DD2 has been back to the GP's - more antibiotics prscribed - but Boots won't have them until lunchtime tomorrow......

DD1's hossy appt went well yesterday - but we still don't have a date - could be the end of Sept.... or November 6th. We have to ring up next week to find out...

So the next joyous event is the DLA tribunal next Wednesday....

HEADS UP FOR FREE EBAY LISTING 1-8 September - so who's up for a challenge then?

Maybe as I have some things that I would like to get money from. I have only every listed a couple of things and it seems a lot of hassle for me and I guess I would like to keep all the money! On second thoughts maybe I won't bother

Was on a course this morning then had to drive back so no flying done yet but DH is teaching for 2 hours tonight so I might do some then. I would like to try and sort another box in our spare room.

I seem to be making quite good progress this week - despite having started off playing catch up! It won't last though - we're off to visit family for the weekend tomorrow and then I'm back at work on Monday - and with DS2 doing just half days for the first 2 weeks of term and DH being at home on several of those days I can just imagine the state the house will be in :eek:

Going to have a :coffee: and maybe some chocolate and then see if I can finish yesterdays list. Anyone up for a HHC at 4pm?

Mrs_Bee

Off I go on my own then!

Afternoon.

Slow day for me again, cant get on around DH but I have been out and got everything we need to take away in the carrievan tomorrow. Hope the weather improves as I really dont want to go otherwise (I hate vanning in the UK, I like hot and sunny!) Just need to pack clothes and get things ready for the 5 hour journey.

Have caught up on fred - I cant believe you lot are buying/hidinh xmas presents. I though I was doing well getting money stopped directly from my wages each month in prep for xmas but buying in August - I wish I could do it.
juliejim - I hope your friends hubby is ok
goodintentions - if DH's BD/stress is down to work they are obliged to do something to get it sorted out
Welcome viv1956 - why not get stuck in with today (unless of course you have other plans)
bossymoo - my DD's the same with macaroni cheese, loves pasta and cheese just not together
amyloofoo - glad Dh was able to up and away to work today
cycling yorkie - Fingers crossed for DD1 next week (I'll be back at work and likely to forget )

Right DH is mooching about again best go get on

viv1956

Thanks kazmeister

Had thought of doing that but am trying to declutter some of the kitchen today but all I seem to be doing is getting more and more in a mess.

Have cleared a couple of cupboards, the freezer and fridge....now trying to sort the pantry shelves but unfortunately I spilt a tub of gravy powder all over the floor........

Successful HHC means yesterday's list is all done :j
But DD was painting and knocked her pot of dark reddy brown water off the table - cue me spending the last 15 mins cleaning the (white!) wall, floor, chair, table, her, ... :cool:

List update have managed most of hall and the LR and Scullery are done. Lots of WM and line pegging/TD. I have also done a bit of cross stitch while watching the telly:D helped SS sort his car insurance and DS1 has cleared, dusted and hoovered his own room. Still quite a bit of washing to get done and that means lots of ironing:( but hey ho I'm getting there.

DS2 made chicken noodle soup today in school and brought some home for DD to make her feel better, makes a change from them bickering;)
