    Lamewolf - hope you got back in ok?
    Thanks, yes, I survived. Did about a quarter of an hour of displacement activity (putting washing away out of the airing cupboard, style of thing) before I went out, but I eventually managed to half-fill the green wheelie-bin with garden rubbish, and was in fact out there for nearly an hour!

    Nearly went into total panic when I could hear next door out in their garden; had to keep reminding myself there's a 6-foot fence between us, and I did keep to the shady bit near the bungalow, so it would have been easy to retreat indoors if it came to it.:o

    Brain training now, then it'll be time to start the Quorn fillets in white wine sauce for dins.;)

  • Evening all

    LW Well done on the gardening :T
    Rebob Hope dog is feeling a little better.
    Sammeill Hope things have been ok for DD and she is able to enjoy her school holidays free from any more hassel from her so called friends.
    Shell2001 Hope you enjoy your child free weekend.
    Pigpen Is it this weekend your at OH's parents? If so I hope you all have a lovely time.

    Well I finnished off the tasks from thsi week list and did a HHI, so Im going into the weekend ironing and washing free but not for long I'll bet.

    OH and I took dogbot for a walk after he finished work today. Dogbot loves the pine woods and all the intresting smells keep him happy for ages.

    OH is off on his bike tomorrow, so as long as there is no rain tonight I plan to mow the grass in the front and the back and do some baking.

    Hope you all have a lovley evening,

    hugs/spoons/sticks to all who need or want them.

  • Hi Flygang!

    Busy day here, end of term and we're now on holidays - me for a few days, DS for 2 and a bit weeks - :j:j

    Had the afternoon weeding at the lottie, came home and caught up on some laundry, de cluttered some 4oD programmes whilst ironing, and now desk tidying. Debating a to do list for the weekend as have a lot I wish to do, but lure of good weather & lottie...hmmm

    Right, another 30 mins on this desk, then its time to turn in,

    night all

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    Just flown round the kitchen, the lounge and the bedroom.
    Put away all the laundry.
    watered the garden
    and put the chookies to bed.

    now got me self a decaff.
    DH is out sorting out the rat problem at the stable yard I'm having lessons at - considering 9:30pm is bedtime round here (due to 5:30AM!! starts for his commute) I'm a little worried about him. I've told myself I wont text till ten thirty.... no honest I wont... well I'll try not to, only 15 mins to go :rotfl:

    On the plus side it's amazing how much cleaning you can do when you're worried about someone :D

    Hugs sticks and spoons all round. I did read the thread but nowt stayed in me head. :(

    ETA: He's home :)
