    Well done to all flying flyladies

    WM is on
    Kitchen and DR are tidy
    A bit of mopping and wiping still to be done, but 15 min should see it all finished
    Elec and gas meter readings taken and submitted
    Plants to plant out in the garden today, since I managed to finish weeding the lawns yesterday evening
    I will have to fly to the shops later to get more eggs so that I can make the celebratory coffee cake which is traditional (more like obligatory, actually!) in our family

    Off now to wrap up a rubber duck!

    Morning all

    ionafan congratulations on the safe arrival of your DGD

    Coping vibes for Piggers and family, surely it is best for you to go home? I'm guessing it has been confirm that Samuel does have WC if they want you all on ABs?

    Back on the M25 for me today so no flying other than putting DS1's bedding on the line before I go. Catch up with you all this evening.

    Thanks, Dustykitten and Cyclingyorkie.

    Yes, all are well, thank you - DS1 was gorging on NHS toast when he rang me (they had been up all night) and was just complaining of a sore wrist, which he said had been twisted in all directions! DDiL is fine, and DGD2 is feeding very well already. DGD1 will meet her baby sister later today.

    I am soooooooo looking forward to seeing them all! DH is taking the day off work to come with me. He has no children of his own but enjoys having grandchildren and is brilliant with them.

    Ionafan congratulations - I've just seen your good news.:o

    Piggers if anyone deserves to get the WC, it's KH! I simply do not understand how anyone can act the way he does.:(

    I've had my steroid injection; Mr LW came with me and held my hand (yeah, I'm a wimp!) FFP I like the idea of an mp3 playing classical music (my favourite piece is Saint-Saens "Danse Macabre";)) unfortunately, I don't own an mp3 player.:( Still, it's all done now; I feel a tad woozy, but that's normal; and the steroids should kick in within about 72 hours, so hopefully, by the weekend, I'll be a different Wolf.:D

    Fingers crossed, Mr LW will be returning to work tomorrow - it'll also be his last day taking anti-flybotics, hooray!:T He's to all intents and purposes better, but tires very quickly still, which isn't like him.

    I need to make some cakes (or possibly a large cut'n'come again cake) for his lunchbox later today.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Healing vibes to Pigpen's clan and a slap for KH, well done to Valli and huge congratulations to Ionafan.

    Bad Language Rant Alert

    We let accommodation, and as part of the deal we supply bath towels, hand towels, beach towels and whatever else towels people want, including tea towels. A few weeks ago, in the hot, hot weather, I put all of them, clean, through the washing machine twice with vinegar on the first wash and ordinary washing stuff on the second wash, so I know they were absolutely as clean as they can be for the busy season.

    This week already I have had to wash four towels three times - the first because they had been used, the second time with vinegar to kill the bugs that cause the stink and the third to get them properly clean.

    I have another four to do, a strong suspicion that there are two fermenting in a bedroom - where the person concerned has been asked not to keep her towels.

    All of this when we have put the central heating back on in August (!!!!!!!) so that the heated towel rail in the their shower room would keep them lovely and fluffy and I go down there every single day to open the window during the day to air it and then back again in the evening every sod*ing day so that it isn't cold for the little bar-stewards when they come home.

    I am furious!

    The reason I don't post about WMs is that I do at least 11 loads every week, and plan it all so that I don't have to use the TD - it's too expensive if you live in the southwest, where it rains all the time.
    Better is good enough.
