    Good news - Louis has just been captured and is on his way home! His stomach probably got the better of him - I will know more tomorrow, bet his owners are soooo pleased!
    I've only just caught up with the goings-on with Louis; I was all ready to get out the scrying crystal, but I'm pleased to see I don't need to.;)

    I'm bogged down today:( Should be Lounge day, but Mr LW is wfh, so Flying goes out of the window.:whistle: Have to catch up tomorrow, I guess.

    I've constructed the lasagne for lunch (and enough for tomorrow night's dins, as Mr LW will be late home tomorrow) so it just needs to be baked; Lucy has been out and fed; I have to do my Wii Fit and my Brain Training; we also have to go into town this afternoon for a LARGE meds run (6 items, all for me:() and a scurry round W@itrose. I also need to do my email (usually at least half a dozen surveys to do), and get my accounts/household spreadsheets up to date.

    Also, the GP wants me to have physio on my shoulder (it's still agony and I'm taking what seems like gallons of Oramorph to stay functional); but we have to wait til Mr LW has his May rota before we can make an appointment, as I can only go when he's available to drive me. We explained this on Saturday, and the receptionist said they'd wait to hear from him; this morning, they rang him (they have instructions to ring him not me, as I have telephone phobia) and were nagging him to make the appointment. Hopefully the work rota will appear today or tomorrow......:cool:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    took just over HHC but all shredding in box done, all old mags and newspapers culled, reciepts that need putting in spends book in a neat pile, post that needs dealing with or replying to in another pile and two bag brown bags now outside instead of cluttering up the lounge.

    dusting done in lounge and hall, hall floor mopped as polish oversprayed and made floor slippy when i was doing banisters, 2nd load of washing hung out and 3rd load in wm

    Painfree vibes to those needing them.

    I'm teaching DS1 a lesson.
    6pm last night Me "L have you packed your pe kit" L"Yes"
    8am L"Don't ask me if I have packed my pe kit, I have everything"
    10.30am L"Mum can you bring my tracksuit bottoms to school at lunchtime" Me"No,I'm not at home." L"When can you bring them?"
    Me"I can't". L "Suppose I will have to borrow some or wear my school trousers then" Me "No reply"
    12.40pm He has just been home to collect them and hasn't asked for a lift back to school. Next time maybe just maybe he may pack his bag.

    I'm holding out or this could go on for years.

    LR is shipshape.

    Afternoon all, I did the living room and hallway yesterday so I just needed to tidy round today. One load of washing done. I've recycled some clothes and put the other recycling bins out. Some now emptied, just the food bin left.

    Hope everyone's OK.

    I am making progress. :j I can't find my MOT so i can Tax the car but i've just phoned the garage and they said they can print me off one for £10. I'm going to search high and low before i get one printed off. :D I've sorted a whole drawer full of paperwork and half filled a black bag with shredding and a recycling bag with paper. I now have a small pile to file. I've got to stop now though because i have to pack my sales and go to the post office and market before i pick up Ds2. Just going to tidy up the mess i've made a bit first.
