Hi all, been keeping away as have had a chest infection for what seems like ages so been doing no housework whatsoever.

Hey there Twinnie! *High Fives*
I was just on the verge of plucking up the courage to pm you, as I wondered where you'd got to!:D
You take care and get rid of that infection, OK? Then you can see about easing back into housework.

mind you I also used to self -administer quinine - in my gin;)

I do that, too - but I prefer mine in vodka.:beer:
Oh gods, I really do want a drink now! It's all Valli's fault.:rotfl:

sorry LW -
in fact having googled the tablets they might well be something you've taken, too.

Oooh! That was interesting! http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77&Lang=en

I scored 4, which, considering I neglected to clean the laptop screen (well, SOMEONE couldn't have put it on the lists :whistle:), is pretty darn good!

Anything's possible - one of my current meds - hydroxychloroquine - is supposed to come with a sight test, but I've never been given one by the hospital; I mentioned this a couple of years ago to the optician where I get my specs, and now they haul me in for a test every year. So far, so good - no problems (other than age and injury related ones) as yet.;)

ETA Just tried that thing Jojo posted and scored 61. *gulp*

pigpen

3 ebeast dollops sorted ready to fling..

I need to prioritise cash and don't know what to do.

I have the money for the gutter bloke put by and £700 'left over'..

I am not buying a twin pushchair.. I am getting the toddler seat for the monster pram and using that to save some shrapnel which wil be more than covered by my paypal money.. I am not getting the cot until after christmas when it will be needed.

I have the plasterer to arrange, the decorator... these will be about £300 each
I need to pay the solicitor for transferring the house over but the deeds aren't back yet to be signed.. this is £400
I need 6 new mattresses.. also about £400
The girls room will need paint and carpet.. paint will be next to nothing but carpet will be about £300 with underlay and fitting.

So.. do I order the mattresses now and resave the cash for the plasterer and decorator... Or do I buy the mattresses once everything else is done when I will have carpet to buy and 3 new beds too...

Once the girls room is done I am going to start driving lessons.. I wanted to do it for years so I will.

My opinion, which counts for absolutely nowt, would be

Get house deeds
Get structural stuff done on house
Get plastering done
Get decorating done
Do carpet (so it isn't ruined by plastering/decorating)
Get mattresses & beds (ditto - and if they have been needed for more than a week, another couple of months won't hurt)
Do everything else.



ETA: 'Tis done, Valli - and don't worry, your name has come up in Dispatches as I wouldn't dream of stealing your thunder for the original idea...

the exchanges on the thread today really upset me and I didnt feel equipped to reply - it really puts me off posting when I think that others think we are unfriendly and unwelcoming - i thought we were friendly and certainly dont think we are cliquey! maybe I am being naive.

Please don't worry I am fairly new (a month or so) and I have found you all very welcoming. I think this is a case of misunderstanding peoples intentions, and is obviously a very rare occurance.

Pigpen - I hope your day has improved

Mumof2 - I hope you feel better soon

I am not too sure what that test was all about but i scored 28 - so not too bad.

Well, as predicted, flying was negligible today. it rained at the Teddy Bears Picnic a bit, but not enough to put us off I managed to do 3 loads in WM (2 dried in TD, 1 still to do) and that is about it!
We didn't get the sofa bed, as it is too wet & we are going to have to put it on the roof rack We are going to try tomorrow.
We don't have anywhere to put it anyway, cos my daughters don't appear to have a floor anymore. i heard the hoover earlier, so I looked in (full of hope ) but still no floor! :huh:

I am going to bed now, & hoping to catch up tomorrow. Even the dog hasn't been walked today

Hugs & spoons to those that need them
