    Wet and 'orrible here today, but at least the snow has vanished.

    MissA - ouchies, that looks painful. Hope the bruise goes soon, but I am sure your mum will know all the right things to do.

    Shysarah - glad you are managing to cope at work and with the studying as well

    cyclingyorkie - Took me years to finally admit I was never going to wake up one morning with thick hair - my current hairdresser went wild with the scissors:eek: but I have to admit the short cut she gave me is better - just took getting used to.

    Just found the test cert for my sewing machine (I was sure I had a current one) - so don't have to pay for another test:j
    Dismantled an old broken lamp - then realised that it had a very heavy metal base which I can use to weigh down my mini polythene greenhouse when I get it set up :j:j

    OK - back to the books

    Hugs and spoons as needed

    I was advised by an engineer that machines prefer powder, my answer is to add a scoop of soda crystals to my whites loads and towels, they come out extra bright and my machine appears happier, hth.

    sent o/h to MrT's for washing powder - he's learning told him to buy a little box of just Tesco own stuff,(have 6 bottles of ariel), well he came back with the big 40+ washes as it worked out cheaper per wash, bless its only taken 18 years!

    must get off and use it! have about 5 loads to do today!

    Morning everyone.

    Got woke up by people arguing and fighting outside again. My neighbour went out and they scarpered. Consequently had a bit of a lie in.

    Just realised my walk for Breast Cancer Walk is next week so will do some more training later. I dont know where the time is going.

    Jobs for today.

    Wash kitchen floor as cat prints all over.
    HHI
    Already decluttered some more stuff from spare room. Im getting a new loft hatch in there so needs clearing.
    Put clean washing away.

    Miss A Oooh that looks sore. Hugs.
    Toots. Thinking of you.

    Hugs and spoons for those that need them.

    One poorly thumb :( But it isn't hurting as much as it did she says.
    Miss A that looks so painful, I am sure you will need to rest today as you cannot possibly do anythign with a poorly hand, perhaps Master W can do your chores today :D
    Hairdresser was absolutely right though - my hair is too fine to be long, so I have his version of a slightly longer Judy Dench!
    How bizarre I was only just looking at this picture of JD and thinking how elegant she looked, and wondered if the cut might do something for me (fingers crossed). I'm very fine hair too. Oops no I wasnt it was Helen Mirren :o
    Kazm hello lovely - it is good to see you posting xx

    Like wise, I hope you are as well as can be expected for your stay

    Coffee, and Chocolate Cherry cake scoffed. Shopping done and sweatshirt refunded. Just a few things to put away still, doogie to walk then away to mums and then work.

    Hopefully will pop in tonight to pick up a list :eek:
    Mortgage, paid off!

    Anyone know how to get ketchup stains out of clothes???? My children can't find their mouth....:rotfl:

    DW emptied, wm on second load, kids all collected, livingroom all hoovered and dry clothes all gathered up. No chickens at shop so pie instead. Plan is dinner, get kids bathed and then go...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
