    Announcement
    We now have an empty loft here in danceland

    Trip to the tip tomorrow 1st thing.
  • Hi from me and this is bye, for a week, as we leave for Spain tomorrow, a holiday that includes a family wedding!

    I haven't stopped all day, and am shattered, but have done all we needed to do.

    Shopped and cleaned for friend, coffee with another friend who needed to offload, cat to cattery, (not a happy puss!), and place clean and most things packed. OH has done well and took over tonight and did tea as well.

    Good vibes to all, I see there are quite a few going/gone away, and healing vibes to all those that need them. I'm so glad that Mr LW sounds as if he is on the mend.

    Have a good week and I hope you get some sunny days, R x.
  • Just did 2hrs worth of ironing and I've not even made a dent in it:mad: My Uncle is supposed to be nipping in tomorrow to have a look at my hall to see what he can do with it, it's only been laying with no paper and huge holes where the plaster came with the paper for about 3yrs now:eek::eek::o:o So tomorrow I will need to be on the ball and have the place squared early, well earlier than usual:p. Off to bed with my book. Night all x

    Well done, Rowan tree. We're off tomorrow, too, but I've not managed to do as much as you.

    Sorry to post and run, but needs must. Will be back on the 18th.

    Have a great weekend, everybody, and a good week. x

    Looks like it's a popular week for holidays! We're off tomorrow too. Don't know if I'll get on before we go - if not I'll be back and ready to join in again in just over a week's time.

    Those 19 black bags have been depleted to just 6 (go me!) :T which will have to stay put until we get back. Unfortunately downstairs is now full of what looks like just as much to cram into the car in the morning! And my only progress from this week's lists today was testing the smoke alarms :o Oh well - looks like major catch up needed during the final 2 weeks of the holidays!

    Lamewolf - really pleased to hear that Mr LW is starting to feel better. Hope you're ok too - sounds like you've had a really difficult few days.

    Have a good week or so everyone.
