    I am in. Lovingly polishing my shiney new worktops



    What do you hate about it Pollybear?

    I hate it because I haven't got my dog any more (and it's not practical to get another dog - anyway, I don't want any other dog, I want my Polly dog). Walking on your own is pretty boring and although I do try to say "good morning" to other people, a lot of them look at you like you're a nutter :(

    Ignore me, I'm just a misery, just let me whinge about it!


    Enjoy your lovely new worktops :)

    Didn't get much done today thanks to the dizziness! :(

    However I did get a rubber carpet brush I ordered to get into the corners and remove dog hair - the tiny bit I tested worked well! I have the crevice tool on the Dyson but this seems to work better - and quicker! I really wanted it for the car but will see how I get on with it.

    Back to work tomorrow hopefully, and flying!

    Morning All

    Busy nights today and tomorrow - I'll be home for about 45 mins tonight, just time to walk the dog and possible get changed then I'll be home for just over an hour tomorrow night and I need to sort tea in that time too so don't think a lot will be getting done. Just about to get up and wash the dishes and do another HHI then get the kids up.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Still feeling woozy but work calls - they get funny about time off if you are ill - if I'm no better once I'm in I'll do what I have to and come home again.

    List for today looks good so will see what I feel like doing later - have a good day everyone!

    Morning all, seems DD isn't feeling great so she's off school. DS1 should be back to school today but it will depend what he's like when he gets up. BIL seems to have got the bug from DS2 so looks like it's gonna get around..

    Right best get DS1 up and see what he's like..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning everyone x

    I'm up and ready for work with a healthy breakfast inside me. I've refilled the budgie's seedpot and written a cheque for the gas bill - bill & cheque are now in my bag and I'll call at the Post Office on my way home tonight to get that paid.

    Think I'll leave myself a note to remind me to fill in my part of the Student Finance renewal form tonight- before DS starts to panic :D Bet that is more than HHP!!!

    Hi-ho hi-ho it's off to work I go.

    Have a good day lovely ladies
