    Hi all

    I'll be “Level-One-ing” as best I can again this week;:o Mr LW has unexpected Early and Late shifts Wednesday and Thursday respectively; the chap who was meant to do them has been called away to attend his very poorly mother; his brother has also been summoned, so it doesn't sound good.:(

    My joints and muscles are all still very painful,:( so I'm trying not to do more than is really necessary – Mr LW did loads over the weekend,:A so we're not living in a pigsty, honest!:o
    Actually,:idea: looking at the excellent list Natty has done, and the fact that it's for my regular Monday room, I will follow it as best I can manage.:o One thing I don't need to do is organise the freezer – my Excel spreadsheet works well!:D I'll clean the door glass tomorrow; Dylan's going home at 17:00 this afternoon; no point in doing it before he goes, as he'll just re-do the nose-art.:cool: I have to say, I'm struggling with some tasks, as there's more things than I realised that I just cannot do right-handed.:(

    Bossy GWS wishes to your Granny; hopefully the damage will be minimal. And a (((HUG))) for you.:o

    Pamsdish good point about not using fabric conditioner on fevver dusters – it never occurred to me to say this, as I don't use fabric conditioner at all.:D

    Julytex I'd use up leftover crusts by making nut loaf – the recipe I use takes (from memory) 7 oz of breadcrumbs.;)

    Piggers I've only just read your question, as I'm in thread-catch-up mode – I'm not the world's best at understanding what others mean always – I tend to take people literally, when I sometimes shouldn't,:o but I'd have taken it as an “I'm anxious but I'll come anyway”.;) Founder member of “Panic Attacks Anonymous” here, btw. I have a track record of agreeing to things, and worrying so much that I'm then literally too ill (through stress) to actually do them.:eek:

    Mumto5 I hope to goodness your hand is sorted out quickly – I remember well the anguish you went through with it.:(

    Dragon just do what you can realistically cope with, mate. We make a good pair, don't we?:cool:

    I'm sending Dylan to bark and chase off BDs wherever they've snuck in.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Dusty has DH got the lurgy you and DS3 had last week?. Glad to read that you're on the mend now.

    TMD - re the football boots idea. Wow that is inspiring! I think the only fly in the ointment is that it's football which IMO is not as well organised as Rugby. Rugby tend to have committees, club houses, kitchens. We are lucky if there is a manky public convenience at any of the matches we go to. A tea/burger wagon is a very rare occurance. We have an overbalance of boys on the green in front of my house. DS3 often gets boots from No 28 and I usually give DS2's boots to No 35.

    I've hoovered through downstairs and 2 more loads of washing. A GF has invited me over for a :coffee: so I'm going to brush my hair and get over there when I've hung the washing on the maiden.

    Swimming with the littlest 2 after school. I need to nip to Mr T and get something for dinner.

    Step son's birthday today. He didn't come over yesterday and hasn't replied to the texts DH and I have sent wishing him happy birthday. What is it with boys? He's 26 and DS1 is 18 they are both testing my patience.

    Sorry to hear you're having panic attacks Pigpen. I hope things settle down soon.

    How can one 60+ year old woman get through two entire loo rolls between 7.00 pm last night and 9.30 am this morning?
    Better is good enough.

    Is there evidence of the cardboard roll or is she creating a stash for when she moves out?

    You said she's moving out this week. Is she using the loo roll to wrap up all her belongings?
