    afternoon all :hello:
    decluttered a bit and cleaned paintwork at lunch time.

    Mrs C i think the quiet at work was down to me not wanting to ask the question, but, it looks like from the end next month I will have more time for flying and being MSE OS. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted :(

    hugs to Vanilla and anyone else in need. Healing vibes coming to those in need as well.

    Awww, Shellysue, that's a bummer.:(
    Just got to remember that I don't have to do it all!! So not worrying about my oven today!!
    Absolutely right.... it took me a while to get my head around putting "not needed" if it really doesn't need to be done.:D
    Also, it amazed me to realise just how much of it my lovely husband does, such as the outsides of the doors and windows, and all the hoovering and ironing. I think it makes a heck of a difference if you can get the other occupants of the house on board - not always easy though, I know.:o I'm lucky - Mr LW lived alone for many years so he had to learn to do housework as he didn't want to live in a pigsty.:D

    He's on late shift today, and I know he has a couple of changes to apply after 18:00, so don't know quite when he'll be in. But we're prepared - quiche for dins, just chuck it on the plates with a bit of salad. Seemples!:rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
