  • Going to spend tomorrow pottering around and maybe get something to barbeque tomorrow evening.

    Considered volunteering minion, but she has been sweetness and light ever since Splashgate. :cool:

    Have done my nails - well, the thumbs, as they aren't affected by bass playing - and will pop out to water the garden in a minute, hoping that the wretched explorer splat will get his carcasse in once the hose comes out. If not, he's got a long night ahead of him.

    Completely stuffed with spatchcock chicken, so still can't have anything else to eat, but I think I might have a little pineapple and coconut juice. :)

    It is SOOOO hot here!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Good eveing all

    Hugs/sticks and spoons to all who ant or need them

    Im in a again this week thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Asbo for the thread. Some days nothing would get done here if it wasnt for the lists

    Jojo I see youfound a way of dealing with DD, it really did make me giggle.

    Chocolateteddy Good luck with un/walk tomorrow, I hop eyour ankle is ok now.

    LW Glad to see you took things easy today, I hope that the plan for tomorrow as well.

    Dorajar |There are something of OH that I dont touch as I think its only the dirt holding it together :rotfl::rotfl:

    Cath_Smith Hope you and OH have a lovely day tomorrow, I was wondering if you were planning any you time.

    Nixie I love the quote, it another way of looking at thngs isnt it:)

    I took myself off to bed thos afternoon as I think I used all my spoons stressing about whether or not to go with OH this morning.

    Dinner eaten and kitchen S&S'd for the umteenth time today. Then we sat round and played some board games as a family, at DD's request,(fun what they want to do when grounded without access to technology:D).

    While I was asleep dogbot tried totake his bandages off as neither DD or DS were paying any attention to him, so he could work away at them undisturped. So I may have to take them off and have to go at rebandaging his legs in the morning.

    Happierdaystocome you might be right. lol.
    Just managed HHI whilst watching an episode of friends. Going to put it away in my newly decluttered drawers- feeling virtuous now. Will leave DH's on his chest of drawers for him to put away - so they will probably be there until he wears them again.

    Hi there, I'm in again this week.

    Thanks for the day off Pigpen, but I really must catch up on some ironing as I now can't open the box room door for the pile of clean washing I've been hiding in there :eek:
    We have a few people round for a bbq and drinks tomorrow afternoon so should be a nice end to the weekend.

    dont think so dippy its a thin halogen(I think) bulb - I am now wondering if its the movement sensor toots xx

    http://www.lightbulbs-direct.com/article/fittings-caps-and-bases/

    This gives bulb types, but as you say might be sensor, you might have to get a tame sparks in...

    New PIR sensor lights are cheap these days.
