    Afternoon all. It's a beautiful day here, this time last week I was fretting about the snow that was forecast and today it's like Spring! I still felt very miserable when I got up but I've bucked up a bit now.

    I cleaned all the bedrooms yesterday and did my bedding, so today I've stripped and remade DD1's bed. I've done three loads (count 'em) of washing and some of it has dried already. I've also handwashed the cat's blanket (angora hands after) and I've got that pegged on the side of the shed - I don't want it touching any of my proper washing! It has to drip dry because it's far to hairy to put in the washing machine.

    Cleaned the bathroom and toilet, that's my Thursday job.

    Also went out for my walk earlier, not enough money to buy a paper today.....


    I changed my avatar last night, I wonder how Soappie's BB is, I hope she's OK.

    I've listed another 2 items on Ebay I've emptied the kitchen bin and made and eaten dippy egg and soldiers for lunch.

    Polly loving that the cat has an angora blanket. A bit of sun is lovely isn't it. I'm going to prune the roses after lunch just to be outside for HH.

    DS3 clothes done - bag for chairty, bag for rags also 2 bags of other stuff for the scrap store so I'm hoping to get rid of all of that later. Trouble is he is now too short on clothes especially for when we are on holiday at Easter so I shall need to rummage in the loft and do a clothes shop.

    Just finishing lunch and have loads to do in the next 4 hours so best get to it.

    I'll send Dylan to chase BD away - he's B-I-G!!:D

    Flying thus far today has consisted of a WM load of my clothes (makes a change from always doing Mr LW's stuff);) plus removing the biggest poo ever from the back lawn, plus giving Dylan a once-over with his Zoom-Groom, which he loved.

    Got to dust round and generally tidy the bedroom later, but I'll take Dylan for a trundle to the field first, I think - I tried him with the mobility buggy yesterday, and he was brilliant, walking nicely, and not pulling.:T

    you did really well, its good to set a time limit sometimes isnt it
    right in my half hour
    a carrier bag of clutter mainly little plastic kinder egg type toys tatty poster from comics and a ratty old dream catcher that did nothing apart from shed old chicken feathers over the room have all gone out into the dustbin.
    found all the bits of the old pull cord from when dh swapped it fra switch so that all binned as well why did it sit there for a week it didnt look remotely like an ornament and hed tidied all his tools away when he finished so could easily have taken that as well!
    found 3 pairs of good trainers that are too small so they are going charity shop
    made the mistake of stripping the bed and swapping covers earlier so took duvet out and gave it a shake
    hoovered our room landing and DS2 room, DD3 has just hoovered her room other two rooms will have to wait as they are occupied at the mo by DD2 and DS1 unloaded wm and started next load just about to hang out, then going to stop for dinner.
    not bad in 1/2 hour really

  • just rescued the washing from the rain....:mad::mad::mad:

    3 washloads done - it is going on the rads now.

    Mt Ironmore mostly conquered - I will finish it sometime today.

    DD2 is improving - still not eating a lot but has had some potato wedges at lunch time. Thankfully her colour has improved and her eyes are less dark and sunk in her face.

    Hopefully she will be well enough to go back to school next week...
