    Well I am back from my 4th :eek: visit in less than 2 weeks to that which must not be mentioned!

    Got some extra shelves for Miss A's book case, black out blind (which Grandad has just agreed to help put up :D) and couple of boxes that Nanan wanted. No injuries this time, hotdogs and ice cream for good boys and girls :)

    Did relist and list some ebay stuff earlier, might get a few more bits put on before it gets too late.

    Keep at it - this time of year i tend to be outside a lot and then beat myself up about it, but as long as the main stuff is kept on top of, who cares!

    Same with me, am trying to get majority of the house work done as most probably within a month all my time will be spent down on the allotment. I practically live there during the summer months.:D

    This afternoon I with assistance from OH have scarified both the front & back lawns. Haven'y got any more room in the brown bin for anything else until it gets emptied which is on Friday.:mad: They look terrible at the moment but will hopefully improve. Will most probably have another go next weekend and then leave it so the lawn can recover.
    Just have the ironing to try and get done tonight and then a fresh start flying tomorrow.

    <<<<<grrr>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Machine number 3 is now smelling of burning, they are coming tomorrow to pick it up yet again.

    I so need something looking at me, to make me exercise, I must loose weight.....................
    How about a dog??? :p or sign up for a challenge that requires training (e.g. a marathon walk) or an interactive pedometer that sets you online targets.

    More to the point, what are you doing to these machines to wear them out so quickly?

    Had a lovely lunch with froddy & rach and leo (who is gorgeous and angelic :D) and a nice gentle walk to and from the station. I've just got in an ironed a double flat sheet (my dad hates duvets, so I have to use sheets occasionally) while my work laptop logged on :cool:

    Hope to get the ironing done today, and few other bits, but I'm not planning on doing much as I've enjoyed having a day off from everything. Tomorrow will be a bit of a scramble to get everything ready for work, but it usually is anyway! Won't go for a run today but I MUST go for one tomorrow morning (I have clients to talk to in the afternoon and a meeting at school in the evening).

    LW - I get my prescriptions sent to local chemist - nearest to docs - I am also in MK - I would never in a month of Sundays consider the centre for prescriptions and if they do not have everything in they call me to let me know when it is.

    Perhpas check at your local one

    LW#~ I am free on MONDAY so can I help you out, either by collecting the pres for you and dropping it off, or collecting you and taking you, plus returing you to home base..

    Most of the big supermarkets in MK now has dispensing could you not use one of those or a local chemist for your medicine.

    4 of my free lisiting items on ebay have bids !!!

    Rugby men ccoked that up!!! didn't they, OH has all but broken the sofa jumping up and down........
    Kazw (((HUG))) Thank you, that's a kind offer, but the meds won't be there til Tuesday.:(
    I need to go into town Friday again anyway, so it's not a big problem.... it just makes me so cross that they told me they'll be there, I went in specially, and they were not there.:wall:

    We don't have a chemist on our estate.... not even a shop; apparently there used to be a small shop, but it closed down before I moved here (ie over 9 years ago). Even the GP surgery is 2 estates away! *rolleyes*

    To be fair, it's the first time Superdrug have let me down like this; up to now, they've been very good about keeping my rather unusual anti-d in stock; and I'm used to their pharmacists, which is why I've kept going there (don't care for having to get to know new ones, specially as one of my meds is a "controlled" drug that I have to sign for every time). I'm hoping this will be the one and only time they drop the ball, so to speak.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
