Hi there
I'm signing in late today as have been out since mid-morning and not long got home and sat down. Busy first thing doing usual breakfasts all round (two nice plump blue tits at the feeders today), S&S bathroom & kitchen, aired & made bed & dusted round & did a pile of washing (in the newly repaired but probably on its last legs WM!).
Met friend for early snack, met other friend for lunchtime snack and for her to bend my ear (don't ask!), then shopping & cleaning for other (sick) friend. Got back at 6.45 totally shattered and picked up a quick microwave meal - and chocolate pudding - for an easy meal tonight!!
Macpep, Valli recommended the Bosch WM - well - our repair guy has recommended the same, and when our WM breaks down again (plus the TD), which probably won't be long, we are going to get Bosch appliances. (And I bet that wee kitten is such fun!!)
Roundtuit, I do hope you feel much better soon, and Bossymoo, you are probably a long way away now, but just in case you login, have a great holiday!
I want to come to Dustyland - we have rain again here, but I'm just going to chill now, and OH is just going to microwave the meal now.
I hope everyone has a good weekend - we have been promised sun and dry weather for two whole days, and intend to cancel our planned trips out, and paint the outside of the bungalow. This may be our last chance before the rains come again (sigh.....).
Good vibes to everyone and restful wishes to all. R
PS For those that are interested - don't forget to look (and make a wish) at the blue moon tonight. x0 -

Good evening
Haven't flown much today
Went to the park with the kiddies before lunch. They managed to trash the house, and it is all picked up & put away, so I have done somethingI did also catch up on some planning.
DH & I have had serious talks. He has not been entirely honest with meHe told me he lent some money (£1000) to his brother before our holiday, but that he was going to pay it back before we went. He told me he had only paid back £750, so we were a bit short on the spending money while we were away, and i had to get a few things on my card. It now transpires that he lent him £1500, and he has only paid back £250 :mad::mad::mad: The money situation is not ideal, but I can cope with that. What I find really difficult is the fact he wasn't honest with me :mad: If I hear the phrase 'didn't want to worry you' or similar again, i think I will strangle someone!! The problem is, that keeping things from me just adds to his stress, but I can't seem to get through to him. Now i am stressed!! Sorry - rant over....
My dog is also stressed! There are 2 flies in the LR and he is terrified of them! I shouldn't laugh, but it is funny :rotfl:
Need to crack on with paperwork over the weekend. I must stop procrastinating!!0 -

I had Tiddles at the same level for another 2 years in July and I have Moomins renewal next July! TBH, DS3 is requiring more help than he was on dx as he has 2.5 times as many injections and I need to calculate and supervise everything he does!
