Afternoon all
Spent the day so far with street party prep with my neighbour (forcast is glum though) and laundry.
Woody has been off colour for a few days and I've now discovered an weeping abscess on his head. Bathed with salt water but as he is unwell taking him to the vet in 30 minutes rather than an emergency appointment over the holiday weekend.
Oh and I did clean the bathroom this morning. I'll pop into Mr A which is close to the vet whilst DS2 stays in the car with the cat.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Evening all
Been working today so nothing done, the only thing crossed from today's list is because I haven't got any pets
The only other thing I've done is put away the meat from the delivery that came with my weekly fruit & veg box. And I've downed a small glass of wine as the kids are out, I've been on my feet all day and I'm aching, it's lovely and quiet on my own and I feel like spoiling myself :beer:

hello all
am less than chuffed. Spent close to £200 on DS's new glasses in the naive belief that, as a dependant, I would get the money back from the health plan (DS had headaches)
they've rejected on the grounds that their T&Cs state dependants must be under 18 (as well as dependant, obviously)
Have fired off an e mail stating I believe their T&Cs unfair as he is definitely dependant on me, moreover I receive child benefit for him.
Anyway LOTS of washing done - and I have flowers:D
If they still won't 'relax' their rules I think I will take this one to the ombudsman - not had a 'good' fight in ages;)Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Yeah valli fight the good fight.
The fact you still get CB for him is a big plus for you. Is he recently 18 and doing 'A' levels?*If you have nothing nice to say... say nothing*"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr0 -
Have took up the carpet runner in the hall, binned rug grip, cleaned floor and skirting by hand so as to get in all the corners! Will replace runner with new rug grip in morning. Looks loads better...

Morning lovelies! :wave:
Mrs MP Vibes for your niece, give her a collective Flylady cuddle from us all x
Hope all sickies are feeling better asap.
Huge congrats to G&B well done chick :T
AF must be looming judging by the time tsk! Got work today for a couple of hours and working Monday and Tuesday too, if I don't go I don't get paid so no 4 day weekend for me, which is a bit of a bummer but it's ok I'd only waste it anyway
Not planning on doing much, house is still ticking over nicely, got some washing to do and will do a potter round with the hoover. I don't post much due to not really needing the lists anymore.
listy:-
WM
load DW with few bits
dry washing
tidy LR
hoover through
wipe LR door
sort some clothes
work 2 hrs
sort tea
poss clean bathroom
pay bill online
Re-organised all my kitchen cupboards last weekend so they now flow better, I've got a few empty which is good cos I like space/empty-ness :cool: just need to tackle the brick shed and get that the same hahaha off to potter now, laters x0 -
Morning,
Have just been downstairs and floor feels slightly tacky where rug grip was. Might have to turf tots out into garden and give it another scrub. We also have two little shrubbies to plant, and the spuds need moe muck on them.
Other than that we have grannies and grampsies coming today. My mum coming for company, as stepdad is working all weekend, mil coming as she likes our hairdresser, and he is also coming after lunch, and FIL is coming as he has offered to help put my new bed together, when it arrives.
So expecting a bit of a house full, which should be nice, the children will enjoy, especially!
Not much flying required, just keeping on top of kitchen with lots of people in and out...
Have a lovely jubilee weekend, hope the weather perks up a bit. Dry here so far today but looks quite murky...Bossymoo

Morning!!
Nice to see you embb :wave: I'm working today and Tuesday so I'm sort of with you!
Bossy can we have a pic of your new bedroom when it's all done, it sounds fab. I am very nosey
Well all I've done this morning is get up and almost dressed, just need to iron my jeans and put some makeup on (don't want to scare the customers) and I'm out that door. Hopefully I'll have some more decluttering to report later as I'm taking things to the CS where I'm working so win/win situation.
It's looking a bit doubtful here so I'm taking a brollie. Not going to put out any washing, the stuff I did last night is hanging on the doors and best it stays there or if it does rain the lazy bumpkin teens will just look out the window and think oh it's raining, the washing is getting wet, and go do something else :mad: Oh and I've deliberately left the DW needing to be filled and set off that's the least they can do while I'm out.
