    It has been soo long I forgot how effective this HHC lark really is:rotfl:, since my last post I have

    1 x washing up - MUST get dishwasher fixed
    cleared off, cleaned and sorted out recipe book shelves x 2
    cleared out, cleaned out and restocked sugar cupboard (unplanned but was looking for ingredients for supper so seemed rude not to;))

    right off to sort out supper - chunky meatball soup with crusty bread!!!

    Then I will make a start on the dreaded learning journeys (cannot believe I've said that in front of witnesses:rotfl:).

    Did my HHP... only it took about 5 minutes! Did my expenses (phone and broadband are paid back by work if I remember to ask for it) and my filing.

    Clean towels and bathmat in bathroom. Need to remember to get wet towels out of WM and put them in the dryer.

    Clean bedding is out, so I need to make my bed, ideally before bedtime :o

    Babysitting tomorrow, so need to get myself organised. Including my preparation for tomorrow's work...)

    96bb5918.gifDusty, hope you had a lovely day yesterday :D And well done to your son on passing his theory test - now onto the actual driving test :D

    SWEnvelopeBalloons.gifVanilla, hope your day a good one :D

    JoJo glad your DD's test turned out negative and it seems that she has a bad bug after all. What on earth is the Drs like? And fancy suggesting A&E, do they not actutally know what A&E are supposed to be used for..well the mind wonders sometimes when you see some Drs.

    Ooooh woohoo on the new lappy Piggers - I bet you're like a little piggy in clover with your new toy :p

    Not sure what I have been upto the past couple of days - could someone give me an idea please.:rotfl: Today I had the stupid care worker come round for her usual fortnightly visit giving me the silly news that the psych refuses to act on my wishes. Well they can suffer the consequences..hehehehehe

    I have a pile of ironing that really needs to be doing, but I can't get motivated - think it is tomorrows 'frog' to be done :D

    Haven't done any flying that I know of.. well apart from the usual automatic ones :D

    Not sure how much I will get done today - only just got in from work and put dinner on!

    I always chage our bed on a Friday so it's nice for the weekend - no idea why but I always have! So that will be done later in the week. We have no landing to speak of, and that was hoovered yesterday with the stairs - as was most of the bedroom. The mattress was turned and hoovered a couple of weeks ago too - am I getting too ahead of myself here!

    Think I might just have a bit of a slumming it evening with DH and an early night - got to ring Mum later as it's 26 years ago since my Dad died and she's not too good according to my sister - she moved 140 miles away a few months ago (much nicer area and flat!) but I think she's feeling it a bit today. What with my sister passing away recently I'm a bit worried about her TBH.

    Hope everyone else has made better progress than me!

    What a nightmare day, car broke down about 45 miles from home whilst out working, had to get OH to come and call break down out so he lost his pay, and then the garage just said its going to be between £225 and £379 so all the money I had saved to pay extra on debts going to go. Then cos I didnt get home till 3 instead of 12 I had very little time to do any flying. Oh well this is what I managed today.

    Happy Birthday Vanilla!

    After an awful visit to the hospital this morning where I finally left at 10.45, I didn't manage to make the meet so I hope everyone had a good time. Not a lot has been done so far this week as I haven't been feeling too well but I feel a bit better tonight so I'm hoping to get some jobs done in the morning.

    Proof (if proof were needed) that my efforts to get my relationship with my ex on a friendly/sensible basis. He won't have the car Saturday. He has texted me, nicely, to ask if I can take the kids to his and then thanked me when I replied that I would.

    Had a lovely natter this morning!
