Another load of washing
Cleaned the shower room
Hoover and mopped downstairs
Clean sink and toilet in the bathroom

DH is cleaning the bbq
DS1 sewed 2 buttons on his shorts
Also picked some wineberries which are freezing. Very pleased with my little self! Ironing tonight with the closing ceremony.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I've been 'missing' for the last couple of days . . . . and not because I've been madly flying either! Well, I suppose I have if you can count clearing out the freezer which had broken down. Unfortunately I had only recently restocked it after defrosting it so I am not overjoyed. Tomorrow we are going to get a new one. Could do without the expense at the moment, too.
OH has had a load of grief with his son and family this last couple of weeks - it's affected both of us really. I thought I'd try to cheer him up a bit and take him out to lunch but the car developed a problem and we had to call the RAC. We never got as far as getting lunch!
Things will improve - I really want to get my boring life back! Tomorrow is another day and I will (really I will) knuckle down and do some work!0 -
Sorry have not read or posted for weeks. Went to visit parents at end of June- day we were due to come home Mum fell and broke her hip.:( My dad is unwell himself so I ended up staying for six weeks to take care of them.
Hope everyone is well- will be glad to join in again from next week

So sorry to hear of all the poorly family members (hugs to anyone and everyone).
I'm back from my trip to the spa, had a very relaxing time, and some good chats with some good friends. We are continuing our £10 per month into the pot for next years trip. Hurrah!
Not much doing at home, as I had a mini clear on Friday night. So just emptied DW, fed kids when they got back, and put their things away. All ready to start the new week. Do have some laundry but not enough for a full wash in either darks or lights.
See you all on the new thread. I think my only extras this week will be:
Paint shed door again
Post CEX voucher
Meal plan
Bit of @ldi shopping tomorrow
Maybe a couple of hhc in garage of doom, but I'm not overdoing things againBossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
