    Morning All

    Clocks are okay on the site now kaz.

    We're going to the pictures this morning and then out for dinner so not a lot's going to get done today. Loads to do next week though while I'm off work though but whether it'll all be done is a different matter.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all. Just been having a quick catch up on the thread. Seems lots of you were buying shoes, same here for DH. Had a day being looked after by DH yesterday which was lovely. Today, once DD goes to work at 9-ish, I'll be on my own all day. My sort of plan is:

    Soak in bath
    Walk dogs
    Hoover downstairs (although I may do right through the house)
    Make a cottage pie to go in freezer
    Find/make sympathy card
    Walk dogs again
    Bath dogs

    Hope everyone has a good day.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    DS1 away to overtime, DS2 also on ovies at 9am.

    DH plans to finish the last bit of painting in the DR this morning and take DS3 an DS2 to see James Bond film later.

    Not sure what I'm going to do yet, but there is ample to do!

    Thanks for the time update. x

    Free Le go week with the sun newspaper, for those looking for stocking fillers etc! or in my case for adopted gs else where in the world, it seems he has look at the paper on line, I have been 'instructed' by phone as to which ones he simply must have, I don't mind really as the total value is about £5 or so, and he never gets any thing else all year as he is too far away.

    How is it Sunday already?! I WILL fly today!
  • I think things are going from bad to worse :(

    Our water leak looks worse this morning. I have phoned them up & they are sending someone out to reassess. They may move the repair forward to today if they think they need to.
    On top of that, when we checked the bunny this morning he/she/it is not well :( It is lethargic, rasping & its eyes are closed/watery. I am due at the vets at 9.45. I think this will be a one way trip :(

    DD2 has been in the shower, & I have put some washing on, in the hope that it will be finished by the time the water man arrives.

    Need some posi vibes here!

    Posi vibes coming your way Goodintentions.

    Right, so I've eaten, fed and medicated the dogs, made DDs packed lunch, done an online food shop ready for next week and am now off for that soak.

    Have had a lovely soak and don't want to go straight out in cold with dogs, so change of planned list, I'm going to make the cottage pie now. Also, 3rd and final lot of washing is in the machine.
