    [don't be hurt, I got all the stick when I bought a red handbag a few years ago, so it's just letting you know what he's going to say before your OH opens his trap when he's back on dry land] :D:D:D


    Oh this did make my DD's and I giggle :rotfl:

    Happy Birthday to MOAM!

    Barely fluttered today - just the most urgent stuff, of which there wasn't much. I don't hold out much hope for the weekend, either. With DS's tax return, preparation for internal inspection, report writing and DS1 getting ready for his trip on Monday it's going to be a busy one. I'll try to be around, but don't think I'll achieve much.

    I may also have to declutter some money soon for a HPV vaccine for DS1. Just seen a documentary and realised that it's not just an issue for girls, but vaccines for boys aren't available on the NHS. Some more research is in order.

  • Good evening :D

    Tax return is done :j:j with nearly 2 weeks to spare ;)
    I have also filed some paperwork, walked the dog (with DH), cleaned a toilet, cancelled the d/d for the laptop insurance (will be flinging it after the weekend :)) and written up one more observation. That is 2 items off my frog list :j

    DH cooked dinner, and washed up & cleared the kitchen :T He has gone back to work now :( Just catching up on 'Enders as I missed it earlier as I was studying :A (taking part in an online discussion) and then i am off to bed. Night night all.

    Morning All

    You wouldn't believe how much my house has deteriorated this week because I haven't done anything and left the kids to do their own thing. I just haven't felt like it with toothache and my Grandad dying but the devastation's ridiculous and they're 8 & 10 so not babies. Anyway, I've put the WM on this morning - mainly clothes that were just lying about in the LR floor! - and I've done a HHC in the kitchen. Still loads more needs doing - I haven't even hoovered this week and with having the dog that's awful. I've also cooked a load of mince for the dog as it's now out of date because I couldn't be bothered with cooking it! I'm just a waste of time.

    Anyway I've made a start this morning and I'll do some more tonight if all goes to plan.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    Sazbaz - yes you can shove your shower curtain in the WM - that's what I do.

    Happy Birthday poohbear - hope you have a great day!

    Keys - good luck for today - lots of passing vibes heading your way.

    Hope you're feeling better this morning wannabee in credit.

    Hex - take it easy today.

    Hope I haven't forgotten anyone.

    Mrs Chaos please can you show me the link about the boys and HPV link?

    JJ my house is just the same when I down tools for a few days. Don't be hard on yourself you have had alot to deal with this week. It took my ages to settle down when my Grandmother passed away. I can still have a wobble now and it's 2 years in April.

    Downstairs ironing basket empty. Woo hoo!
