My home is a mess

Cat501

They have the new board! Man is almost here - on past form I wouldn't be surprised it it's the wrong board, but here's hoping!

Helen, and everyone else, what night would be best for you for partying - ie when you don't have to work the next day!!


woohooo - boiler is fixed! It wasn't just the circuit board, there was some kind of switch thing slightly out of position which was causing a lot of the problems. I asked him how countless engineers had missed that over the last 3 years - "No comment!" ie they were all useless!

dishes done, kitchen floor swept, and kitchen windowsill cleared of carp that's been there a looooong time! Found birth certificates (!), Christmas cards I hadn't given out TWO YEARS ago (!!!!) and lots of other stuff to bin. Phoned washing machine man, apparently they are waiting for a part which sounded like "module".

Feeling so lazy now though and tempted to phone in a pizza:o:o:o

eta to add well that's decided it, I am having pizza and wine! &^%**&&* hot water off again!! Same man coming back tomorrow, he'll be thinking I fancy him! :O

Cat - how are you holding on to your temper?? I'd be going ballistic by now - they certainly wouldn't think I fancied them by the time I'd finished with them - well done on perservering with it

Happy birthday to your mum Helen - hope you meant it was your mum's bday!

Just had slice of homemade banoffee pie, it was lovely but I know I'm going to suffer for it!

Feel like a really early night so I'm off to bed now, want to read but can't think of anything I fancy!

hugs all xxx

Good evening!

I am a sucker for vampire fiction although I do read pretty much across the board dipping into different genres!

Well I had to clear the living room table but other that that I have done nothing. The OH is off so he should be doing more in my opinion .

As for partying with the messies a weekend evening would suit me, unless it is over the xmas hols

Rummer- Do you read Laurell K Hamilton? Her early Anita Blake, Vamp Hunter books are good (the late ones just turn into a sex fest).

Sooo today...I was very ill which led to the decision to cease CD. Not to stop losing weight, but I know how hard it's going to be now Got about 5 stone to go . I did a buttload of fleabay listing for work, then came home, had a cuddle with BF and dog, and blitzed the spare room for 15 minutes. Laptop battery about to die so catch up with you all tomorrow!

No I haven't. I have tried all the usual with Charlaine Harris being my fav by far . Currently reading a series by Alyxandra Harvey which is very teenage yet very good!

As for weight I can completely empathize with you, I have a fair bit to lose and it is hard trying to approach it sensibly!

snookey

Hi eveyone feeling a lot better today. Went to Aldie for some bits . Counting the pennies at the moment as spent a little too much earlier on in the month.
Cat hope the boiler is fixed soon.
Iv done just the essentials the past few days so will have to pull my socks up and get the house on course again.
Kids are home tommorrow so OH wont need to take dd to school and dd is happy not to be in.
Messy sorry you have been ill. I know what you mean about the weight Iv a fair bit to lose and its an uphill struggle. Iv fell back into the eating sweets my only vice but a bad one. Back to eating fruit for me.
The night in over christmas sounds fab. Count me in.

I am awake!

Determined today to get as much as I can done in the house especially in the kitchen as my fruit and veg box is delivered today I'm so excited to see what is in it and to go recipe hunting!

Not done much since I got up as my DD is sound asleep and any laundry etc will wake her and I am secretly enjoying having the livingroom all to myself

I will update over the course of the day to let you know how I am getting on
