    Hello everyone. An update from me:

    Vacuumed and swept through house
    Walked dogs twice
    Done the paid stuff

    and have done the following from today's list:

    Monday - kitchen

    Wipe the cupboard doors
    Clear a hotspot
    Empty and clean out your bins!
    Dust hard to reach places - cleaned top of cupboards as best I could without actually seeing them (DH says he will have a go) and pulled out cooker and cleaned behind ready for new one tomorrow.
    Sort a drawer - I joined the others and did the cupboard under the sink
    Decluttered a couple of small appliances by putting them on freecycle

    About to dish up dinner and then watch telly while grooming the dogs. I love doing that, it's so relaxing for them and me!
    Have a great evening everyone
    Spend less now, work less later.

    All done here.

    I didn't really notice screamers, my first I had an epidural and I think they hid me in the furthest corner away. My second I was only there 20min before she arrived, so I was sort of busy, lol. I did notice one in the next room after I had dd though, and, a bit goosed on gas and air, said to the midwife "what's her problem???" lol

    Think I was just relieved she was out, tbh...

    Hair dye on list for tonight...

    Yes, I love grooming dogs, too. Very therapeutic for arthritic hands, and the dogs always seem to love it! Can't wait for my next canine guest!:D

    Ah, I hear the sounds of the pink sack being fetched in from the shed - better go and make sure all the recycling goes in it as the bin men are due tomorrow.;)

    ETA: Right, we're organised: Green wheelie of garden rubbish is out; blue glassware box only has a couple of jars and a bottle in, so not worth putting out; black non-recyclable stuff sack has a tiny layer of stuff (mainly contents of the Dyson) at the bottom, so not worth putting out; pink recycling sack is in the kitchen; anything else that appears between now and 07:30 tomorrow morning can go in it, and Mr LW will tie the top and put it outside in the morning.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    If I'm squeezing a child out my lady bits I'll scream if I feel the need thank you very much. I wasn't a screamer but if I'd felt the need to I would have. There is a difference I think between screaming while you tear wide open as baby crowns and shrieking like a banshee every time you get a contraction.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    Greenbee~ if I wasn't so busy working / trying to save my business / temping to bring in extra money at weekends, I would love to come and do your garden, I have loads of aquilegias!! if I get a spare day / weekend etc and you are around I'll be down!

    I had a slug or snail in the green house and it ate some of my seedlings, I found salt seem to do the trick.

    About to do the ironing.....................

    Hope things start looking up business wise, shout if I can help!
