I am sick of looking at washing now... DD2 has just brought down another basket full.. there is another overflowing basket in the bathroom I espied ealier and OH brought our washing down too.. I am NEVER going to get my bed sheets washed if they don't all stop for 5 minutes!!!

Sill got 6 loads to fold. though think it might be 8 now.. Squeak won't have a nap... ooh.. that said she is nodding off in her chair.

Loads of washing done, got a production line going between, washer, washing line, dried washing in, folded and relocated.

Still on with my paperwork, just getting on with it, I will reward myself with a big glass of wine or gnt when finished.:beer:

My van isn't working, hubby trying to fix it.:(

Have relocated the dryer, cleaned the spiders graveyard behind it and sorted some kitchen clutter out.

Boxes of detritus going out the house, we were supposed to do a car boot this morning but we were too tired and I have this paperwork to get on with so there we go.

Tea prepped, I seem to have become locally (as in DD2 and hubby) famous for my potato salad, I've had many, many requests for it so have done a big batch.

Right back to the pile of 'mustgetthisdoneasap' stuff.

Oh also swept kitchen floor, dw hasn't stopped.

This months obsessional obsession is Tupperware, managed to get a few pieces from ebay, just need to use it now.....and my, as yet unopened, Lock and Lock boxes :rotfl:.

BTW, where's Penelope Penguin these days?

I thought you weren't buying anymore stuff until you'd got rid of all your excess and actually NEEDED stuff... I never buy tupperware... I have enough reusable pots from yogurts and stuff i bought years ago (Rachel's dairy used to have reuseable dw & freezer safe pots) that I haven't needed to buy any!

I sent her a message a few days ago on Facebook but haven't heard back. I hope it is to do with her mystery project rather than anything to worry about it.


Toots - best of luck with your mother :eek: Hope you enjoy the concert tonight. Does your new place have a garden?

We have been to Foxton Locks today and had a lovely lunch in the sunshine. We had lunch out yesterday too - an excessive but highly enjoyable start to the holidays for the boys.

Ironing to do *yawns* and I need to get the chicken we were supposed to be having for dinner out of the oven.

Have just sat on the back doorstep and potted up all the little baby aloe veras that have decided to explode from the pot earlier.

I have 35 of them now sitting in the shower room.

Oh, plus I divided my giant spider plant into 2 bucket sized pots and they are threatening to drop the 24 baby plants if I look at them anymore.

And the money plant is straining to get out of her pot and drop shoots.


I have half filled a new raised flowerbed out the back, cleaned half the garden again, taught the cat the fundamental principles of a length of board propped against the shed (fed up of rescuing her), put my latest plants (pink striped & white phlox, hot pink trailing geranium, dark purple & pink trailing fuschia) in a baking tray out in the garden to have a drink & feed the bumbles whilst I psyche myself up to thin out/replant one of the hayracks out the front, sown some sunflowers, moved the greenhouse, made a wigwam for my french beans, manured all 4 roses, built a bumble bee home out of stripped turf, watched the bumble move in about 5 minutes later, done 2 loads of washing, cleaned the kitchen and had a cup of coffee.

If I can be bothered to microwave my dinner, I shall have something to eat, then plan the planting out of the tumbling toms, the yellow toms in the greenhouse and try to find a tray to put my 99p shop cacti on for the bathroom window.

Whoever said this gardening lark was relaxing was flaming lying!



I may just have dinner and go to bed when DD is returned from KH instead, allowing her to stay up and watch SKY+ stuff (to get it off the box!)


I still have so much to do this week.

paulies_nixie

Neeed to have a house blitz next week.
Pick a room any room, they're alllllll awful :rotfl: I hadn't realised how much I relied on sticking to the list and making steady progress and ticking stuff off.
Soooooo next week level 3 and beyond on every room. And some study as that went by the wayside. Blurgh!
anyhoo I've lost a little weight - got into my 3/4 length trousers which are a 16 woohoo

Thanks Toots friend needs to remember she's not a "P.I.T.A" and is a special person who just needs some help occasionally (at the moment) and its always a nice excuse for me to go for a cuppa and a gossip
Hope you have a great time at the concert tonight and that your mum doesnt cause too much chaos

Arrghh I ache. We ran the dogs yesterday and I ran twice. Then went to Archery and did the long course. (taraa over 800 calories though :T)
ran the dogs again today and again I ran twice and then decided to go for a bike ride :rotfl:
everything hurts and I'm walking like john wayne :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: any hints or tips to aid recovery gratefully received
