon and get as much of the lists done as possible before tackling my ironing pile. I've amended the lists slightly so will post those here and try to update them after each HHC. I'm just glad I've got a tidy & clutter free house enough to be able to do this every so often

gee thanks Dusty :p

Diva By Silvia Hartmann

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The diva strides and flexes lightly
yet her footsteps resonate
and all who sense the ripples

stop

and turn around.

Her power is her freedom
her freedom is her joy
her joy is boundless
like the wind
unstoppable
sometimes soft and gentle,
sometimes like a hurricane
she takes you,
and she sweeps you up
and far away ...

Her laughter owns the sky
and all is at her mercy,
at her touch
of wilderness enchantment,
vibrant lightning
bringing rush of life,
wherever it may strike.

Bow your head in reverence
and pray!

Her smile
as you emerge the chosen one
will raise you,
a breathless moment -

Step beyond,
become immortal
in the mirror of her gaze. [/FONT]

Hi all,

A quick update on DS2. He is home again and basically he just needs to be prepared to dial 999 next time it happens. It could be soon or it may never happen again. Of course we are hoping it is the latter. I think after seeing the consultant he now realises just how serious it is.

jinky Thank you for the lovely poem.

AnW'smum Have a safe journey. We have snow here too but the high roads are all open if that is any consolation to you.

Great news ubamother

DK I will join you in sorting some paperwork as I am home alone too.

MrsChaos

WM x2 on, first lot in TD and DW on 2nd load (still some bits left :eek:).

Have sorted food for everyone (me, DS2, DS1 + friend) and researched all details for our journey later. Fortunately it has stopped snowing and most has melted. Cinema tickets for me and DS2 booked (yogi bear), so we are entertained while DS1 is at the concert - _pale_ at the prices, though (will have to start making popcorn and watch stuff at home or go at cheaper times). I'm looking forward to going now.

Off to bed for an hour, so I'm not too tired later.
