    Well I started to write a reply to all of you but the computer ate it. So I am just going to say HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD DAY WHAT EVER THEY ARE DOING!

    DH said as we were going out the door ' why don't you stay at home and catch up with some jobs and I'll have the brood at the allotment' Needless to say I jumped at the chance and will be working in 15 min slots to do the washing, DW, down stairs loo and hall. If I can get a loaf in the BM then that will be a bonus.

    So off I go and set the timer :)

    Happy Birthday NPM have a good one:beer:
    Miecherox how awful (((hugs))) hun hope things get better

    Just a quick tidy as I did all my cleaning yesterday. Need to get the little room complete today for DGS who is staying overnight. I may be the first on the daily as he likes to get up with the lark and with the lost hour it may be about 3 is:D

    Looks fine but a bit breezy but DH will still get out in the garden. Going to put our windowsill seeds out in 5 tier grow house but keep an eye out for frost or they will be back in again. Also need to make a meat and potato pie today for tomorrow. Tea will be chilli and rice.

    Have a good Saturday x

    Miecheroux, what a load of t*ssers your boss and his wife are. I am glad you have the union on your side and I hope you can sort it out with out to much stress. ((((hugs))))

    Right first 15mins done. Washing sorted and folded of the airers. Load out of machine and on the airers. Next load in. Washing down from the top of the stairs where everyone has been dumping it, new habits need to be taught me thinks. Sorted into piles ready to go into the machine. Sprayed the down stairs toilet with stardrops ready for me to get in there and clean in a minute. Though I may empty and fill the DW first.

    Morning OSer's,

    Hugs to all who need one or in fact want one :D

    Weather is grey here,after days and days of lovely sunshine. I was planning a day in the garden but looking out of the window...Eeekkk,i think not,maybe tomorrow!

    I've been working lots so havent been here for a while...withdrawal!!
    Lots has been happening in HoneyBee land. Like i said working lots and getting more training in new areas,all good for the cv :)
    Things have completely ended with 'New Fella'.He turned out to be very jealous and possibly controlling too i'm not waiting to find that bit out. Cant be doing with it,i have many male friends and cant handle an overly jealous partner!
    Been keeping busy with many social engagements.Seeing lots of friends at the moment which is always nice and with the good weather coming we are making plans for trips etc with and without children!

    WM needs to go on,theres dusting to do and hoovering and....actually b****r it! Im gonna stay right where i am for a while and have a lovely lazy morning with DD.Kettle is calling :D:D

    Hope you all have lovely saturdays and weekends! Will be lurking so i may pop up here and there!x

    Well, not done so much this 15 mins. Emptied and filled the DW. That is not quite as easy as it sounds as the DW is up on a work surface due to space limitations. So I have to get a step ladder empty the top basket on to the door and put away and then empty the bottom basket onto the door and put away. To fill it I have to put stuff on the door and then up the step ladder and put it the baskets and keep repeating until full.

    Cleaned the loo in the downstairs toilet. Started moving the cleaning stuff off the windowsill as I noticed that the window area was compleatly taken over with a thick cobweb. Picked up a box and the biggest spider you have ever seen ran up my arm. Needless to say I screamed like a girl and brushed it off and it landed some where on the floor, I think. I got out of there and stood shaking like anything. Just calming down now. Don't think I will be going back in there for a while <shudder> Oooh! I feel sick.

    Ruby, what are cheesy nabs?? sound intrigueing :)

    Good morning

    NPM Happy Birthday flowerysmile.gif

    I have cleaned the kitchen this morning (including the cat puke from under the table), I am about to go outside and stain/weatherproof the new decking. I also need to make cakes today too as the complaints department has been muttering about the lack of goodies.

    The cream masonry paint seems to be wearing off the black cat - it spends a lot of time rolling in sand, sawdust or whatever else it can find anyway, so no doubt that will help.

    Hester I'd be inclined to leave it too. If she's taken a dislike to you for whatever reason she could just make things very awkward in the future. Hopefully the next set of children will have a different SW.

    Miecherox Hugs. My boss was horrible to me too, which prompted my decision to manage on my widowed parents allowance and MOD pension. I'm officially on a career break, but I'm hoping they make me redundant before I'm supposed to go back.

    Take care all of you

    Washed up BM tin, rescued the blade from yesterday's GF loaf, BM now on and doing it's job.

    Started clearing the hall of all the stuff that gets dumped there, new habits to be taught again :).

    Emptied the WM and filled it. Will hang the washing in a moment.

    Hope people don't mind me putting my lists up of what I have done. It just keeps me motavated to carry on.
