urrghhh the pilates woman is trying to kill me!!!
20 mins pilates and some wii fit - that better count as HHE or I may collapse :rotfl:
But hey I've done it - yes I now look like a blondey beetroot but it's good for me and stuff.
I've got laundry to put away but DH is hiding from dogs in the bedroom to conf call for work (car tyre pancake, wont be taking him to work till it's fixed) so i cant get in there.
Food out the freezer for tea and lunch.
house isnt too bad but it will be major blitz tomorrow and sunday morning before the mums turn up... these things always sound like a good idea at the time!

Also need to get cat to the vets or at least arrange for it to happen very soon as we are strapped for cash and blue cross say we are no longer eligible. **groan**

he keeps peeing everywhere (its a stress related condition) which is partly why i am so behind on all my chores this week as the minute something is clean, he pees all over it I have found a new way to clean my floors which seems to be doing a fab job and not requiring me to get the bucket out each time so much easier for as i get bigger.

really need to get cracking but i am actually supposed to be working from home today but my head is blank and i can't concentrate as the place is so abysmal. need to do one thing or other... and quick!

[STRIKE]Also need to arrange a repair that the HA are saying is a tenants responsibility even though the reason the repair is required falls under LL remit. They had promised us to make good (as they always do) but it never happened and now the problem has become quite dangerous (this aside from the bug problem that arose as a result of this issue) so I am desperately trying to chase this only to be hit with a brick wall every time. **sigh**[/STRIKE]

One of mine is senile I am sure and has started peeing everywhere.. he is 12.. he moves place every so often.. I have the air fresheners with motion sensor so when he goes to pee he gets squirted.. he doesn't like it... but I don't like the peeing.

Baby changed and OH is going to dress her while I wash my wig and we are away to buy bunny food... and coo over the baby bunnies

TD refed
WM refed

And the nosiest neighbour in the world is moving today.. whoop-de-doooooooooo .... I don't even talk to him he is so incredibly nosey and wants to know all your business.. I tell him nothing so he isn't intersted in talking to me any more... I am dying to know if KH is going to his 'party' tonight though.. ooh.. does that make me the nosiest neighbour in the street?! PMSL!

ok, so I finally moved and have decluttered a cup of tea and washed some dishes and put away some stuff

And been on the phone to the council AGAIN. My HB claim is STILL not on the system:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: its all very well them saying it will be backdated to the date of my claim, but that doesnt help me pay the flaming rent NOW does it?

Its coming up for two months now I have been waiting:(

Afternoon all

Washing blowing well on the line. Living room full with fridge/freezer and new cooker. Space left for table and chairs to go in later. Packed for holiday. So tomorrow morning it's : keys to builder, cats to cattery, pack car, go away. I'll be around the rest of today and then not again until next weekend.

I've done all the normal cleaning this week, just not on the days it said but there's no point doing much else today when everything will be covered in dust next week. Well, that's my excuse.

Hello Flyfriends.:beer:
I feel a bit of a fraud posting today, as I got my lists all but finished yesterday (suspect “me”-time will have to be slotted in over the weekend).:whistle:

Boddy big (((HUGS))) I know Sunday will be difficult for you; posi-vibes coming your way.

Kazw I'd be telling the Freecycle jobsworths to poke it up their posterior, if that was me.:mad: But how lovely about the eternity ring. I'm hoping Mr LW might get me one for our 10th anniversary – I still have two and a half years to wait, though.;)

AnW's point taken about having some pj's in an accessible place – but Mr LW says he can lay hands on them in half a minute flat, and I feel that fetching them downstairs will prod Coyote (the Trickster) into action, and I would end up having to go to hossy, iyswim.:o

Dippypud loving your Grandad's fave curse. Can I pinch it too, if I need it?:D

Onestep home delivery doesn't work for me; I don't do online grocery shopping – I don't trust 'em to send the right stuff, and not to send stuff that's right on it's use-by date! Plus, I often remember things that should've gone on the list on the way to the supermarket. We have it sorted though – I'm going to rest (ie do sitting-down tasks);) this afternoon, we'll go as soon as Mr LW is home from work, and bless his cotton socks, he's going to cook us egg'n'chips for dins:A while I put the stuff away.

Happy Birthday to Dusty's DS2.:bdaycake:

Jinky ooh, weird dreams – I'm well familiar with them. :eek:Had a horrible one, where Mr LW was being really awful to me, sarcastic, finding fault, and basically didn't love me any more. I've had that a few times. Dunno what that's all about. Just hope it's not prophetic.:(

I'm feeling a bit weird myself today – bit tearful, and I can't work out why. *Thinks * Maybe because it's brought home to me yet again that I'm an outsider; I can't even relate to the Mother's Day/Mothering Sunday things.

Although that said, I do wish everyone who is a mother a grand day, everyone who is entertaining their mother a similarly grand day, and everyone who is remembering happier times when Mum was around a peaceful and serene time.:o

Gonna push off and find something useful to do now, before you lot think I've totally lost it.;)
