    been to dentist - clearly my dentists were channelling JJTTF's hospital staff - we had to wait for AAAGES to be seen - watched ALL Cash in the Attic and spotted a local dealer in the auction room (Auction was at Derby - many many years ago I had a stall on the local Flea Market in Valliland) and correctly estimated a few treasures and predicted something would sell above estimate;))
    Much as I love these shows I don't have time to watch them so I don't, normally.
    Am all inspired and shall fling some stuff up on Flea Bay tonight, methinks

    I've had soup (from yesterday - was lush) as has DS who announced that 'this chicken's a bit odd' - that'll be because it's gammon - gammon? in soup? so he's channelling Peter Kay and his penchant for odd combinations then:rotfl:
    Played the washing hokey cokey and put some ironing away

    going to walk up to the post now and fling my winning crossword entry into the post.

    Then I'll wash up.

  • My updated list :) Im back to work today for 4 hours a day on a phased return. I do still have another 3 weeks left of my fit note but work are bugging me to go back so im doing it my way or not at all. So 3 days this week, then 4 days next week then 2 weeks off (in which im getting married), then 5 days a week for 6 hours a day gradually building back up to full time hours by mid april. the cortisone injection i had last week has worked wonders, im still sore but moving a heck of alot better than i have been.

    Made DD's bed throwing the cast of just about every disney film on top
    Cleaned bath, sink, loo, toothbrush holder, picked up DD's bath toys from all over the floor, binned empty bottles and loo roll tubes, arranged stig nicely and added a new bar of soap
    emptied dryer, folded & put past, emptied water from TD, cleaned fluff out, refilled TD, switched on
    emptied wm added dryer stuff to the dryer and hung others on radiator, refilled WM using the last of the soap powder and softener with stinky overalls and switched on, washing basket now empty!

    Off for some caffine and nicotine then I'll hoover the loaby, stairs and landing.
