Dusty that is so insensitive and downright rude! How dare they change the recycling system without your prior approval - imagine not getting to do operation bin filling - I am gutted for you:rotfl:

yes I run around - NO make that amble about trying to fill my bins - after all I pay my council tax so i want full value so that means full bins:D

embb :hello: hiya hun - any date yet for the work starting?
seafarers - I agree with the others make the most of your time and no arguing - its a long time until december to be harbouring a grudge.

pooh enjoy your peace and quiet - i think you should insist on it at least once a month if not more often:D

piggers has squeak got over her pneumonia now? maybe OH is one of those who needs to be told what to do but will happily do it? some people (not just men) cant always see whats needed?

I understand why the strikes are happening but it is very hard on families finding extra childcare.

I also pulled up all the weeds path side of our garden wall, and swept along the path. And helped my Grandad after working with a few things he's finding hard with his hands. Going to pop by our family yard and pick up the lawnmower, might get a little gardening done after tea. My Dad should be finished with trading so I'm going to bug him for some 'outside' paint so I can paint our doorsteps tomorrow.

Kitchen done
Bedroom and spare room done.
Busy ironing and just stopped for a cuppa.

Computer man came yesterday so netbook and my mobile linked to my broadband.

DD has told me to stay in after 2pm. I have no idea why so waiting with anticipation.

Missus I really hope you have been to the police for your sake and your little boys. Big hugs.

She seems to be fine now thank you

Re the strikes.. tbh I am sick of hearing 'the teachers didn't want to strike they just did as the unions told them'.. well if they didn't want to do it they should have said no shouldn't they!!!

I have a family littered with teachers and not one has worked past 50 and the oldest teacher to have retired was 55 at the childrens primary... my gran had to work until she was 70 ironically cleaning the homes of 'old people' and my stepdad is still working hard at 68.. the pensions can't be that bad!!

Child labour working a treat Lots of jobs being achieved and best of all they have stopped arguing

Very light skim of the thread so apologies if I have missed anything important.

Highlight of the day - a generous donation to the Flylady home for used books - thanks Greenbee

House is an utterly shameful tip of mammoth proportions. Slap in the middle of a heavy flare up so I am far too sore to do a lot about it - even my elbows hurt which is a first. Keeping on top of one DW and WM load a day but it isnt enough. I have put our bedding into the WM tonight, and I am going to try and clear some mess now. If I put it on here, I have to do it!
