morning everyone
DD is off to school and caats have been fed, now i'm drinking coffee, eating an apple and being lazy haha. was supposed to be off work today but been offered an extra shift. as much as my house could use a day of cleaning, my bank balance needs the extra pennies moreshift starts at 1pm though so got time for some housework. need to get kitchen done, iron my work uniform and have a shower. also got a mountain of bills to pay, will hopefully get that done before work too.

Max - which day of your ABs are you on? How long is the course and what are they strength/type. From my throat experiences you should be feeling significantly better by day 4 of a 7 days courseThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Dusty - we're rabbit-sitting, too:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
Morning all
I didn't get much done of my actual list last night, however I shined my sink, cleaned one of the kitchen windows and inbetween feeding kids and spending some time with DS2 before he went to bed I scrubbed down the wall behind the cooker that was full of nasty ground in grease and managed to get rid of all of it :j It had been there for years :embarasse but now gone with some white vinegar, barcob of soda, a soft scouring pad and a lot of elbow greaseAt the toughest point I did use a metal scouring pad and lost some paint but that's ok, I can just touch up on the paint and it'll look as good as new
So despite me not doing what I intended to do I am very pleased with what I did do
I'm going to have a quick tidy up, shower and jump on train to visit friend before flying resumes when I get back(I'm actually looking forward to it too!
)
Catch you all later, love and hugs x

Yay. Guy came round to quote for garden blitz. Much cheaper than last year (can't wield a lawnmower due to bad back and vertical garden) I'll potter around with him on Monday - I always achieve more when there is someone else participating.
