    Had a great morning - had got up and out with the dog and back by 8 o'clock. Cleared a load of hotspots and vacuumed round before I had to go out. Now onto the steamer to actually clean the floors
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Hi all.

    Thanks for all the kind thoughts; I'm a lot better today, but as greent so rightly says, I feel like a limp dishrag! No matter - I've managed to pop round with the duster-onna-stick, so some flying has happened at least, and Derek and Clive have both been brushed (much to their disgust):D

    Neveah oh, poor piggy.:( It's awful isn't it, you feel so helpless to do anything for them when they're that ill.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hi ladies
    Can i come back (for the next couple of weeks anyway)
    Am currently on hols until school goes back but not able to go away as DH had his hernia op 10 days ago so unable to drive or fly so its hols at home. Havent done too much so far, few drinks with friends, bit of shopping etc and started exercising on my bike. Have a drinks day with friends planned for tomorrow and its our anniversary on sunday ( can you believe it was 3 years ago i was planning!) Other than that not a lot planned so no excuses.

    Have had a fly through the thread and hugs to those who need especially for the poorly piggy. Fingers crossed.

    Will pop back later once i've showered (well i did nearly 10 miles this morning) and been to Mr M with DH

    TTFN

    ETA How rude of me, thanks juliejim for the thread
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Updated my list
    I also swapped the microwave and TV around in the Kitchen and thoroughly cleaned both, also did the hob.

    I was just putting everything back in its place when DH came back from MrA with the kids and DS ran in and threw up so a bit of cleaning up there had to be done, poor boy, both kiddies have chest infections and now DS is poorly, great way to spend the hols!!

    Helen

    Happy Birthday JJ - hope you are having a good day with some nice pressies :]]
