well I've given up on the kitchen and dining room today I think, am rather tired and ache, but I am currently sorting out the clean washing and putting it away, so being productive none the less.

Yep Jo will join you for HH in the Bedroom... ooooh that sounded rude lol

does anyone else find that when tidying one room, other rooms end up getting somewhat messier, with the stuff that you put in there moving from one room to another?

Yip - that happens a lot here because some stuff just didnt actually have a home, eventually you find a place for everything and the moving it permanently between rooms becomes less and less.

Im hoping i wont have this problem after I move as it will be all thrown away....

Come on then Missy moo - me and you, in the bedroom.... :rotfl:

Congratulations on the weight loss. I know how hard it is as I'm doing it as well. Think of the house work as exercise - running a hoover round is HARD work.:D

Do you not heat them before serving? In which case the eg would cook? Theyll be fine anyway.. esp if bought ones theyll most likely used eggs from battery chooks which are vaccinated.

i made mine (from a packet anyway lol) but they are only cooked part the way through so the middle is still liquid and runny so the egg is heated but it isnt cooked iyswim? my eggs were free range.

congratulations on the weight loss raphanius.

Well Jo, how was it for you, lol? I've been busy, forgot the time almost! Have tidied the bedroom and have actually hung up all of the clothes! Have sorted out piles of washing into colours and sorted out what needs ironing. Have sorted the bags for charity shop, really need to put them outside ready for the collection tomorrow. Have sorted out more stuff for my hospital bag, really need to get it out of the car and repack it. Have sorted wardrobe and more stuff for fleabay. Have also bleached the ensuite toilet and chucked out the rubbish from the bathroom, oh and hung up the washing, So not too bad.

3. [STRIKE]WMx2[/STRIKE]
4. [STRIKE]TDx2 plus un-TD-able stuff on radiators[/STRIKE]
5. [STRIKE]Cleaned out deep fat fryer [/STRIKE](doing too much shredded cripsy chicken/beef coz it had a tick coaring of cornflour on the bottom!)_pale_
6. [STRIKE]Called KH regiment and passed on info to solicitors[/STRIKE] (he will not be happy when he gets back off exercise! but thats not my problem!!)

my big decision from last week has been changed around! i had decided to stop trying to get my divorce coz KH was making it too difficult but today i decided to give it 1 last go and called and managed to get the welfare officer who got the welfare clerk to call me and they have been so so helpful! i now know exactly where he is and they are now aware of the situation of him ducking and dodging the solicitors and has offered for me to have my solicitors send her the letters and paperwork so she can personally ensure he receives them and is passing the information up the chain of command and forsees that he will be seriously disciplined when he returns!!! she is also looking into why the last letter my solicitors sent him was returned with "addressee gone away" rather than be sent to the correct place seeing as it had his name, rank and number correctly on it, correct regiement just the wrong barracks.

finally something is going right for me and im having a bottle of wine to celebrate!
