Vanilla hugs

Hi guys :wave:

Jojo & Rach Glad you are both ok, stay safe xx

Vanilla I really don't know what to say....you work so hard and put up with so much, you really don't need this on top of everything else, I really feel for you and wish I was closer to give you a proper hug and help you do stuff, even if it was just making you brews and running the hoover around xx

Heya Toots :hello: xx

The news is dreadful think I'm gonna turn it off, can't cope with my beloved England being ransacked by morons who will no doubt get away with it :mad:

Been to work and came back with a banging headache...had some food and probs will have a snooze to get rid of it. Just done the kitchen whilst making my dinner. Seriously need to hoover and have a quick tidy all round. Got a wash load to hang out too.

Valli B&M Bargains have the wall hanging brackets on special at the minute, if there's one near you x

Afternoon all

Sorry to read about your worrying time Vanilla

Lovely day here, two loads of washing drying well.

Been to the vet for the third time with the cat who has an ulcer on her eye. She's been through a tube of ointment and we're currently using eye drops and this morning she's had local anaesthetic and the eye scraped with a cotton bud If that hasn't helped by Friday she has to have a general and have it scraped with a needle Poor little Meg. She cringes every time I go near her now

half kitchen surfaces cleared & cleaned, lunch done for Devil Child, smoke alarms tested (which he totally ignored!! :eek:) had a little talk about what that noise means, and what he needs to do if he hears it (again!!). I have also made a call to order some more smelly candles that are on sale
I think I will make myself a sandwich, and then go to the park for a while so he can have a run

I've been reading this today and I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. Good luck with everything and stay strong - if not for yourself, then definitely for your children.

Vanilla I cant really say it any better!

I know its a bit futile but *hugs* anyway!

Afternoonies!

Hope everyone living in areas of London etc affected by the thugs (well, thats what they are!) are staying safe. Just heard that that guy who got shot last night has died. In itself its a horrible thing to happen, but hopefully it wont give others an 'excuse' to have a repeat of last night

Have decided that a lot of the flying this week up until thursday will be a bit pointless as weve got workmen in doing the windows for the next 2 days, so hoovering and dusting etc will be off the list til then!

Monday - Sitting Room and Hallway
Level One
Level Two
Sort out coats, shoes and bags
Level Three
Check those smoke alarms!

Extras

1. Catch up on some calls/emails (i.e. ebay!)
2. Binbag dance
3. Clean switches and sockets
4. Wipe the windows in these areas

Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
Level One
Clear and wipe worksurfaces
Clean the sink!
Level Two
Wipe fronts of appliances and units
Wipe small appliances and replace.. make sure the inside of microwave etc are sparkly and hygienic!
Level Three
Wipe over oven and hob.
Extras

1. Sort tea towels.. fling/donate (to pdsa/animal rescue /window cleaner) any that are shamefully manky!
2. Replace dish cloths that are gross
3. Empty and wash out bins!

Wednesday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
Level One
Clean floors in bathroom (cant do study as workmen boots will be there!)
Clean baths, toilets, don't forget the outside! and sinks
Level Two
Clear any clutter from desk
Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
Level Three
Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins!
Collect all the dirty laundry
Extra

1. Fling all those empty bottles and tubes
2. replace any sponges, flannels, toiletries that need it

Eeek! even after getting rid of the dusting and hoovering theres still plenty to do!

LameWolf

Oh my! I've only just got onto MSE for my lists, and so much grief happening to people I consider friends!:(

Jojo, Rach and anyone else living near the troubled areas, stay-safe vibes by the barrow-load for you. On the radio this morning they were talking about Liverpool, Brum, Bristol and Nottingham all kicking off.:( I just don't understand the mentality.:(

Oh vanilla.. how awful for you.. it is like everything you do and have done is being thrown in your face.. but if he isnt prepared to help himself you cant do it for him.. and sometimes you have to face up to the fact you have given all you can and the how much more is fair on you or the children? Look after yourself and those munchkins.. and !!!!!!!! to the estate.. let them gossip.. you may well find you get support form the strangest of places. Huge hugs to you all xxxxx

Vanilla (((HUGS))) and mega coping vibes. Piggers has said it very succinctly. I could weep to read of the anguish you've been put through.

While we're doing vibes, healing ones for Meg and Dogbot.

Right, I'd better go and see what needs to be done in the kitchen; I haven't actually been idle all morning, although I'm still having to do things in tiny bites; but I have already

• Walked Louie
• Done a machine-load of Mr LW's clothes and put outside
• Spent a large amount of time persuading Louie in from the garden - he just wanted to run round like a mad thing, yapping! (It's OK, our back garden is completely enclosed, so he's quite safe)
• Made pizza dough
• Put a loaf on to do in the BM
• Done Louie's postcard home ready for tomorrow
• Paid Mr LW's credit card bill (from his account, don't worry - we have access to each other's accounts online).;)
• Remembered to eat lunch:D

Onwards and upwards, then!;):o
