just doing a list update, flyed breify this morning with DH so whilst it was short it was intensive! had some random cat however do its business in front of my washing machine in my washing basket :mad::mad::mad: so am not impressed, DH has cleaned it for me and also moped the kitchen floor and then flash wiped the bit where it went just to be on the safe side. have now decided to lock the cat flap permanently and just let jinks out as and when. he has spent most of the past few days inside anyway but i feel mean taking away his freedom like that.

Not sure how i've managed it but list completed.

Good news - DS doesn't need an op until he's stopped growing! He just needs to see a physio - I am soooooooooooooooo relieved!

Children off to my mum and dad's for tea so think i'll do a bit of wrapping xx

im going for a bath whilst i can move, and in the spirit of flying whilst im waiting on the bath to run i will give the bathroom a quick clean.

Mmmm. This is an interesting thread!
I'd like to join in, but have the excuse of being off sick at the mo so I can't throw myself into the chores with as much gusto as I'd like.
*coughs gently
I do want to get the office and what I affectionately call the den (the cats have pretty much taken over the room!) tidied and did a little bit of the office this afternoon.
I'd like to do a bit more of it tomorrow and then have a wee potter in the den, cats permitting....

The idea of doing these other jobs on a daily basis makes sound sense to me. I'd like to try it!

Spent two hours outside. Opened the french doors and bleached all the mould off.

You have now changed my mind on getting a cat flap!!

seafarers_wife

wendy, i would get a cat flap as its so convienient for you rather than opening doors all the time, but next time we get one we will be getting either a chip reader (mega expensive) or magnetic collar one. this cat that we have coming in the house doesnt wear a collar so not sure if its a stray or not as its also eating Jinks food :mad:


thanks for the driving licence bit, will get form tomorrow.

Welcome catslovelycats.:beer: There are a fair few of us who don't fly with as much gusto as the hale and hearty; so you'll have lots of company. Hoping whatever's wrong is sorted soon, and that you'll then be feeling on top of the world, of course.:o Personally, I find the thread stops me going at everything like a bull at a gate on "good" days and knocking myself into Wednesday week in the process!:D

To report progress.... The lounge is now clean and as dust-free as I can do with my poorly shoulder, so I'm up to scratch with the list so far;;) I've done my HHYoga, and will do my Brain Training in a few minutes.:o

Wish me luck for tomorrow morning folks - I'll be using the wheelchair, as last time I tried hobbling, and nearly keeled over in a dead faint when I got outside, such is my needle-phobia.:(

Right, I need to keep my appointment with Dr Kawashima;) then I must get tonight's pizza constructed.:o
