Goodintentions

Morning all

A bit of a slow start this morning...

So far I have walked the dog (love the fresh air & wildlife ) after the school run, loaded WM, S&S the kitchen & re-stacked the DW (a running joke in this house, but if they did it properly, I wouldn't need to re-do it!!).
I need to go to town to buy DS a new blazer, pick up contact lenses & get bin bags, etc from Wilkos (I will come out with a lot more).
Then I will crack on with Weds list, try & finish Tuesdays. Must crack on

PS Thank you all, I am feeling motivated at the moment, and getting lots done. Welcome to Decluttering, hugs to Vanilla (I don't know the history here, but I am getting the gist).
Must fly!!

but of an odd one that^^^ same post many threads *insert shruggy smiley*

The Vallikids are back later today. Their flight lands at LHR this afternoon, then they've to schlep up here. They've hit the emergency funds on the travelcard twice...one on Hollywood Boulevard :eek:

so I have work work to do, vacuuming and that's about it. The washing basket is empty. There a a few bits on the line which I will irone later and I am hoping for fine weather tomorrow, as I have a feeling the washer will be on non-stop!

sleep - highly under-rated. late night, up in the night and woke up at 4am. No to see snooze time again. :mad: Second night in a row as well that DH has managed to elbow me in the chops. Total accident, last night trying to give me a cuddle and before that I was talking to the beagle that was hiding under his arm wrong place wrong time, sooo me

On the plus side, it's pay day :j:j:j And I still have about 76p in me pocket :rotfl: Just to proove I can do it if I need to (and last month I needed to!)

sockdrawer - take it easy, migraine's can be sneaky and pounce back on you. Hope yours is gone for good!

Piggers - hope the ISP swap goes well

Hugs sticks and spoons all round.

I spose I ought to crack on. I can write me name in the dust on the craft cupboard and the stairs are husky coloured. :rotfl:

Morning everyone, bit groggy here as I am trying to get rid of a migraine which has been hanging around for 3 days now - darn AF. So I've taken the painkillers with a late breakfast and am just waiting for them to work now.

Oooh I've noticed a phenomenon - when it's AF time most of us flyladies seem to have them at the same time. How weird is that..? Ok maybe it's my mind thinking it's odd..lol. I know you get it if you are in an all girls school, have all girls, kids home etc.. But never knew it could happen through the internet..odd!!

The weather must be cooling down as the birds are back in the garden in force - they were coming in the garden in dribs and drabs during the heatwave..bless them. I think Mr and Mrs Dove are nesting back in their usual nest in my tree at the bottom of the garden as there is a lot of activity going on in their old nest. The newly wedded Mr Robin is feeding every day, plus he is taking food back for Mrs Robin I think. Haven't seen them together so I think she must be nesting. I do hope they bring their young in to the garden to see us, although not sure if I would know the difference between a baby robin and a sparrow as they don't have their red breasts then... Woody is being a bit conspicuous by his absence at the moment, but he could just be feeding when I am not home. Mr Blackbird has been eating the food off the ground, and I am sure I saw Mrs Blackbird yesterday too. So not sure if they are nesting properly yet. I think my resident harvest mouse has come out of hibernation as Bear keeps going around sniffing the ground where the mouse usually goes. I hope he survived for another year and Ollie didn't kill him off last year. No sign of the toad or frog, and we cleared out our little pond the other weekend. But you never know with these two, they just turn up when they feel like it..lol Also haven't seen or heard Mr and Mrs Hedgehog yet, but I think they are just coming out of hibernation so we should start hearing them snuffling around the front garden very soon.

Yikes JoJo your cat certainly caused major havoc didn't she, bless her. It's amazing that an animal so small can cause so much disaster isn't it? I always know when one of my cats causes disasters I stand there and just look at it thinking "how on earth did she manage that?" It must have been very scary for your cat having a towel dropped on her head though.
G&B I love my Dyson ball. I wouldn't be without it now. I first used one on holiday a few years ago and decided when we got home that I was going out to buy one. I must admit I am sad as I love looking to see what crud it has picked up from my carpet, but then I am ashamed at the amount of dog fur etc that is on the carpet without me realising.. It wasn't long after the ball Dysons came out, so this one was relatively new in the market, and I have had it ever since - must be about 4 or 5 years now. I wouldn't swap to any other hoovers either, as I love uprights. I sometimes use my friend T's Henry and I can't get on with that for some reason. It really makes my back ache after using it. Good luck with the exam today too hon..
Kaz, great news on the test results :T
Nixie hope all goes well at the Dr's tomorrow, I am sure it is just normal lumps - if you know what I mean. I was told I had lumpy breasts when I found a lump many years ago. Also my consultant said it was to do with my pill too. Thankfully I have had no other flare ups, although we now know what to disregard and what to look for.
Piggers squeak looks adorable, and I can't believe how quickly she is growing up. They grow so quickly at that age.
Juliejim I'm glad it's not just me that hides the ironing mountain..lol. I have mine in a 60l purple plastic storage box in a corner in the living room, covered with a lovely cloth and a big cushion on top of it for my little Amycat to sleep on when she fills like it.

Ooops it's gone 11am and I am not long up, so better go and get showered and dressed as I have to make shepherds pie for tea tonight. And I have to have it ready for when DH gets in as I am off to an Anne Summers Party tonight (only 4 of us there..lol) and I won't be home till late. Shame I'm going to miss the final of Masterchef..grrr!!

Hugs and spoons to everyone, especially LW, LL and Toots.
