Anyone up for a HHC with possible extension? I've been to Lidl and did a HHC in the kitchen putting shopping away and generally straightening things. Laundry is a WIP and I 've made lunch for myself and DS2. Going to have a look at the list and see where I fancy starting. No shortage of ideas there...
I can sympathise with your DH, Mrs MP. 14 years on I still wish I was buying mother's day cards and presents for my mum.
Anyone 'seen' Valli?
OK, best get going.0 -

Afternoon
Operation extreme hedge trim in the front garden in progress, one car load to the dump already, new pane of glass purchased as it is near the dump (well we went to the dump slightly further away as it is near the glass place). Three more loads to take to the dump yet.
Flying - cat bedding washed.
May get the rest of my list done tomorrow but hedge will take the rest of today.

Wow! just popped over for a look and THE FIRST post I read is you looking for me
been really busy and now I'm on a major downer. ExOH has a likely redundancy date so will stop paying child support.
The budget is SO tight...I just want to cry.
I'm supposed to be writing reports and also going to a party tonight...
I have, however, found more treasures to list and had a good batch of sales this week from the Jubile free listing (I list for 10 days now, timed to finish on a Wednesday so this gives potential buyers plenty of time to find my treasures and me ample time to post out on my unpaid days).
Did remember to take (step)dads card to Mum for her to pack - they're in Costa de Luz.
Now I have caught up with Fred and spotted thisDustykitten wrote: »Oh Valli one, where for ought you for thou is missed?

Kaz - sorry to hear about your neighbour
Bossy - read the decluttering thread and spotted the weevil trauma - as I said there they don't like it dry so when weevile infested cupboards are cleaned blast the crevices with a hairdryer to dessicate (and kill) them.
Anyway it's only money...
Was on a trip Thursday. My group caught Miller's Thumbs (or bully-heads as they are known round here) was green with envy as another group caught crayfish (native ones, too) which I have never SEEN before, much less caught.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

Little guy is very doddery on his feet now, but still wanting his walks, and still demanding that his food be laced with crushed-up biscuit.:o Oh, and he's still a very messy eater.:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

Flying-wise; we've given the bath a good scrub (taken the bath lift out to do it), scrubbed the compost caddy, and hoovered the kitchen floor *counts off on her fingers* four times today, I think.:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Well, that took a bit longer than a HH, but one corner of DS2's room is now nicely clean and tidy. Overall, the house doesn't look any worse than it did at the end of the holidays - in fact, it looks a bit better. If I keep this up, it will eventually look good. :cool:
Buns now, then father's day present, lift for DS1 and tea. I'd hoped for a coffee break with some of the left-over lemon drizzle cake, but that's not looking likely. Oh well, I'll have it after my tea.0
