Afternoon campers, a bit late signing in as I sort of lost yesterday.. One minute it was there and the next it had disappeared..:D
Many thanks to those at FCC for keeping us all in checkCount me in this week, although not sure how much will get done. DH has gone back to work after his week off and I am trying not to upchuck everytime I have a cup of tea. Have tried it black too and it still makes me feel ill
Also not too happy as my Yankee Candles are making me feel sick as well when they are lit..:mad: Probably picked up some bug from somewhere.. Might explain lack of energy and then sudden spurts of energy..hmmm!!
Afraid I did the living room today instead of the kitchen as I hadn't looked at the list before I started clearing the l.r. Never mind I can tick it off when that day comes around..
Hugs and spoons to everyone, especially LL, Toots, and LW

The parcels have been posted and i've updated my business accounts. I bought a bottle of lucozade and i feel a bit funny now, probably not the best thing when i haven't eaten properly since Thursday. :cool: Almost time to pick up Ds2 and then i'll do a bit of fluttering i think.0

:wave:Before I forget, anyone seen ShySarah lately?
The laundry basket was empty for an entire hour on Sunday:j until I found a black vest of mine that should really have gone through in the last batch.
I have a new motto: it is measure twice, cut once and even then add an extra 6 inches:rotfl: Having inherited some large, floofy, sofa cushions without covers, I made a cover from a spare piece of denim. I really don't know what went wrong. (Well, I do, really. I should have measured twice.:o) Ruddy thing was 8 inches too short before the cushions went in.:eek: So I'll add an extension to one end of the cover with the last bit of fabric and will not be bothered if anyone notices. :whistle:
Ah, the kitchen. Deep Joy. Will do it on my return from tonight's meeting of the group which I will be leaving on 30th June at the latest.

HAVE YOU ALL FILLED IN YOUR CENSUS FORMS?
Yep, did it online so you can strike me off your list Toots!
My afternoon hasn't worked out as I planned; was going to vacuum etc but it was so nice outside me and DS have been out in the garden - I've trimmed the escelonia/pyracantha (sp?) from the garden at the same time as playing with DS (football/throwing frisbee/filling water bottle for him to water the flowers with). The dog was in the garden too so me and DS have been throwing the ball for her. I told DS we'd be out 1.30 - 2.00 (he wanted to see c:Beebies) but we've had such a lovely time we've only just come inside.
So, next jobs:
* me and DS finish drinks
* off to get DD from school
* do the kids a snack and I'll get my vacuuming done
* do tea (chicken sweet and sour with noodles)
* wash up
Hope everyone's having a good day.Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -

The WM and TD have both been on and OH, who is on holiday this week, has hoovered the LR's and hall."Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k.
