  • Afternoon all. Kitchen slowly looking better here ( i've even descaled the kettle), i might even clean the cooker..:rotfl:well if the rest is clean the cooker would only let me down. :o

    DS3 been delievered to playgroup so i'm grabbing a cuppa and then back to it. Might phone transport again while at me tea. They want to change DD's taxi, again...:mad:

    Big hugs to all who need one.

  • Well that HHC was helpful in getting rid of the irritating piles of gibble that collected in various places yesterday that needed a bit of attention when I had five minutes - they've all be dealt with. I've also pegged out the second load of washing today, in addition to the five yesterday and the five on Saturday. If it rains again today as it did yesterday with four on the line which was not forecast I will go slightly bonkers (do you hear that Met Office, not a million miles away from the HoneyBear Household? If you look out of the window and it's raining, tell me.

    I had no idea one cold tap could harbour so much dark matter. In the HHC I also decided to have a go at our bathroom, and the sink cold tap was a real surprise. I think I'm going to have to add 'Toothbrush all cold taps' to the Quarterly List. Dera God, how many more things am I going to find I have to do regularly?
    Better is good enough.

    Afternoon all

    Mainly been doing bits in the kitchen and baking a cake for school cake sale.

    Mother phoned for over an hour

    DS3 taken to school late. He is a bit off colour but really off school at the moment, not sure how I'll deal with this but if I help at the cake sale later I may just 'bump into' his class teacher.

    Carpenters back working on the leaking windows, long saga for those new this year!

    Need to phone decorator about outside work and may do HHG for some fresh air.

    Thanks Honey Bear, I think I am more worried about the prep for it, (drinks to cleanse & empty the bowels) the day before & I have to fast from 1pm on the Thurs, appointment at hospital is not until 2pm on Friday, so I am going to be crabbit as hell because I won't have eaten :(. DH says he is going out & will come & collect me at 1pm:eek:

    Hope it goes well Macpep. For the prep having done this a few time I advise to stay in the bathroom once it starts working.

    HHC 1.15pm cuppa 1st
