Well, it's taken me til now, but I've managed a few little tasks.:o I think that's my lot though - and I suspect the amount of time I've spent having to rest today pretty much takes care of the rest of Level One for Friday.:cool:

Looby the National Glass Centre sounds fascinating; I Googled it, and sadly it's too far for us, though.

Valli ooh, hodgepigs... I love them!:D We had one decide to sleep in the carport, under the car one time; he protested loudly when Mr LW moved him in order to get the car out (well, we didn't want to squish him). They have surprisingly loud voices!

Jojo.. I spend about £500-£600 a months on scrannage for us 11.. more like £1000 since we acquired DS1 lol.. For the 2 of you i'd be aimin for a maximum £30 a week.. cos I'm tight!!! that includes their HRH's

Thank you!

I'm not counting on the DLA being renewed, after all so many people are having theirs refused until Tribunal, so I am trying to preempt a considerable drop in income from June. I've already had a medical for the last 3 years' award, and the woman I spoke to on the phone said it's unlikely I will have to have another medical when I've already had one - but they can say anything on the phone, can't they?

So I was trying to work out how much I should be spending on living expenses (food, cat fud, litter - still not got the hang of waiting until morning to go out), as I haven't lived hand to mouth for many years. And of course, like most people, I have things I will be prepared to maintain until the end - in my case, rather than beer or fags, it's the bass lessons (which are cheaper per week than the others anyway).

Valli

Well I have made a start on the bathroom - towel rail polished (it's chrome) shower screen cleaned, bath cleaned.

Been to docs. A nurse was available so I was examined. I am lump-free and all appears normal so I shall just keep an eye on it - Doc said it might be a twitching nerve. At the very least though a twitching nerve where I *may* have a twitching nerve is disconcerting.

I'm off out toniight for an evening stroll here - aren't I lucky to live so close to this? Meeting two of my oldest friends.

Dorastar

Not done so much but have been at work all day in EXTREMELY dull meetings - going to get icklies from nans soon and get started on some stuff.

List still too long to even put on here and it's a bit sunny to be shifting furniture and hoovering atm. Long weekend should help get through stuff and give time for exciting school work too.

Many many years ago my father had cattle, and he used electric fencing to keep them in an unfenced feild, this fencing ran off a battery thing, and to test if it was working, you held a piece of grass to it and watched it bounce, or you got your sibling to grap hold of it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: telling them it was off.................:o:o (of course I could never dream of doing such a thing)

We used to use the cutlery when we were camping...:o

Are you at home on Monday? I might be passing...

DS2 minced and doused in flea shampoo.. dyspraxia and haircuts do not mix well .. DS3 showered.. he had hysteria because he thought I might cut his hair too... Aspergers and haircuts do not mix at all!!! lol.

Kitchen floor mopped for the first time this year.. there you go cycling if I can do mine you have no choice lol.. I filled a binbag of rubbish just from the floor!!!
Worksurfaces all shiny.. I made Dobby do 2 of them
Units and appliances all scrubbed and sparkly
Sink bleached to within an inch of its life.
Filled bits are sanded and painted.. took a whole 10 minutes literally, and I've been putting it off for 18 months *shame*

DD1 looking after chimps tomorrow and OH and I are off to B&Q for the vital bits.

DS1 is round cleaning his flat and washing carpets..

Dinner in so I shall go separate the girls outgrown stuff into 2 bags.. there is just mountains so I think 2 bags £15 each is not unreasonable and I have more to add to the bags.. I need to sort school stuff too though most of that is only fit for CS. I'll see if I can find 5 minutes to take 5 pics for ebay too.. not sure what those 5 things will be mind lol.. Ooh I know what 3 are!

I just realised I forgot to go buy a needle.. there is 1 bag upstairs it might be in so fingers crossed it is!

The baby just gave me a really big hard kick.. .. It doesn't move very much, especially compared with Squeak who never stopped so it was a bit surprising!

That's one of my favourite days out. We're not too far from there either but t'other side to you.
DH has promised me a day out next week. I fancy Eyam Hall, but may well end up anywhere. DH likes picnics and no spend.

I've done the bathroom, done mountains of washing, and tidied the kitchen and utility. I've also had a kip, and then another kip in the garden It is the holidays

I'm just wondering if I can be bothered to cook, or should I see if I can persuade DH to pick up a takeaway on his way home? I'll use my charm and see what happens :rotfl:

I can hear one of the cats snoring - life of riley........they are all upstairs sleeping which is why I haven't hoovered I don't want to disturb my little princesses

Dustykitten

Valli very jealous, we loved Chatsworth when we finally got to go last year. No I haven't made the jam, was waiting to find out what to do

Kids have cut the grass
I've cleaned the BBQ (love ovenmate)

Chicken nearly defrosted. Going to do the dusting which I have been putting off all week, make 2 phone calls and then start dinner, think I'll make soup for tomorrow lunch now and the cakes aswell so I can go to the shops tomorrow morning before family arrive.

Evening

Fell out of favour with aol I think as it wouldnt let me stay on the last few days so gave up. Spent yesterday in the garden (think concrete courtyard ) and it looks so much better. Have been a a meeting this morning which was appalling and we didnt achieve half of what we should have so I then took myself shopping although didnt find much to give me a treat at all.

Now have to deliver DD to friends for sleepover and have DS GF over so need to do tea for us, DH wont be back until late as far as I can work out although they are still sober enough to go for a curry :rotfl:

Back laters

Reminder to self - list I think back on page 16

pigpen

Dinner scoffed.. Squeak flicking bits of food all over the world much to OH's horror.. I just told him off for moaning at her.. she has to learn and I don't want his moaning putting her off eating or feeding herself!

DS1 still not back so he has mabe electrocted himself with the carpet washer .. ooohh.... he could do mine... fabulous idea, why didn't I think of that?.. erm... or he could have got carried away cleaning *falls on floor laughing* .. I found a tin of magnolia paint he can take to whizz over the rooms and freshen them up.. should keep him busy for a bit I found another bag of grass seed I will sprinkle tomorrow once the bouncy castle is away and the beasties are away to KH's.. (hopefully!!!! until Monday if he can fit them in his very busy schedule!!)..

OH can entertain Squeak for a bit while I go trash the bedroom looking for a needle.. literally.. I have a bag with various yarns in which also has the remains of the white cardy I knitted for a lady at KIDs in December which was, I believe, the last thing I finished so it might well be in there.. fingers crossed!

so.. HHC anyone? 6:15-6:45????
