I managed all jobs on monday and tuesday, yesterday was manic, so I have drawn a line under tues and will just keep coming back to this post to cross things off as and when I can before monday. Today has gone well as I did most of it on kitchen day when I couldnt get in there due to OH sorted/cleaning cooker hood!

Need a few extra hours in the day tomorrow, if anyone has any?!

toottifrootti

welcome to the thread didi66 hope you find it helpful to be with us
- we all love it here and sometimes we even get some work done:D
ajmoney awh (((hugs))) I am sure its just all the wedding nstuff building up and the disappointment of the makeup session - are you going to someone else or just a different look? what about one of your bridesmaids doing it for you?
sammiell (((hugs))) for you a DD - what a blooming shame they have not given up - great advice fro our Valli - I know you say DD is tryig to ignore and laugh it off just be careful she isnt taking it all to heart and feeling miserable inside.

shellysue

sorry, not read fred.
something bit me yesterday and I had a bad reaction to it, I still feel a bit gruesome, but nearly human.
will get back to flying tomorrow.

Valli

not done bad

bathroom and kitchen cleaned - kitchen worktop gleaming thanks to the application of bneat bleach
lounge done
e bays posted
one lot of washing doen and dried
made a start on de-mossing the block paving - another good session like today and I'll be buying a bew bag of sand to brush between the blocks...


DD has a trip letter and NEEDS £85 ASAP - two theatre visits in London and an overnighter in a hotel with breakfast - sounds like a bargain!


what I WON'T miss in my kitchen

the 'larder' cupboard - only the middle bit gets properly used. The top bit, with it's lift up door is where I store jam jars - m,ainly because I have to get a chair to stand on to get in it. In the bottom bit there are three baskets. They are supposed to usefully slide out. They're carp and they don't; the runners have broken off
The cupboard in the corner next to the oven - virtually inaccessible
The tumble dryer being in the shed because I can't fit it in
No dishwasher
White worktops.:eek:
Insufficient worktops.
The drawer that won't open fully (runners broke)
The Oven - gas, broken door, no timer, was carp even when the door worked.

This is comfortable. I should really get up and cook in a minute.

[Cat miaows]

TD on, Minion despatched to search for dark washing in cupboards, under the bed, etc.

[Cat miaows]

When I've cooked, I'll do DW and S&S surfaces, take bins out for morning and throw folded washing at Minion's head.

[Cat miaows]

At least it's warmer today, my feet were freezing yesterday.

[Cat miaows]

What?

....Oh.


....Sorry. Why didn't you say anything?

Sorry non-flying but kind of related. I am feeling really down at the moment and I don't know why and CBA to do anything. That is all, I am going back to lurking now.

*Sending Sidney in to sniff out the BD that's trying to sneak in on aj*

I really must remember where mOZzy lives before getting so confused about what she has been doing in the middle of the night :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I do that all the time and think - why is Mozzy up at 4am!! :rotfl::rotfl:


Toots - the ebay session has begun, mostly furniture from the garage and tv from the spare room etc, but should boost the cash fund asap. A few bits of [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] very lovely stuff like toys etc have been added, but a lot isnt worth very much and its more bother than its worth to wrap and post!

question - what do you do with old pillows and quilts? Seems a waste to throw them in the landfill?

list searching...

Thanks LW, I am gradually pulling myself back up but I have never experienced this before so it is strange. It should be the happiest time of my life but I can't seem to find any enthusiasm at the mo.
