  • Love and hugs winging their way to bossymoo and the littlies today. Please be kind to yourself.... As piggers said this is the last of the firsts done..... and you have done so well.....

    You will be in my thoughts today - but however hard today is it is just one period of 24 hours - and you will get through it.

    Candle will be lit this evening - and on Saturday for my dear dad (24 years) and f-i-l (2 years) who share the same day...

    Morning all

    awake since 6am as smoke alarm decided to beep and flash, got DS1 and DH up sharpish and all was well.

    Just me and DS3 here now and I can hear him up and coughing so I'll go check

    ETA DS3 now has acute earache. It's going to be a long day.

    Bossy sending oodles of love to you and the little moos plus your DH's parents and your parents too. You have been dealt such a tough hand but the strength you have shown is amazing. I can't take the pain away but I am thinking of you xx

    Morning all, am up and about as DH is WFH today :eek: I hate it when he does that as I can't talk to him or anything, well apart from plonking a mug of tea in front of him every now and again :rotfl: Yet saying that he has fed the birds..

    OMG we had 13 doves down in the garden and two male blackbirds. I have lost Mr and Mrs Dove in amongst the dove hareem :D Hoody blackbird was seeing off a blackbird interloper, I think he won :D The usual amount of starlings and sparrows were in the garden, and Asbo Robin appeared for a fleeting moment :D It doesn't seem to matter that we have two lollopping dogs wandering around the garden, and "sort of hunter" cat - he does it in his sleep! - wandering around for the odd 10 minutes. Little cat doesn't even get outside, it's too bewildering for her, and she's about 12/13 years old!!

    Off out this morning to my friends house for tea and chatter, so shall get back to the lists when I get home.

    Must remember to pop the library books to the library on the way home from friends house. Otherwise it will be another trip out or another days charges..:eek:

    My thoughts are with Bossymoo and the little moos today - you have got the first year over, it is supposed to get easier after this so I am told.

    On with the lists:

    Monday - kitchen and hallway
    Level One

    Give the hob a clean
    Level Two
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Clean a window
    Level three
    Clear a hotspot
    Clean the kitchen sink, taps, plugs

    Extras

    I went overdrawn last week because for some reason a company I bought something from on line took 10 payments out of the account for 1 transaction. They told me they'd repaid it, but as of yesterday - they hadn't. I've reported them to Trading Standards and sent them a Recorded Delivery letter, but in the meantime, I'm still out of pocket by over £900, which is why I'm in the red.

    Is there anyone out there that would like me to name them so I can send the company a link to show that customers do still have some power?
    Better is good enough.
