Morning everyone,
Had a busy day yesterday and a much later than planned evening so this morning, when I really need to be up and doing, I'm sat here trying and failing to find some motivation. BM and WM are not even on yet
I need to go to Stratford to get some bits, including a new curtain pole, not looking forward to bringing that home on the bus :rolleyes: but the living room will be so much nicer when I've got the curtains hung. I curently have inherited blinds which I do not like at all.
It's a busy morning on the canal, loads of boats, canoes and other assorted floating things going up and down. Raucous the goose is sulking with me because I was not here yesterday evening and over-slept this morning. He is parked up on the far side of the canal glaring at me. :rotfl: There is loads of junk in there again (mostly crisp packets and soft drinks bottles) so must add canal cleaning to my flylady list of jobs for the weekend
Fortunately my net is back in action, this time with a longer handle, just hope I can manage to use it!
Aside from the usual clean up I think I'll sow some salad leaves and herbs in their pots today, so it really is time I got moving!
Hugs to all who would like one, hope you feel well again soon anyone not feeling great today.
Bye for now. :wave:My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead
Proud to be a chic shopper

Morning all!
Well it is still morning! I have just spent what seems like forever going through comments on what is now known as a 'legendary' post on a livejournal community. Britney Spears shaved all her hair off, and people went crazy with the comments!
I got up early ish, was woken up by the postie... he fancies OH and knocked on the door expecting him to answer... instead he got me, haha. Then went back to bed and wasn't allowed back out for a while! Then I played some more Sims2 (I admit, I an addicted!) and then came online and got onto that post!
OH is still asleep, he's off for the long weekend. He'll be taking pup out for a walk soon and I'll have a run around with the hoover, put a load on the DW and compile the list of things I need to buy today for my lunches for tomorrow and the week.
Have to be up early tomorrow, at church hall for 8am, should be a good one though and hope to take some nice pictures with my new camera.
*Hugs* to those who need and/or want them x

Have just got back from the local shops, managed to resist getting another
rat as there was a very cute friendly grey and white one in the pet shop.
I have terrible fears and phobias about rats and mice, i can't bear their tails. I would rather do a bungee jump than be anywhere near a rat regardless of colour. Bye for nowAmazon No:170 -
Morning all,
Stayed up til 5. Woke up at half 10, but I'm not tired.
OH comes back from Taunton today - TBH I'm not really looking forward to it. Things haven't been so good lately.
So, got to tidy the flat up and make up some stuff for lunches next week.

I second that!!!!
Well, Ive cleaned all the settee's down. Leather is so easy to wipe down.
Done 3 loads of washing, TD working over time now.
Went to windsors shoe shop, got a pair of boots for me in the sale & trainers too. OH had a pair of trainers - 1/2 price. Ive saved a pair of hiking boots for DS, will collect them next saturday.
Shopping done at Netto, only fresh stuff like fruit, veg & bread to get from tesco tomorrow.
OH just getting ready to leave for football with DS
DD will be going with her dad for the wk end.
I might just pop off back to bed. I was going to tackle a browse around Next Clearance Store, but cant be bothered now.
Just had a text from my ex, to say his dad is back in hospital again, just waiting for details. I hope its nothing serious. Things have been going ok for him the last couple of weeks.
Catch you later, DS has just made me a cuppa!
Bye for now

For some reason it always appears to be the tails that people don't like. Then again I have a problem with the eyes of fish !!!
I don't think my rats would have appreciated a new cage mate anyway.Debts: Mum £3923 0% APR0 -

Well, me and DH went out on our kid-free nite out! We went to the pub and had a pitcher of "Long Island Iced Tea" in the happy hour for £9! little devils eh??? and then went to Wagamamas (yum), then got train home and having a cuppa by 9.30pm!! Gosh are we just a pair of party animals!:rotfl:

pollybear if its any comfort to you i felt the same as you, my mother died when she was thirty one and i was very apprehensive when i was that age but i am now fifty eight so please dont worry0 -
Yay!!
Had a chat with a good friend about my problems with OH, and he completely understood, talked things through and helped me clarify things and think straight. Now just to sort it all with OH when he comes home, but I feel much better about it now
Plus, one of my friends downloaded loads of mp3s onto my compy, and I've been trying to get them to him for ages but was restricted by the sie of email attachments?CDs etc. This morning i found a really good audio hosting place, so am currently sending him lots of new music!
