Not too bad considering I was at work yesterday and today, and was out last night.
I have plenty of stuff to do tomorrow, but am quietly optimistic about how much i can get done. So tonight (matthew ) I am going to put my feet up with my knitting (need to unpick a bit cos it's wrong :mad:) and watch some tv. I have soo much catching up to do with the tv.
I might just do what i do with my e-mails when they get too much- hit the delete button..:rotfl:

Hi everyone :wave:

Sorry I haven't been around but as many of you know I've not been to good, suffering with terrible depression and to be honest things have got worse

The Dr changed my meds but they're going to take longer to start working so I've been very low.
Today is actually the first day I've been left on my own and it's been a good day so I thought I'd pop in to say hi.
The house is suffering but my DD's have been good and DD1 has done most of the cooking.
The housing association have finally fitted the new window, about 6 weeks after the XH smashed it :cool:
The new insulation has been fitted in the loft but they put it over the boarding! I phoned to complain and basically got told it was tough :mad: so it looks like the DD's and I will have to sort it out ourselves.
I have surrendered my finances and bank card to my mum as thats been suffering too and I tend to blow money when I'm down. The worse thing is that she won't let me have any money for anything!! :rotfl:

Tooti and L/L you will always be valued on here even without the flying. Keep contributing.

^^^ Wot she said!
Toots you are better by far than me at remembering what is happening with who, and offering apposite comment.

LadyL 16th is too far ahead to lodge in my poor Lupie brain...please remind us nearer the time so that I can send suitable healing vibes. In the mean time, it's good to see you posting.

Prawn Biryani for dinner. Must must eat frog tomorrow.

Frog Biryani? You got recipe for that?:rotfl:

Level One
Declutter floors and work surfaces! Done
Wipe worksurfaces Done
Munch a frog! Membership paperwork dealt with. Only a teeny-tiny tadpole, but this must not, under any circumstances, be allowed to become a full-grown Frog, hence I believe it qualifies.;) Apart from which I'm struggling now to find Frogs I can manage unaided.
Level Two
Wipe all small appliances and replace Done
Sweep and mop the floor Done by Mr LW:A
Wipe over large appliances and unit doors.. make sure insides are clean too Done
Level Three
Wipe table and replace cloth if necessary Done (no cloth)
Clean out the grotty fridge Done at weekend
S&S the hob & oven Done
Extras

1. clean filters and door seals of large appliances Not needed – done very recently
2. Clean windows and sills as necessary Sill done (and tiles)– window doesn't need it
3. HHI N/A none to do
4. Run washing machines and DW through clean cycles Not needed at this time

Managed to do all that's needed from today's list, plus made pizza for dins, and plum crumble with plums we collected when we took Louie out yesterday, also taken Louie for two good walks (via the post box, to post the stuff dealt with at Frog Time earlier);) - but I didn't get time to have a piece of fruit this afternoon, which I usually try to.:(

Louie's making the bungalow his own; though he does seem to have cottoned on to the fact that I won't tolerate dogs leaping on the bed without so much as a "by your leave"!:D

Yeah. Just substitute frogs for prawns! Afraid I cheated - Mr T had a 2 for 1 offer on paste. It does about 3 times as much as it says on the jar. About 1/4 jar makes up to 6-8 portions with lots of veg.

Must munch frog tomorrow. Otherwise not too bad this week so far.

Goodintentions

I have come to a decision re home insurance :j obviously too late to phone them, so will need to do that in the morning I am going with the one that covers the business use aswell. The extra it costs (compared with Direct Line) can go through as a business expense. Out of the 3 quotes & renewal (4 in all) it is actually the second cheapest anyway but with best cover :money:

Downstairs vacuumed (after DD2 brought the hoover from upstairs, and I emptied it - they think the hoover fairy does that - and untangling part of the bedroom carpet from the brush!), fridge emptied of old food & wiped down, dinner scoffed and still working on the paper pile

DH turned up!! I thought he was in Scotland There was a [STRIKE]c[/STRIKE]mix up with the flights. Got to Stansted & they weren't booked on the flight by the PA. Then were told to go to City airport by the PA, but wasn't booked there either!! So they came home, and will go tomorrow. What a waste of a day!

Oh well, back to the paper....

Hello everyone,

Today I have:
Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
Level One
Declutter floors and work surfaces! (did this morning and they are already recluttered:(
Wipe worksurfaces
Munch a frog!
Level Two
Wipe all small appliances and replace
Level Three

Plus weeding and snipping. I also went for a run (well walky run type thing) as me and OH are on a one month weight loss competition. I think I may win:).

I have not been here long, so am just getting my head round who everyone is, but I can say that I've figured out that Toots you contribute a lot and everyone thinks a lot of you. Lady L you won't know me but best wishes to you and thinking of you on 16th xx
