Short bird - that's one reason I use hankies
I have bnow wrapped my pickup item for e bay ready to take into work next week, and I am going to clean my clutter free bedroom - I'm doing spag bog for tea (easy;)) and am also on target for a peaceful one..
We're having Tag Bol tonight - it's like Spag Bol, but with tagliatelle.;) In fact if we're going to eat at all, I'd better go and get started.....

Evening!
Extreme shock and guilt at not waking up until this afternoon (never done that in my life before) has meant that I have
Vacuumed shower room, kitchen (including the contents of the bag of frozen peas that exploded when I opened the freezer door to see if it needed defrosting), front room, hallway, stairs, landing, my bedroom and bathroom.
WM x 2
DW stuff away and new stuff in
Mucked out splats
Binbagged 2 carriers of rubbish
Sprayed bleach over all bleachable surfaces
Realised fridge is practically empty again
Emptied bins (having missed binmen this week thanks to the long sleep, I am not best pleased)
Sent DD off for an early bath as she stinks like a teenager.
******
I have been requested to cook dippy eggs and soldiers for dinner, which puts paid to my hoped for salt n pepper squid and chips from the Chinese, but I might have that tomorrow instead. Just have to remember how long I have to drop them in for now.
And DD has an opticians appointment tomorrow morning. I shall force her to assist with food shopping and then she might get her wished for stationery and - shock - her first bra, although with her ribcage deformity and scoliosis, it's going to be more like another crop top. But if she's going to have heart scans and xrays and male consultants poking at her in the coming months, she's going to need something to protect her from embarrassment.
Just have to actually wake up tomorrow morning. [sets foghorn sound for alarm]I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

Morning/Afternoon/Evening.
Day started well (Seems to be a familiar theme with us all today). I S&S the bathroom and headed downstiars to find OH doing the garden. First time ever without being asked. :eek:
Decided I would get on with my sewing as I'm making myself a bag and would like it for next week. But DD kept texting, which required answering and then WM decided to freak out. Kept displaying HE2. So after 30 mins of OH looking for the manual and us discovering it wasn't listed we then spent another 30 minutes trying to find a contact number.
Finally got somewhere and have an engineer coming next Thursday. Not what I expected from a machine 6 months old! :mad:
Did eventually get some sewing done only to find my measurements were slightly out - no idea how! So had to adapt but everyone thinks it looks better now so I planned it of course! Just need to make straps and attach to bag then all done. :T
Hugs, spoons and Gaviscon all round (The latter for regurgitating frogs!)0
