Have done LOADS since I got back form hairdressers.... just not much that was actually on the list
Let's just say I hope it's the kitchen tomorrow coz then I'm ahead :j
Just had a whole group of friends over for coffee with about an hour's notice. If that had happened a month ago it would have been disasterous for me but thanks to this thread my house was pretty much presentable and I just had to quickly run the hoover round and empty the dish-drainer :j
Right, I'm ready for a HHI... Who's joining me?

Hi everyone I hope you don't mind me posting. I always pop in and follow the thread etc and do all the bits I can. But I just had an eeek moment!! I am still shuddering. I decided that as well as doing the list I would do the spare room. It is where I dry clothes etc when it is raining. I went in all happy chappy and humming away to myself. started taking the dry washing off and pile it together to carry downstairs to iron etc.. and then it happened!!
A flippin great fat spider ran out of them!!! Yes I shrieked and now I can't bear to go back in to get anything. oh boy. I'll wait til OH comes home and innocently ask him to bring the ironing down off the bed
Yes I know you will all call me stupid, but trust me I don't even like pics of spiders never mind the real thing. and so close!!! Eeeeeeeeewwwwww.
Sorry to whinge.
Whilst I am here I shall say Thank You to everyone who runs and follows this thread, you help me enormously.
OK back to lurkdom.
Eek! I don't think your stupid, that would be hypocritical of me as I'd probably have done the same thing...:o Did your OH rescue the ironing? Lol:idea:Debt at July 2012: £12,862.57 :eek:

I'm debating whether I should put the line up as it keeps going cloudy threatening to rain then sunny for a little bit.Savings £8,865.22 £/15,000 Aiming to save enough for a house deposit.0

[Limps in, looking rather [STRIKE]elegantly dishevelled[/STRIKE] like something the cat dragged in]
The Blockheads concert was brilliant! Was right at the front, got given the set list at the end as they finished their encore, and bumbled my way quite happily from lamppost to lamppost to get to the tube to get home. [:beer: related situation]
However, as I seem to be nursing a very painfully bruised palm/hand - dancing with a walking stick? - I'm going to be on light duties for a bit, as I can only move my first two fingers and my thumb (so can still play bass) until the swelling subsides.
Oh, and I do rather ache in other places too.
Plus, the exMIL phoned at 5.45am in tears to say that her painkillers weren't working on her bad back and what should she do? What? Well, phoning the out of hours doctors or a flaming ambulance rather than me would be a start when I only got to bed at 3am, the beer's just worn off, the hangover is just beginning to kick in and I've spent the last 45 minutes clutching an ice pack wearing one winter glove. And I'm not a doctor anyway. Or your DIL. :mad:
Lots of gently supportive and understanding words later, she's off to hospital where they have given her more painkillers and sent her home.
****************
Anyway, there is a load of washing outside. If it rains, it can stay out there because a) it's Minion's stuff and b) have you ever tried operating pegs with half a functional hand?
I have also decluttered the evidence of the midnight large shish kebab and chips that seemed such a good idea at the time.
The bathrooms are fine already.
Must remember to double bag the ice in a cold compress next time, as I now have a little puddle on the bedroom floor where my 5am first aid attempt has leaked.
I still have to:
1. Go and buy the splats their dinner.
2. Get Minion something for dinner.
3. Dunno - I've forgotten it already. :cool:
Oh, and LW
:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:TI could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0
