Thank you Dusty for guidance on how to copy and paste properly. And for doing the thread
Yesterday I went and did some last minute shopping and when I got home hoovered the whole of the ground floor as it was covered in dog hair and wood shavings. I also brushed the dogs so I don't have to deal with it again today.
LW thinking of Mr LW for next week. It will be a difficult one for him. Hoping all is going well for sea_farerswife. I am thinking of you too. Hopefully some exciting news soon.
Hi mama, welcome.
I have some news... DD is expecting baby in June. Not sure if I am allowed to tell you but have had to hold it in for what seems like ages
I have 30mins until DH comes home for lunch so I am going to try to write a letter and write at least 5 cards for posting.

So impressed by myself; needed to go to the garden centre to buy a few presents so I put some soup to cook (carrot, potato and leek) int he AGA before I went out and came back cold and hungry to it. I did burn my hand on the lid and drop the blender making a mess so don't be too in ore:rotfl:
So that is a few more presents sorted. I'm going to pop to the shed and pot up some amaryllis now I have the pots and then have an hour in the living room hand sewing and card writing.
More shopping tonight whilst DS3 is at athletics. Just off to update my list.
JoJo and LW hugs to you both for your pain, I'm glad you are getting some relief from your medicationThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Spend 15 [STRIKE]minutes[/STRIKE] seconds with your feet up thinking about your New Year resolutions. Play more music. That'll do.
Need to zap off to the library to return Minion's books. I offered as it was so foul last night (I got severely rained on coming back from the gig), I don't really want her out in the dark any more than absolutely necessary.
Also trying to see if I can get hold of a cheap futon for the living room - the old leather sofa has been great, but it's shredded by cats, only seats 2 but takes up the space of at least a 4 seater. And you can't sleep on it. Freecycle is my first port of call.
Cleaned the grot pile in my bedroom earlier. I am running out of clothes as they are self destructing after so many years - which is even more obvious when I actually put stuff away and see how little is there.
Also hand brushed the rug with continual assistance/attack from Dizziee the Ninja Kitty. So much fluff!!! And, after the long haired ginger/tortie cat bits, unfeasibly long white whiskers and claw sheaths, the blue fluff pile was huge too!
Must go - I think the books are due back today and not tomorrow.
I'm keeping the meds for nighttime, I think. Far too much to do to get wasted all day as well.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
Doing very well today. All mending done now.
LAST POSTING DATE FOR PARCELS IS TOMORROW
Next prep dinner, write a few cards, sort a drawerThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0
