Well done on the debt repayment piggers... I'm glad to see you have plans for the money you've been spending on it...

I have my Toots List as well.. loads of major house repairs now I know I am staying here for the foreseeable.

Bay roof being done Sunday and hopefuly the guttering replaced in a week or 2.. then I'll get quote for plastering the girls room and meaasure up for carpet in there.. I have paint but will need lining paper and white emulsion for the ceiling. I also need to get new beds and mattresses for them but they can wait if they have to.

Congrats Piggers, absolutely great news.:T:T:T:T:T

Had the week from ugh again, culminating in yet another bullying issue at my DD2's school, happening daily for at least 3 weeks, anyway, long story short is that whilst she was punched in the face by a bully today, she punched her right back....with our blessing because school can obviously not protect or be proactive re bullying. So there we go, sometimes if you can't beat em....beat em. I do not advocate violence but when for the third time in a week my daughter is surrounded and hurt, so what the hey.


Other than that, managed some flying today,

wm x 3

hoovering of front room, bedroom and hallway.

3 binbags filled and disposed of.

Some cupboards in kitchen wiped down.

A small section of worktop cleared and wiped.

Dining table cleared, old fruit disposed of, rug relocated.

Some washing on radiators, some dried in dryer, all folded and sorted now.

Kitchen floor swept.

[creeps in, limping a bit]

This week, I have -

Played at the club.

Built a set of raised beds.

Made 8 trips to the garden centre for assorted compost, soil and stuff.

Put the assorted stuff in the raised beds.

Stripped manky turf.

Luzzed several million chafer grubs over next door's wall after I found their fag ends over my side.

Repeatedly stabbed remaining bits of not so manky turf and dusted liberally with lawn dressing.

Been given an excuse for being fat - compensatory hypothyroid disease, apparently.

Gone shopping for vast amounts of iodine rich japanese food.

Actually got to watch a gardener's world episode on the second attempt with only half of it disturbed by the same person talking through it who talked through the first attempt.

Planned the veggie bed layout.

explained the veggie bed layout.

gone into garden. Explained the veggie bed layout again as it obviously didn't register on the first or second attempt.

Set the task of putting up 2 hanging baskets.

found the kitchen floor.

Instigated a composting system. Kept to it for 5 days so far.


Done idiot cat's nails for her as she was click-clacking over the laminate.

Stuffed face with sushi and sashimi.

Nailed Stealers Wheel bassline - stuck in the middle with you. :cool:


Debated whether to murder the entire household and run away to the Caribbean. After explaining the veggie bed layout again.


Taken copious amounts of medication as the steroid shot I luckily received last week led to me trying to do everything. So can hardly move.


I have an Ou tutorial tomorrow, so had better look at the books for the first time, I suppose.

That's great, piggers.
Will probably make a difference to keeping the house warm if you get the damp sorted.

Fantastic news Pigpen.

Dd2 who always needs waking during the week always gets up before 7 at the weekend. :mad: So I'm just about to make a cuppa then get the WM going. Then need to tackle the hallway and playroom as we've got an ebayer coming to collect something at 11.

Am determined to get on top of the ironing this morning and work this afternoon.

Out for Dad's 70th birthday lunch with all the family including four 2 year olds tomorrow.

Love and spoons to all.

Morning all Flyers..

Woooo What a week.

Haven't had a proper catch up with the fred but Congrats Piggers thats awesome work.
Hugs, Love and Spoons as wanted/needed.

Well the return to work went well. Yesterday I had more of a proper days work only 4 hours but I was actually working rather than rambling round after the new boss. He was very pleased with my work too so thats good and when at 13,25 he said you can go now, I did. The old me would have found something else to do as leaving early (even a few mins) was just never me but nope not anymore.
We also had a open and honest chat, I was able to tell him I was getting on OK and managing and he was happy too.

Have developed a nasty looking rash on a patch of my neck and my work nurse thinks it is either my necklace from my man and an allergic reaction or an anxiety rash. Sadly I think it might be the necklace. I took it off yesterday afternoon and the rash went down but now it is back on it has come up again.

Anyway,. seeing my counsellor today and then popping to town with my sister and niece. Then hopefully I can finish off my flying for the week and give myself sunday to catch up with my studying and sleeping lol..
