Have just remembered to book my taxi for the airport tomorrow
I'd been thinking of driving as it's only Southampton rather than heathrow, but after realising how late I'll be getting back and checking the parking costs I decided a taxi was more sensible...
WM is on with the mattress topper in, TD is on with sheets and stuff in, DW is full and on, and stff that didn't fit in is in the sink to be washed up with breakfast stuff tomorrow. I think it's time to finish making the bed (only the duvet cover to go) and have a bath and an early night before sorting out the packing and rest of the clearing up in the morning. I've had the wood stove on which has warmed the sitting room nicely, tested the heating, and none of the radiators need bleeding (need to test properly with all the TRVs open fully at some point, and the underfloor heating has been on low in the bathroom, so it should be nice and warm by now!0 -
Well the wallpaper stripping in lounge never materialised as I forgot my dad was coming to wallpaper the kitchen and therefore items from kitchen were stored in the lounge, so nowhere to move the sofas too!
Just put DW on
Will change bedding a remake bed before 11pm! and then probably get in it!
My knitting has progressed a treat today as 98% of my flying was done during the week.
Goodnight all x0 -
Good evening
Not done much flyingDW on this morning, and that is about it. Electrician has been & we have an electric supply in the summerhouse :j DH has been home today, but he is working tonight, tomorrow & tomorrow night
DD1 & 2 are at the O2 watching Katy Perry. They need to get themselves home on the train, so i need to pick them up from the station at about 12.30 :eek: I must remember NOT to go to bed!!DH, DS & I went out for a late lunch, then took the dog for a walk.
I haven't been flying, but I did a little studying this morning, and looked at some paperwork.
Tomorrows plan is to finish the study block I need to do, do some washing & other stuff I haven't thought of yet!
Happy Birthday Toots! I hope you have had a lovely day
Pigpen - I know i am wasting my time, but PLEASE take it easy

have had quite a productive day
ordered my online shopping (from bed, before even getting up !!)
tidied and hoovered the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room, just need to hoover the stairs tomorrow
also caught up with all of the laundry (well one load of towels to load into the td but that's it)
parceled up my catalogue returns, just need to book the courier
reset my iPad and downloaded the stuff I actually want rather than what was on it when I inherited if from OH
made a list of things to do tomorrow (work stuff)
House is looking good!!
My back however is really aching now so I have had some tramadol and I'm off to bed
Night all
xxxGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
I've had a nice soak in an epsom salt bath, made some hot water bottles, put the TD on for a bit longer as the bedding and towels weren't dry and out my sheepskin boots in on a 30C wool wash ... They can dry in the spare room with the dehumidifier on over the next few days.
List made for tomorrow and for packing. Taxi firm is ringing to confirm at 8am which will at least get me up and going as there is a lot to do ... If I sort the laundry and empty the DW while I'm making breakfast, I can pack afterwards, then finish emptying the utility room, then hopefully have time to shower before I change for the trip! It's Dublin this time, so not too far. The sales team are nice, clients are nice and the hotel is lovely. And they asked for both me and OH, so we're both going which is nice.
Clean sheets and towels already have blood on themwhen this treatment is finished I'm going to get new bedlinen and towels, but there's not much point at the moment. I just hope it hurries up and works. If the bleeding stops i'll also be in with a chance of the anaemia being fixed... Its getting better but this last round of bleeding has definitely set me back. I just hope it slows down while I'm away, as otherwise the trip is going to be complicated...

Kaz - I have christmas booked and still have 10 days holiday left to take but can't work out when to take it! I need to do some planning when I get back, before my diary fills up! Next hospital appointment is the day after I get back so hopefully I'll know more after that.
I'm now pretty much packed - suit etc, smart dress in case of client dinners, jeans and walking stuff for time off. Electronics, makeup and toiletries just need to go in. And i did remember to dig out my passport too! The utility room is empty except for some drying up which needs to be done, and the mattress cover which I need to take out of the dryer. I really hope it will all be finished when I get back, as it'll be bad enough having the plasterer here!
So plenty of time for a shower and getting myself organised!0 -
Washing machine running through a 95" wash then I shall disconnect it and clean out the filter and get the drawer through the DW
2 loads of towels done and on the line.
ALL the beds, inc mine that Dot was sick in this morning, are to be stripped in a bit as soon as Dot goes to sleep.. she has been awake about an hour which is unheard of! She is in her chair but I darent move in case Squeak breaks her!
I need to shower and deflea the girls ready for school tomorrow.
I aso need to scrub out the fridge and measure the gap to see if I need to whizz the fascia off the wall units. The fridge-freezer and the old WM are going to DS1s.. he has no freezer and no washer so this will be better than nothing.. and I shall give him some quids to fill the FF up and I am buying him some new socks when I next have some cash.. he has about 4 pairs and they all have holes in.. I hate holey socks, they distress me!
