    Excellent, DS3 has taken 2 wickets in his first two overs. Hopefully that will limit strops later in the day.

    HHC 10:30 anyone

    Rachel, hugs and prayers for you from me.

    Thank you everyone for all the kind thoughts and prayers.

    Just taking one day at a time ATM.

    Toot[/B]s, I am hoping it is only temporary, maybe he needs a med review. I am going to see our GP tomorrow for a chat.

    Sorry to hear your news Rachel, not quite sure what to say, I truly hope you can both work things out for the best. xx

    Been flying like a flying thang from flysville.

    Two binbags filled.
    WM x 3

    Dw x 4

    emptied the tons of baskety things and ditched the contents.

    sorted out the kettle area which was rammed with crapola, ditched most of it and wiped the tea/coffee cannisters.

    disinfected outside the door.

    Been back to shop, Lidl for special offer steak mince and watermelon, half price.

    Just stopped for a mo for coffee and painkillers as aches have started...will rest a little and then back to it.

    One hour spent in our room and it's making a big difference already.:D Dirty washing all gathered up and our bedding now being washed. DW been unloaded and reloaded so i think i'll spend an hour in the kitchen while hubby and the two boys are away.
    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.

    Back lawn done (except edges which need doing with shears). Neighbour came over as I went round the front to say her son is intending to do the mowing, but it has kept raining... So I said I'll leave him the front, unless it starts raining, in which case I'll nip out and do it! So... One load of washing on the line, need to finish emptying the car, then head off to the tip with garden waste, then pick up cleaning and filll u with petrol. Then concentrate on getting organised for work so I can head off to see my mother. Apparently my nephew is being angelic in the absence of his parents :D

    I have finished!!!

    Cleaned kitchen and bathroom this morning and wiped out the pan cupboard and put it all back neatly

    All washing done now

    Also preserved some asparagus (before it disappeared until next year) and have 3 jars in oil ready in 6 weeks and also made some more beetroot relish to have over the winter again which is delish and I'll be making some more in a month or so after a few jam making sessions over the next few weeks

    Right off into the garden now to catch up on a few jobs

    Also demolished some of the frog list - took 3 huge bags to the charity shop on Friday and dropped off a pair of trousers to be repaired (a very long standing job). Have 3 more frog list items to tackle in the garden this afternoon
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333
