    8. Couple of hours cross stitch
    9. Buy printer cartridges online
    10. Buy medium nappy outers online
    11. Get a decent car insurance quote
    12. Sort out skirting board in main bedroom
    13. Buy frontline for cats

    Yes; when Pigpen's tribe give her two minutes to herself, she'll amend Post #1 for this week, and add tomorrow's list to it.:o

    *Hands Juliejim a large Hot Toddy* Hope you feel better soon.

    All done today, list-wise (well, as much as is physically possible for me);)

    Level Two
    Dust those flat fluffy surfaces Done
    Level Three
    Clean windows, pictures, mirrors etc. Done, apart from the 2 Chinese dragon pictures – will get Mr LW to do them later (not safe for me to clamber up there)

    Extras

    1. Wipe woodwork in the living room/s Done all I can access
    I didn't have a lot left to do, but the dragons all had to be lifted down and done individually, so it took a while.:o

    I've also washed Mr LW's favourite jumper, that he was wearing yesterday while he did the sanding, and was therefore all clogged up with dust.

    Just need to go and slice up the nut loaf I've made into portions, and freeze them, then do my Brain Training, and I'm all done til Mr LW comes in for his dins - which is l/o moussaka from yesterday.;)

    Oh, btw Toots, Mr LW always used to carefully avoid my "tasks wanting doing" list - since I've renamed it the Toots List, he's taken an interest in doing some of it.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Oh my.

    Getting the tingles now.

    Can't eat, feel all fizzy inside.


    Haven't felt like this for years.


    Onstage at 7.


    Let the fluffification (makeup, hair, fewer rags) commence.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
