Hi Everyone :wave:
I hope you are all well, thanks to the usual lot at FCC for the lists etc. I have been occupied with other things over the last few weeks – namely:-
Jury Duty, (soul destroying, I felt like bursting into tears each night coming home)
Getting in contact with a half sister and brother who I have not saw in over 30 years!! (We all had the same birth mother but were all brought up with different people) so a whole new chapter in my life is starting, I have now gained a big brother and a big sister, sister moved from Englandshire in February and now stays 2 mins round the corner from me, how unbelievable is that???!! So now my DD has 3 new cousins at school with her….phew!!!! J (Sorry if not flying related but just explaining my absence)
I am also off to Las Vegas for my cousins wedding on 8th April!!! So I have been busy trying to get sorted for that, and my ironing pile is sky high, that’s taken a back seat but it will be HHI with Hollyoaks tonight J
Well I was up early this morning but never logged on or I wouldn’t have shifted, instead I cleared the LR & done all the glass cleaning and swept the floor, including under the furniture so lets see what I can cross off the list.
Grab a stick/spoon/hug if you need one, special love and hugs as always to Lady-L & Toots xx

Afternoon all
I did have two loads of washing out but it's pouring with rain now so it's back in the basket. I'll sort it out when I stop fuming. Do they ever get the forecast right?
Living room etc done and I've also done the kitchen/diner. Packed away a few more things from the kitchen cupboard but I'm just about at the point where I've only got the stuff left I use all the time so that will have to wait until later next week. Blind man coming to measure up tomorrow. Still catching up, hope everyone's OK.0 -
Afternoon everyone, and thank you to FLC for the lists and the thread.
Little late starting today as I was pootling about potting tomatoes and peppers, but I'm definitely in this week.
Not caught up with fred yet, just away to do that before I get started.

As completeing the list I have also washed down all the woodwork in the hall/stairs and landing.
Washed leather couchs in both LRs twice thanks to dogbot thinking they looked better with muddy paw print pattern all over:mad:
OH is off today and has put new headboard on the bed and taken the recycling to the recycle centre.
Plan now is to have some lunch and then hopefully go out and plant up the containers in the garden. I also still have the DVD and CD's to bring down from our bedroom and put away but knowing me I'll continue to put this task off for another day.
