Dragon. If he's anything like my Dr DH not a chance. This standing on their feet all day in surgery seems to produce a ridiculous appetite!

WM on again. DW emptied and reloaded. Serious filing needing to be done tomorrow. Then decluttering of about 2 stone before 10 May for the big dinner.

So far, I have cleaned the windows in the little bedroom (study)
cleaned my monitor to get rid of some marks that have been there for ages ( cat bottom if I recall )

Ok, that definitely trumps dog nose art!:rotfl:

Dinner has been decluttered, followed by the last helping of blackberry'n'apple crumble.

Mr LW is currently on the WiiFit, and I've got my mini-walker machine going (so excuse any typos, please);)

Should be getting our 2nd kitchen chair back tomorrow night - we let a rellie of a friend of Mr LW have the 2 to refurbish for us.... over two years ago!! and have got one back (just over a month ago), but not the 2nd one yet. It's the last time that guy gets any work from us, you may be sure!

Oh, and I got another £5 Amazon voucher this evening (from online surveys) so we're nicely in credit just now. I do know there's a PC game coming out later in the year that Mr LW will want, so we'll get it effectively for free.;):money:

Signing off now, for tonight - I might just get a quick look at the Telegraph crossword for 5 mins if I'm lucky.;)

pigpen :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:can't stop laughing about the sunscreen. We have an entire drawer. Some of it got to be pre-wedding (2004) And I'm very fair so turn into a lobster at the first opportunity - just as well we live in Scotland. In the past 3 years we've had 2 good weeks in May and that's been it. Not sure much is going to get used this year either!

Right, you lovely people, I am going to join you in the morning and give flying a go. I have printed off the weeks rota so I can get to it instead of logging on and not being able to stop reading peoples posts and the house getting worse! I have upped the anti on bulk cooking and have started to bake again but need to watch the tasting or all the weight I lost will be back before I know it!

Welcome Rebob
You need one of these :xmastree:so our meeter and greeter can send you a pm.

I've been sat on my !!! since dinner. Need to find a new contract and mobile phone but it's a minefield out there.

I've also just found out that I need to go to prison in the morning cos another lady volunteer can't make it. There goes my morning.....
On the bright side - I enjoy it......
Right, I'm off to tidy the kitchen. DH is out in his lycra so i can't delegate - shame.....

you do know it stops being effective after a year or 2 so you need to bin the whole lot don't you?
