    I'm in thanks Pigpen.

    I'm glad Tabitha is doing well Pigpen, sending big hugs for her.

    I've been ill since Friday with these flipping gallstones. :mad: However i went to the Dr's today and for the 1st time he didn't try to tell me it was indigetion or that my stomach had moved.:cool: He said there was probably a stone left after the operation or the scar hadn't fused properly. He also gave me super strong painkillers. :j:j I've got a scan on the 25th and then they'll decide between an endoscopy or more surgery. I'm just glad that after 3 years someone at last believed me, i was starting to think i was going mad. :cool:

    Afternoon all, not caught up yet, hope everyone's OK.

    Not able to join in properly this week (again). Boiler was changed over today from downstairs cupboard to airing cupboard. Boiler cupboard is being taken out but not until new joists are put in under the airing cupboard. Part of the living room ceiling is down and some of the boiler cupboard walls. Half of the carpet is in the front garden....Over the next week or so the walls are being stripped and then they will be plastered. Ceiling being skimmed too. Then the living room will be redecorated. Fun.

    So, I'll do what I can, when I can.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    lemanie well done to you for working out a list that fits in - hope it helps

    Didn't really work out my own list as much as collate loads of Pigpen's that I had saved to my PC over months. Then I split it up into the 10 separate areas of the house. Thinking that it will enable a steadier pace and a more consistently clean house, here's hoping. :D

    I love the cycling having a destination, think it would make it much less monotonous, wave as you go past here (I'm thinking you might go past in about September?)

    Have been busy flying but will update my list later.

    Glad to hear about Tabitha improving, Pigpen.
    Proud to have dealt with our debt. DFW Nerd 1474

    Kids all collected from school. DD now doing her homework and boys all fighting, including Rhys. :rotfl:

    I have unloaded dw, reloaded wm, collected all dry clothes and put wet stuff out. We've had thunder and lightening, rain and hailstones for over an hour off and on.

    My frog will have to wait until kids are in bed. They'll be down for 8 and i've found away of getting them to sleep straight away with no mucking about.:D

    Right plan now is to make a start on the kitchen list...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Well that was a disappointing afternoon spent in the clinic :( The doctor said he won't touch my cyst as its right on the tip of my nose and he would end up scaring me due to its location so he's going to send me to see a plastic surgeon instead :( That means a 4-6 week wait to go to the hospital, and there I was looking forward to being cyst free today :( Oh well, at least a plastic surgeon can do a neater job ;)

    I should really get on with some jobs now but I am so tired I'll do the kitchen tomorrow and get on with some jobs that involve me sitting down :p

    Flying wise (with DD's help) I've decluttered a quiche (yellow stickered find this morning) and some chocolate bunny lollipops :o

    This week:
    Write DD's chore/reward list for this week.
    Colour my hair
    Dye DD's jeans
    HHG x2
    Write Toots list :eek:
    Accounts - update - personal ones done & looking good, just need to sort the ones out for work :D
    Shorten curtains x 2
    Adjust DD's jeans x however many need doing!
    Shorten straps on new top so I show less cleavage/bra & will be able to wear it for work!
    Ironing until its gone
    Deal with @pproved f00d order when it arrives

    Mon - Collect book after 6pm
    Tue - Brownies (£1.50)
    Wed
    -
    Thur - Put order in
    Fri - Take DD to her dads?
    Sat/Sun - depends on DD going away or not.

    Right, time to get DD into her jeans so I can work out what I need to do to adjust them :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Just eaten first frog - CV first draft now completed and will ask OH to check it before I email it to the first agency.

    Also found a job to apply for and am halfway through the online application form.

    Gone very dark here and the wind is picking up - may have a storm brewing.

    Off to sort tea, not a biggie - lasagne made last night and in the fridge, with wedges and salad.

    Kitchen not really done today as I have been concentrating on CV and DD's cesspit (most of the contents of the wardrobe seem to be cardboard boxes containing sweet wrappings and not quite empty pop bottles - heaven only knows how long they have been there:eek:)
