Hello tootles....hope you're ok honey xx

Dressing table empty. Erm.....stuff to find homes for. So far one bag for charity, one small one for recycling, one small one for rubbish. On the whole it's a case of re-organisation as a lot of it is still sorted from the last big clear out. Two drawers full of christmas cards/paper, one drawer with birthday paper, a couple of drawers with pressies in....that kind of stuff.

Onwards and upwards xx

Afternoon all

My list is done! The living room is completely empty but I now have carpet and I've vacuumed it all, and got the fluff off the skirting boards too. I carried on and did the rest of downstairs after. Ooh, it smells all new and carpetty in there

Washing done and dry, needed extra pegs today though! All folded and put away.

Sorry to read that sad news embb

Happy Birthday Helen

Can't remember anything else.......

Okay in my HHC I:
Cleaned and disinfected the puke. And managed not to add to the pile :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Put the dog bed out to air out.
wiped over the sofa - dry wipe, it needs a wet wipe.
picked up all the big chunks off the floor and put what could be done in the recycling
Ran the hoover round the "edges" which clears the tumbleweed hair.
and emptied the hoover.
Swept up the shredded paper and the dog food.
and dusted.

I'm gonna break for lunch and then hoover the rest so I can mop it all.
Might even tackle the windows.
Stairs need attention too.
But hey I got till half five LOL

Indeedily the worst room Thanks Piggers :rotfl::rotfl:

Beagle has the duster :eek: will have to rescue that :rotfl:
How'd you guys do in your HHC Dancemum, shellysue and Natty?

Brother and SIL are going to a wedding on Tuesday (who gets married on a Tuesday??)

*Dredges into the pile of miscellaneous, unsorted carp that is the Wolf's long-term memory....*
Monday for health
Tuesday for wealth
Wednesday the best day of all
Thursday for crosses
Friday for losses
And Saturday no luck at all

There y'go.:) There is, as I recall, a rhyme for different colours of wedding dress - but it doesn't include lilac, which is what I got married in.:rotfl:

AnW's have a pleasant day today, if that's the correct word to use. Blessings to you, in any event.:o

Helen jelly Hippo Bathday.:D

Embb so sorry to hear about your friend's grandson.:(

I shall try for level 1 or maybe 2 this week I think, and see how I get on. One of the ladies on the Daily Thread suggested hot milk with rosemary to try and help me sleep at night; it helps a little, but I still flake out for 3 hours plus once Mr LW has left for work.:( In desperation, I've procured some Vitamin B tablets - I just don't know what else I can do. Doctor and consultant both just shrug their shoulders if I mention it.:(

Anyway, thanks for the list to FCC, and to everyone else for the friendship and encouragement.:o

Candy's here til Wednesday, and she's quite hard work (she's very elderly, with all the attendant problems) but she's such a sweet girl, it's still a pleasure to have her.:o

Well I didn't get much done, DD2 saw to that! But my new sofa is here and its blooming HUGE! Now I can't have the living room set out the way we wanted so not too sure whats going to happen, but we NEED these old sofas gone

Dorastar

Trying to get through a pile of work frogs ( some bigguns too) but should still have time to get through some of the listy ( thanks to the boss ladies)

Is a bit yack here - torrentail rain and howling gales - which is good as it means there is nowhere nice and sunny I would rather be, maybe someone is trying to tell me to get on with the stuff I HAVE to do first, then play later?

Hi guys :wave:

Awwwww thanks everyone, it means so much I you all x

I didn't know the young man as he lives in Ireland with their son, but I feel so sorry for them they never get a break, it's one thing after the other and this might just see my lady off as she's bi-polar and has other health issues and attempted suicide back end of last year, I'm quite concerned, they phoned cos they are going to Ireland and not sure when they're coming back

Been to work and almost had a run-in with a .... can't think what they're called....those parking guys, double yellows oh Gawd :rotfl:anyway house is in a conservation area and only allowed to park there for 2 hrs I'm there 3, I caught him taking a photo of my car (been there 20 mins) whilst i was cleaning the upstairs window, went tearing outside full of hell and after a chat he said just to move my car along after the 2 hrs was up- should think so aswell :rotfl: need to speak to customers about a parking permit as it's only a matter of time. Still can't think what they're called.

Gosh sorry I've rabbited on

I've decluttered bacon sarnies and 2 club biscuits, and put the wrappers in the bin. Raining here at last and still windy so no washing today.
