    Thanks.:o I'd be fine in a few weeks if only the rheumy would reinstate my Plaquenil.:( Mr LW helped me to compose a letter to her at the weekend (no email address, so has to be sent via snail mail) but I'm not holding out any hope that I'll get any relief, tbh.

    Lounge dragons are as dust-free as I can manage today.:o

    Roundtuit are you in need of a (((HUG))), mate?:o

    Bathroom and shower room all clean. New neighbours moving in at the bottom of the garden. They can surely not be any worse than the horrors we have put up with for the past 11 years!

    Awwww, bless! I'm not really a cat person but Ninja Kitty is a real sweetie.:o

    I didn't put the stick-to-the-sides-of-the-loo limescale buster round the loo yesterday as Mr LW was wfh, and it'd be flushed away in no time, so left it to do today.

    I've also tidied the cupboard under the sink, as some of the stuff was slightly out of it's proper position, and that annoys me as I need to be able to put my hand on the item I want without bending to look in the cupboard. Gave me chance to do a quick stock-take and see if we need any supplies, too.;) Kaz - please can I have this task instead of cleaning the kitchen windows? They really don't need doing, and I'm simply not safe on the step stool at present.:o

    LW~ you do what ever you can, you are formally dismissed from step ladders /stools and other such items! :D

    That is the same for all flyladies, if for what ever reason you cannot do it / not safe doing then please DON'T do it. Just subsitute some thing safely you can do, such as me time, read, knit, calls, craftying, cake making, cooking, mending, dusting low level, wiping some thing over etc.


    After this week, the gang of 3 leaders, will become 2, I have too much atm going on in real life, even with only once in 3 weeks to do lists and such like, I know I have only done the lists for a couple of turns, and like doing them, but I have to sort out other work stuff first. Thank you for all your support.

    I've been to the tip and dumped a load of old cardboard boxes, and 'wood' that may be useful one day,. well it has sat around for 10 to 15 years and not been useful so it has gone, ..............I just so know sod law is going to come round the corner..........:rotfl:

    JoJo, stoppit, I cant afford to feed another one! I had an e-mail the other day to say that advantage no longer needs a prescirption - may be worth a try rather than frontline?


    I have scrubbed some pointing tools, done the DW and the TD, and put away a MrS delivery. Is it nearly bedtime yet?
