aww, i remember crying buckets over my budgie, Joey. Really got stuck in yesterday. I wouldn't say ive caught up, but am getting there. Decided life is too short to be listing the items i have on ebay, as the place is a recovering s---hole, so am rewarding myself by boxing them for charity, Have a nice day everyone.0

Morning lovelies! :wave:
Awww Jue, I cried buckets when my Hamster died, hugs for your DS x
Congrats on the blue one, piggers :j
Cleaned my bathroom (for the first time) been so busy unpacking/putting curtains etc up/tidying I never got round to actually cleaning it, so I decided today was the best day as I've only got one job (will clean it fortnightly) also done the cloakroom toilet, there's an awful lot of paintwork in both rooms that need doing now compared to before when there was none, it's taken 45 mins to do both :eek:
Got my bedding in the WM and will hang on the line before I head off to work. Kitchen only needs a minimal amount doing, will knock up a curry for tea when I get in (chicken needs using) and will remake my bed with the clean line-dried (yum!) stuff.
Lots of pottery things to do so will go and do them now.
Laters gators x
ooh ooh! New oven is now working :cool: :j need to do a shopping list for Aldi tomorrow sometime today too. It's all go isn't it, no wonder I can't remember what the heck I'm doing from one minute to the other hahahahahaha x0 -

Well so much for me catching up. Had a quick whizz round and shined my sink, wm x1 and out on line. Needed to find some sandals, so called my elderly gran, who isnt very mobile to see if sh fancied a little ride out. So we got half way round the centre only for nursery to call. The other one as got the pox now, and can I come and get her.
So, gran had enough anyway, took her home, then went to collect littlest. She was outside, in all this sun, with a thick coat on, and her lips were blue she was so cold, poor little mite.
She soon warmed up in the car, though, and is now watered, medicated, and in bed. Gonna put my feet up for an hour while I can. Today was supposed to be a day off lol.
Was nice to see my granny out and about though...Bossymoo
