    Investigate dongles
    Book waxing
    Sort bedrooms (especially parts that will be seen by loft people)
    Add to holiday lists
    Visit my parents
    Check things are ready for 10th birthday

    Good sleep vibes to all.

    Tots dressed ready for nursery, just watching postman pat. Made my packup last night, so just a case of throwing my dress on, and our shoes, and we are good to go.

    Might be a long one today, so might not get much flying done as probs won't be home until 4.30 then I'll get the kiddies. Might do an hour when they are in bed. But I do have a day off tomorrow, so might catch up then.

    I'm trying to get my head around what I've got to do before hols:
    Tue. Work
    Wed. Chores and dentist, bit of shopping
    Thu. Play date and hairdressers
    Fri. New music club trial session. Take kids to granny
    Sat. Wedding
    Sun. Back from wedding
    Mon. Playdate with WAY friend
    Tue. Work
    Wed. Work
    Thu. Pack
    Fri. Playdate then hols!

    Oh my!
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Just popping in to pick up list, then off to do a little ironing. That'll be my HHI. :)

    Waiting on man/men coming to replace the windscreen on our camper van later this morning - been waiting since Saturday when I had to spend 28+ minutes on the 'phone giving them every unnecessary detail and I had still had to wait until yesterday for them to work out what windscreen I needed.

    (((Hugs))) to LameWolf. Migraines are horrible. Hope you are back on your feet today.

    A quick update from me before I start the paid stuff:

    Cleaned living room
    Made DH packed lunch
    Showered
    Walked dogs
    Popped to shops
    Cut grass
    1st lot of washing on line, second in washer
    Eaten

    I suppose there is an upside to waking early.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Pigpen:Thanks for the link to the Facebook page. Can't seem to see any posts though. I don't have a clue with Facebook.

    DW loaded and started.
    Sold a DVD on Amazon so have wrapped that ready to post.

    Really hoping to receive a cheque to bank today. The company said cheques are issued within 5 days - it's been over 4 weeks now. I've 'phoned them 3 times already!

    It's rather grey and grim here today so no excuse for not getting on with indoor things. Well, as long as I don't spend much longer on the computer!!

    Morning All

    Jaybee - you'll probably need to join the group first. Message 1 of the admin on there and they'll add you.

    Happy Birthday lil-me

    Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs C

    Well I'm going out to the funeral in just over an hour so probably won't get anything done today although DH is at home so he might do something!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Threaten them with the Financial Ombudsman - that should frighten them! :rotfl:
    And the FO really does work - they have clout. :T

    I've made a good start this morning:
    - finished levels 1, 2, 3 and Extras for yesterday and today :D
    - S&S'd bathroom, kitchen and cloakroom
    - cleared and wipe the study windowsill (leftover from last week): it's the only sill in the house which has more than just a pot plant or four on it, and has become the display area for a few very special oddments and the cards and mugs from my grandchildren
    - found a free course to sign up for at our local library "eb@y the easy way" (just what I wanted)

    DH has taken today off work to go and steward at the beer festival this afternoon and evening. I have told him he is taking me out for a coffee at the garden centre later ("free") because I need to go to Hobbycr@ft next door and might also let him go to CTraders for a new shirt to replace the one I threw out last night because it is covered in ink stains from the umpteen pens he will insist on stuffing into his top pocket. When I married him, he had wardrobes absolutely bulging with clothes (when he was on his own he would go shopping at Mr T's and inevitably come home with some item of clothing which might have been right for a teenager but certainly not for a 50-something man with an expanding midriff) and most of them didn't suit him or fit him properly or were worn out anyway. I had a big fling when we got married, and now the rule is that if he wants to buy anything, at least one old thing has to go to the CS. I suspect he will come home tonight from the beer festival with yet another souvenir polo top, so that means I can ditch a couple more of the old ones :j

    Am I mean? :beer:
