    Morning All

    Dog woke me up at 4.25 wanting to go out so I'm now up! WM is on and I'm just about to wash some dishes and do a bit of ironing. I stripped DD's bed yesterday so that's done and I may do DS's later or tomorrow.

    Hope LW , mumto5 and anyone else feeling poorly or feeling better today.

    Hope work is better for everyone today too.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    Morning

    You make me feel tired juliejim! I think I would have gone back to bed afterwards.

    At home again today so just having a cuppa and will then try and chase DD out of her bed for school. DS is coming home later today until Sunday so cant wait for that, will need to think what lovelys I can cook for his tea.

    I dont have a headache this mornng which is the first time I havent had one since Friday so thats a positive too. Hopefully will get lots done.

    Right off to stir up DD, back later

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    On littley's netbook as my Laptop went kapput so a new charger was bought, still didn't work, so a new battery is now on it's way, process of elimination, which is great but it's costing me a fortune which I don't have, still, access to the internet and all you lovelies is worth it.

    Been given a date of March 14 for my move back in day :eek: so that will be 9 weeks in total which seeing as I was initially given 6-8 I was none too happy about, unfortunately they caught me on the wrong day yesterday and it was the straw that broke the camels back so even though I was polite they knew I wasn't happy, feel a bit embarrassed now though cos I felt ok after a good cry and a few swearwords, oh and a few door slammings :o:rotfl: at least the house will be totally done and I wont still need the snag list doing like the other ones have. I've just gotta get on with it.

    Work 9.30 till 5 today, 3 houses back to back so I won't be good for anything come tea-time :rotfl: one of my lovely customers however has taken it upon herself to give me a payrise because she'd noticed I hadn't put my prices up for a couple of years, it was very welcome and I'm very grateful so that was good :T

    Love and hugs all round *mwah* won't bother typing up a list cos I wont do it :o I will however probs do some dailies.

    laters folks x

    Morning everyone, was up early but my eyes show it unfortunately. Just glad that it's not only my dog who sometimes wakes up at 4am. Anyhow, have vacuumed and swept through house, dusted/polished master bedroom and wiped all the window ledges. Work now beckons so will be fit for nothing later.
    Spend less now, work less later.
