I have been lurking on this thread for a couple of weeks but proud to say this week I have been flying
Thank you very very much, I've been trying to get organised for ages. I am worried that you have been peeking through my windows as your tasks this week have been very relevant to me0 -

yeah I know. Thing is he *might* start finding there is not space to park outside here from time to time.;) and I might well complain (not anonymously) to the company about him (a) making a nuisance of himself with the lorry and (b) not moving it when he was asked to, nicely, once. Because if they start getting flack they may well rethink their system.
Had a marvellous sale on e bay - was bobbing aroung earlier at about a fiver...got a message - would I take a tenner and end the auction - messaged back saying, as it was so close to the end I'd let it run. Went up to £19 then got sniped up to £47 at the end:eek::eek::eek:
and the item in question, electrical was advertised as having some damge and being untested:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
so glad I didn't take the tenner;)Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Good Evening, hope everyone is enjoying your weekend.
There has been no flying here today, as Im still crashed out on the couch. I couldn't persuade the kids that they wanted to help out and tidy their bedrooms but I've decide to take a firm stance on this (well at least till next week) and not do it for them.
So My list current looks as follows:
HHI
S&S Kitchen and Bathroom
DO Mr S shop online
Run Hoover over downstairs.
HHE
Put pictures up in back sitting room and DD's room
look for bedside lamps online.
OH is upstairs putting drawers together in our room, so that should keep him busy for a few hours, if I'm lucky so"Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k.

Piggers :dance: Excellent news re the jolly old debt. :beer: Very well done; onward and upward - you'll feel like a million dollars once the loans and mortgage are gone as well.
Shysarah I'm so glad work was good. See, I knew you'd be fine.;)
We've got a couple of jobs done off the "Toots" list; :Tstuff that would've been difficult for me on my own, not so much because the jobs themselves were strenuous, but because they involved being out in the garden.
Down side is that I keep finding more jobs to add onto the Toots list......:cool:
Get-well vibes for all those with colds or other ailments, and for loved-ones who are not as well as they'd like.
Special vibes for Iggy Pudd'n-Cat.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
