1. dried lunch dishes and put away
2. washed tea dishes
3. put on washing after DS2 brought up a mouthful of his tea (pasta in tom sauce) all over my cream top!!:mad:(his own fault for jumping on his bed lol)
4. pumiced my feet
5. cleaned sofa after foot dust covered it
6. hoovered floor
7. put top back into WM after all the stain didnt come out

now im sat on the sofa waiting for my mate to come round for a chat and a coupe drinks while we work out a budget for her.

Well done - my HHC turned into nothing as my mother phoned.....oh well had better get on with things

Food eaten, bins out, DW on, hob wiped. Need to get the mattress topper off the line and shove it in the dryer, then potter about tidying the study while I run a bath. OH is apparently planning on coming over tomorrow morning to help me turn my mattress. Arrangement for Friday are still a little flaky as he has to ferry one of his kids home at around 1am and I'm a bit worried about him then trying to get here for 7am to collect me. Why does he always over commit himself?

Anyway, at least work is done. One meeting, one client call and my mid-year review with my boss tomorrow but that's it. No deadlines looming, nothing outstanding. Feels strange...

:bdaycake:Happy birthday boddy - hope you have had a great day xx

juliejim - sorry to hear you didnt get the job - have been thinking about you today and was hoping it was good news - their loss (((hugs)))
hex I think that is great news for you all - DH at home more - and he can help - and getting the house done - what a brilliant project that will be for him and when we put our minds to it we can achieve loads so I am sure the fall in income will be a minor blip - you will have more of an incentive to be self sufficient now - congratulations to DH and I hope you both feel much better and less stressed (((hugs))) oh and Happy annniversary too xx
Lamewolf your august is well and truly taken care off - enjoy your woofs:D
Triker loads of love and best wishes that the worst bit is over - hoping with all my might that it has been a success and DD will be on the go again real soon and without the pain (((hugs)))

hex2

Thanks Toots - and well done on the weight loss too, you must be pleased with that!

Triker, I keep meaning to say I am thinking of you and your family. Must have been such a difficult day for you all.

juliejim, hope something suitable turns up soon

Ironing sorted, downstairs hoovered, silly dog who rolled in fox carp washed :roll eyes:

Valli

I have been to the picture - horrible bosses. DD (who accompanied me) not impressed when I 'jumped' when the cat 'appeared' and I might have squealed - and then I giggled and giggled and giggled and I thought it was really funny...

came home and have ironed.

DS and his new friend who is female (so a girlfriend in all but name) cooked their own tea with ingredients they bought (she gets staff discount at mr Ts, too - I might have to invite her to accompany me shopping ) and have washed up together - awwww
and I am just bluetoothing a new ringtone to my phone (in a totally vain mode - tis a song by Amy Winehouse but one she covered )

got the file onto the phone - can't turm it into a ringtone *sigh*
