    Hello all,

    Just returned from a lovely catch up with LadyL - I passed on your hugs juliejim, but I missed yours serena (hope you're well) - I expect she'll pop on here later at some point even if she doesn't post though, so I'm sure she'll see it. We chatted about all sorts over coffee, so hope she's not too tired.

    Well I'm off to do a bit of filing, as my payslips that hadn't come through the post have just arrived, so I can throw out some timesheets that have been cluttering up the stairs.

    I've also had a letter through from the travel agents to say that our flight out to Jamaica is now an hour earlier, so we get an extra hour in the sun, so it's a good job we haven't booked a taxi already.

    I managed to put the washing away that I referred to earlier, but didn't hoover, so will run round with that whilst my jacket potato cooks for lunch. It's cold and drizzly here today, so I need to keep moving to keep warm (I may put the heating on in a bit, but will see how it goes with the housework first).

    Ebony is exactly where I left him this morning (fast asleep in the middle of the bed). I expect he'll be there until around 4pm when he gets up to have his dinner, as he never moves much when the weather is rainy. Good job it's not bedroom day today. I may whip around in there with the duster later anyway, as that doesn't make a noise (he's terrified of the hoover).

    I heard from Natty when I got home, so she'll be popping on at some point today to catch up with the thread too.

    Have a lovely Birthday Ajmoney.

    Don't work too hard toots - love to you as always.

    So far I have stayed out of bed:T:T as I actually slept last night when I did get to bed plus have a meeting at the school tomorrow with DS1 so I better get used to it:o

    So far today I have knocked a bit of my list. WM, TD, fed myself(2 boiled eggs and soldiers if your interested!), made a start on the bathroom, washed LR floor again!, replaced the cushion covers that I washed yesterday, smashed a glass (Jinky will be pleased) and generally run around like a headless chook.

    4. Throw out any oven trays beyond their best.. peeling non-stick coatings are really bad for you!! All OK – checked a couple of weeks back when we cleaned out that cupboard
    I am so glad I did the kitchen "basics" yesterday, as I'm feeling really rough again today.:( Haven't even got dressed, which is not like me.

    Have managed to put the BM on though, and made our Shepherd Spy, half of which has been eaten, the rest is for tomorrow night.

    At least all of Level 1 is done, and some of Level 2; I'll have to see how I get on for the rest of the week. Tomorrow may be a wash-out as I'll be exhausted from visiting the GP at stoopid o'clock (07:00).

    Dancemum I'm so pleased the kitty-cat turned up safe and sound.:T

    Mrs Chaos did you find out who owns Small Cat? Given a similar situation, I'd be inclined to turn to the Cats Protection League for help.:o

    Ajmoney have a lovely birthday.:beer:

    Mr LW will be finishing work in just under an hour - I wonder if I can persuade him to do a couple of tasks off the list..... hmmmm...... what can I bribe him with.....:think:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
