    ooooh at last I can join in!

    Today Hubby and I (mostly I ;) ) created what I'm calling a FerretMobile....for vet runs and travelling with them on public transport (we don't have a car). I'm so chuffed with it :D

    And Hubby has re-strung the airer at last - that's been outstanding for weeks

    Plan for tomorrow, clean my oven. I found two cans of oven cleaner under the sink.

    Hrrrmmm, I wonder what it will take to get my beloved OH to do it?:D
    I'm not that way reclined

    Jewelry? Seriously? Sheldon you are the most shallow, self-centered person I have ever met. Do you really think that another transparently-manipu... OH, IT'S A TIARA! A tiara; I have a tiara! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me! Put it on me!

    My NSJ today was washing the spare bedroom curtains. Sure I'll find something else to do tomorrow but haven't decide what yet.

    Yesterday I went with Oh to one of our two rental properties to ready it in preperation for new tenants moving in next Thursday.

    OH has done some redecoration and I cleaned windows inside and out. all paintwork inside and out and hoovered all the way through. Looks good enough to move into :D

    On returning to my own home I looked in disgust at my own front door and windows which are well over due to be done.

    Hmm maybe a job for another day.

    Cut open a few hundred rosemary teabags (an approved foods offer a long while back) and decanted in to a couple of small kilner jars. Good job I love rosemary. :D

    I reorganised and cleaned the shelves on which I keep the rice/ pasta/ noodles and the dried fruit/ yeast/ nuts etc. (Then I used the list I'd made to help plan the next fortnight's meals :D)

    I'll be cleaning the windows tomorrow and deferring my student loan. Now THAT is non- standard in anyone's parlance!
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    The only NSJ i have done today is organised some cross stitch patterns from my old magazines. About halfway through the stack but i do a few each day so that its not overwhelming.

    Other than that a bit of a lazy day as Im not feeling to well.

    This thread gave me the kick up the butt I needed to get moving! Finally cleared away the spare room of all my bargain Christmas cards and crackers I got in the sales. And I managed to get DH to put a cabinet up in the loo and put a clock up, both of which my son made in S6 (He left S6 a year ago lol) and they also have been sat on the floor in spare room for all that time :o

    I have also been through all my cookery books and have been ruthless. (I have at least 50!:eek:) Some are now listed on Amazon or Green metroplis :T

    Tomoro's NSJ will be to list a few things on flea bay :D.......maybe!
