    I really must get this brainfog dealt with.... I read it as "Dinner sorted: cat food".


    That made me laugh!:rotfl:

    I managed to walk from work to Post Office in high street today - first time for ages and without my stick for support - ok ish at the time although the traffic fumes set me wheezing a bit. But I am feeling it tonight as both my knees hurt and my head is pounding. So I am decluttering more painkillers, thyroid meds and cortisol with a cuppa and then I really must start sorting the bags in the hall.?
    Hope everyone is ok?

    Like the idea of Minion being exposed to Tom Waits as the drumming on his records is of the "less is more" variety:D

    All well round here, busy sorting out for a craft fair in Bearwood High Street on Saturday and a few shelves have been dusted while I've been unearthing materials...there is enough room in a cupboard to Put Things Away:rotfl:

    Christmas cards from me and Him Indoors have been made and some even posted:eek:

    And on Sunday, it will be time for a Toots List and Christmas Plan. I have no idea who's turning up on the doorstep over the Festive Season so it's as well to be a bit sorted.:snow_laug

    Kaz - may have a new pencil case upstairs (aquired for free) I'll check and if I do it's yours

  • Good evening :D

    I have had a busy day working, so I haven't done much flying. 1 load in WM (DH put it in TD, & took it out again :T). He also cut the grass (hopefully for the last time this year - but it is still so warm - relatively).

    I am a bit pee'd off with Royal mail. I got back from toddler group this morning to find a jffy bag package by my front door, tucked slightly behind a plant pot. the jiffy bag was ripped, and I could see it was the ring i ordered from Samuels for DD1's xmas pressie!! Postie had obviously tried the letter box, ripped the bag in the process & dumped it behind the pot!! :mad::mad: I have even had an umbrella stolen from outside my front door, so a white gold ring would have been easy pickings! :mad: Lazy so & so. He is new, and that is the only post i have had all week!! At least DD2's camera was delivered safely by courier this afternoon :)

    I should be studying, but I am waiting for Corrie & Celebrity, so am just chilling tonight. I just have to discuss things on the course forum this week, so I may do that at the same time :p

    GI get on the email and make a complaint. That is unacceptable service, and needs to be nipped in the bud. Thank the gods the ring was still there!:eek:

    £4 selection boxes on offer in Tesco's buy 1 get 2 free, except you only end up paying £3 in total, some sort of glitch, but it only works on the £4 selection boxes. (other priced ones are available)

    Just to clarify, we ate our food, the cat ate his food!

    Morning All

    The kids want me to take them to Mr As this morning as they want Pudsey ears or a T-shirt but that will depend on how quickly they're ready. Not sure what's happening tonight we'll have to see.

    I'll be wearing purple today.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
