    Loving the fact that so many of you have never washed your ironing board covers.

    Still battling away with governor paperwork for meeting tomorrow morning then I get another long email full of stuff to consider.

    I'm sure I can manage Level 1 tomorrow, even if it's: do a tap, sit down, do a tap, sit down etc :)

    My iron is unused and therefore doesn't require any attention :o and I don't possess an ironing board cover...i do have an ironing board, however I'm not sure where it is...could still be in the shed from when I had the new kitchen fitted...in june 2011 :o

    I've just done an on-line shop, which will be delivered on Tuesday and includes watercress, liver & onions and citrus fruits to help those iron pills do their job; I've never meal planned before but i need to eat healthily, and money is tight, so tomorrow I'll begin.

    Doctor asked if I ate a balanced diet, and I asked if a burger in each hand counted :o hmmmm think he was related to Queen Victoria :rotfl:

    Sweet dreams lovely ladies xx

    Evening flyfriends

    I've been fluttering every day & casa bumpkin is presentable but I've been too tired after work to catch up with fred :o I'm off 2moro & tue so will read back & catch up properly then :)

    I'm in this week, thank you dusty for this week's lists & to juliejim for last week :A

    Weather super-hot dahhn sahhrf so lots of washing on line whilst I went on an afternoon "culture crawl" courtesy of heritage open days. I'm now inspired to join the local history society, though I'm told even at 45 I will easily be the youngest member :eek:

    I wash my ironing board cover fairly regularly (prob more than I actually iron :o) but have never ever ironed underwear :cool:

    Love, hugs, sticks, spoons, slaps & sloppy kisses all round

    xx

    Going to be in this week as much as possible. Lots of things to do, including paid work. Would be nice to actually earn some money, with not working properly since DD hurt her knee income has been virtually zero so what little savings I had (aka the money I'd paid off my overdraft but had yet to drop the limit) has gone and I'm back to hugging the limit again when I was actually making progress :(
