    Clearing out the front hall. So far I have binned 7 pairs of shoes and charity bagged several coats. OH (aka Imelda) is not going to be happy. The man collects shoes and coats at a scary rate. There are some impressive spiders in there.

    Greenbee - I have managed to remove my running jackets (spirng and winter) from the hall and put them upstairs ready to parcel up. Stressing, but I think it is clear a year on from the original flare that I am never going to run again. *hyper-ventilates*

    Evening all, not been at home much today. DD's hearing aid is now fixed. Hubby spoke to the doc who has contacted the HTT who have already been out, then the doc and nurse and HTT are out tomorrow. Hubby seems to think he's going to have a rough night, well i might just go to bed then....:mad:

    Sparky hasn't showed up yet, house is a tip and boys need left to there club soon. I have old beds everywhere, kitchen is a tip and livingroom doesn't even look like a livingroom.

    Happy birthday to both birthday girls, hope you've had a lovely day.

    Right i need to go make a start and hubby can flipping well help, hopefully it will tire him out tonight. ;)

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

  • Evening all,

    have munched on a big frog, and it wasn't that bad once I got on with it :o

    HHC at 6.30ish anyone?

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Just a quick catch up.

    Did not get much done last night as we had a major incident nearby and had to leave the house for 4 hours. A guy had cut the gas pipes in his house and threatened to blow it up. After four hours the riot police got him out after the gas and electric was cut off.

    Today dailies done.
    Hoovered right through.
    Towels washed.

    Will catch up with the thread now.

    Good evening, I haven't fully caught up on the thread so hope you all had a good day x

    DD's show went really well but sitting on a chair for over 2 hours wasn't so fun.....never mind, only have to do it 2 more times!! We had a text from school this morning teeling us to make sure the kids took a raincoat...yep I did that....shame the bloomin school didn't make sure they wore them!!!! Luckily it wasn't raining when they came from the hall, as the coats were in school!!!!

    Not a lot done from the lists so will have to crack on tomorrow morning...I have stripped, washed and remade DD's bed....chip shop dinner....and joined WW!!!!

    chilling with a cold glass of lager now.....:D
