    Morning

    (((hugs))) Julie & Wendy xx

    House not looking too bad. Did quite a bit yesterday once the last stragglers from DDs sleepover party had left :cool: To be fair to them, they left the house in quite a good state, so can't complain.

    I'm going to do a few bits in the living room, so I'm off for a HHC now. Anyone wanting to join in?
    I need direction to perfection...

    ok silly question, im mad for krispy kreme donugts at the moment and have found a shop near my MIL that sells them and was wondering how she can post them from Wales to County Durham without them being squished to bits. Would couriers transport fragile food items?

    I have just been reading what a frog list is. I am going to go and write mine.

    Thank you pigpen toots and anyone else who helps on here. Sorry if I have forgotten but you know by now how bad my memory is :o

    I have pain clinic at 1.30 so will do what I can before I go out.

    Can I post frog list on here so I don't lose it?
    seafarer I would get her to wrap them in bubble wrap, put in a box, and then they should be okay. I have posted all sorts of odd things over the years and most make it in one piece.

  • Hope no-one minds me hopping on. This sounds like just the thing I need to keep me organised/motivated with everything. Been home just over a week with bubba after an extended stay in hospital and now time to get kicking this housework's mule, so to speak. Gonna try and start off light - if I can just get the basics sorted and get them ticking over, alongside getting me and B into a good routine, it'll be more than fantastic. :T

    I haven't done a frog list as I wasn't sure what to put on it.
    I need to get the garden sorted but I'm not going out there in the rain!
    I guess the mopping of the kitchen floor could be a frog :o but I'll have to wait til DD2 gets home as I'll need help moving the table and the fridge freezer and chest freezer (DD1 is going to the boyfriends after school).
    I'm going to have a HHC blitz on the front room as I have my best friends eldest coming round after her counselling session. She hates going so is coming to off load to me after then I'll give her a lift home and have coffee with her mum :)
