    We'll keep movement and noise to the minimum, GG I know you need your beauty sleep :rotfl:
    OMG Tilly, just reading your diary exhausts me:o
    I have a kitchen full of washing up to do, a pile of laundry to fold / iron and put away that's in DDs room so i don't have to look at it, a hoover that hasn't been plugged in for :o:o:o weeks (double OMG there), a dog who's forgotten what a walk looks like etc etc etc. Off to do something productive - hangs head in shame and shuffles off, trailing dust and cobwebs behind her:rotfl:
    Now Polly, you know you can't leave all that dust in your wake - I'll have to get DS to dust and polish :)

    Happy days, Mr T is home and DD returns tomorrow.

    I have meal planning to finish but that's not going to be tonight, or tomorrow at this rate :eek:

    Given I want to food shop tomorrow, it could make for an interesting menu next week.

    One of my beautiful hounds has hurt their leg. Very sad to see him limping. I'll be calling the vet in the morning and hopefully can get him an appointment.

    He just may be coming upstairs to have a cuddle with mum :rotfl:

    Sweet dreams, Tilly x

    He's very comfy now :)

    Well, maybe, but I bet my laundry piles are bigger than yours. ;)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

  • Morning, hard to believe it's Friday already and very much looking forward to the long weekend.

    Mr T is calling FD first thing to open a second account, although if we can figure it out, we may do it online. Have to ask them to link to offset once it's open
    Definitely have to take hound to the vets :(

    Busy day ahead but I worked on something yesterday which will save a fair bit of time each week, so good investment. I'll be checking it out today :)

    Looks like Monday will be a good day - as I still have painting to do, fingers crossed it stays that way.

    Have a good day, Tilly x

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    On a more serious note, am hoping for the best for your dog at the vet.

  • Hound is looking decidedly chipper now he's home :rotfl:

    Cheeky monkey walked in without a limp - do you think he's doing it for attention :o

    Thanks Lydia

    I'm glad your doggy's OK Tilly. Mine does a perfect 'I'm such a sweet puppy-dog' face whenever she goes to the vets, they are always taken in by it! Today she rolled in something unmentionable in the garden while OH was talking to the architect :rotfl:

    Just out of interest, what type of hounds do you have? I'm researching a rescue lurcher at the moment :D
