    Morning Bossymoo, morning all. Hope Ionafan and Cyclingyorkie are feeling better today. I feel your pain, not literally today thank goodness.

    Plans for today (at the moment it is raining so you'll notice that my usual weeding is not on the list!)

    Shower
    Weekly Shop
    Vacuum living room
    Walk dogs
    Make FUDGE
    Make soup for tea later

    RELAX probably but I may check back here for inspiration (buzz word of the moment)
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    been asked to take the kids to their dad's - so am on an errand then returning for cleaning.

    And I desperately need to up the flea control - I won't freak you with what was where but if anyone has any advice that renders death to all hoppy things I would appreciate brand names, sources etc

    Hmmmm looks like the bedroom might be becoming an issue (like its not obvious when you see it:rotfl:). Other than that it actually seems messy rather than making me itch so thats better than most weekends :) Saw another beetle last night, still having bother identifying them. Hoping to get a new floor laid over the next few months and want to know what to put down at the skirting boards beforehand to try to get rid of them!

    Hello to newbies (im still one myself), its very friendly here and the lists make things so much easier!

    *Drops bag of hugs, sticks, spoon and painkillers as running out the door* hope everyone feels better soon

    Morning all

    It is too hot here already. Nothing planned for today, DS3 complaining of being bored already, maybe DH would take him swimming later. DS2 to work this pm and DS1 to cricket.

    HHI done - empty basket
    DW emptied

    Cuppa and shower for me and then I want to do a bit in the garden before it is really hot.

    Advantage!! It has just been taken off prescription. It is they only thing I have found that works and given I have 2 with flea allergy we have to be very on the ball with it.. we have had none in the house alive this year! I check a few places online and quidco cashback too.. petmeds or vetuk are the ones I usually buy from.

    Or Costc0 sell it too x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
