    An extremely quick in and out...

    Frodders - vibes for little Meggie xxx

    OH LW, I missed your birthday - belated greetings from me xxx

    Mrs Sexym I'm so glad the wedding went wonderfully would love to see the pix - hope the reception on Friday goes brilliantly xxx

    Greenbee - hugs on the mother thing...

    Valli - glad things went well with the Doc... and Chatsworth - ahhhhh some of my roots are there - it's a beautiful place ...

    And hugs to anyone else who needs them...

    A week of two halves...

    Absolute boredom at work, but things hotting up outside of work WRT community stuff....

    This loooong weekend, I'm planning to spring clean the whole place - it certainly needs it!

    Have to dash - quiche (yes! I actually made pastry, baked it blind and then filled it with eggy milky etc. stuff!) is just about ready...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Today I have tidied up the lounge
    and tidied up the kitchen, cleaned down all the work tops. and MORE WASHING UP. Grrrr does the washing up ever end?
    Done the downstairs floors, hoovered and mopped.
    washed the bathroom window, cleaned the mirror and the shelves.
    Cleaned the sink.
    And I did clean the bath but beagle stopped play! She dived in leaving mucky pawprints everywhere! :eek:
    Had fluffybutt number2 investigating the shower, she got soaked.:rotfl:
    And then the I ran out of steam, literally and figuratively.

    And I have caused a fluff storm in the house as I've tried for the second day in a row to brush out the fluffybutt number1.
    There are fluff-tumbleweeds rolling round the lounge (pics on bookface) there was enough fluff to completely cover a sofa cushion! and he's not even half done. It's soo hot for him, poor little begger. I'll carry on when he forgives me a bit ;)

    Hugs and sticks and spoons all round x

    Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone! :j This is the first time I have managed to do everything on a list!! I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for this thread.
    (I am not getting my hopes up, this won't happen every day - or maybe not at all again!! ;) )

    I am feeling quite proud of myself! I won't be able to do much next week as I am going into hospital with my son, who has cystic fibrosis, for IV antibiotics. I am hoping to come home for the second week to do home IVs. This is another reason I need to keep everything as ordered as I can. I can do sterile and clean in a small space, but the whole house organised would be wonderful! I will get there.....baby steps.

    Thanks all. :)

    Thanks Jojo :)
    Just need to avoid the hospital shop. Mindless chocolate eating isn't great, nor are the prices they charge!!

    Didnt get much done in the garden as my digging was all the encouragement dogbot need to start digging himself but in places that didnt need it, so I gave up :o.

    Sorted the kids dinner and S&S'd the kitchen as Oh was working late so I left him some marinated chicken to have when he came home.

    DS has a football match tomorrow so we may just go the park with Dogbot in the afternoon and pop into my parents with newphews eggs in the afternoon and possible drop into town so that I can return some clothes.

    Morning,

    Not been up long, but it looks like another beautiful day.
    Plan for today:

    Iron
    Hoover and mop downstairs
    Go out for a walk with butties - local reservoir not far.
    Tidy and clean the spare room.

    That really doesn't look too bad.
    Just having a coffee then it's WM on, empty DW and start ironing.
    Oh and I want to make a cake too - recipe I picked up in Sainsbugs
    Catch you later. Enjoy your day

    Morning

    Wm is on
    Cat is fed
    The plan is to do all listies this morning, then this afternoon power wash the patio, depending on what time I get all that done, do the 2nd loft, and then collaspe in a heap to recover!!!

    I may / will be gone some time.

    I also did the tesco's price checker during the week and they have sent me double the difference vouchers to the value of £5.50 so I am happy with that! all those who shop at tesco's either in store or online should check each time, it is simple honest, if I can work out how to do it you all can!!
