    Afternoon everyone!

    Well hormones seem to have settled down today (just as well as at work).

    Left list of jobs for DH to do:-

    Peg washing out when finished
    Put next load in (didnt ask him to peg this out do you think he will if not written on his list:rotfl: )
    Mow lawn
    Put spare bed away in girls playroom
    S & S bathroom
    S & S lounge

    Hopefully he will flick through with the hoover too :D .

    Work is very quiet today so think I will do my meal plan up for next week.

    SHIRLEY PARK - so sorry to hear about your loss.

    Pigpen - enjoy the sun today so you will have full energy reserves for Monday!

    My husband would only peg the second load out if it was written on the list - he would say he didn't know if I wanted it out if I didn't write it down.

    I've given up writing lists, I just do it myself now.

    Making sausage and tomato pie for tea now, waiting for the potatoes to finish cooking so I can mash them. will be easy later when I just have to turn the oven on.
  • Thanks for all the hugs and stuff, I can't believe she went downhill so quickly.

    I hope you feel better soon Shirley, it's horrid losing an animal, especially rats as they're such sociable little monnies. Have a good day if you can.

    have done 2 loads of washing today, one out on the line which i need to get inside in a minute, and the other can stay in the machine for now, and then i will see what the weather is like for putting it out tomorrow.

    off to read the thread, then bring the washing in. Don't think i will be doing much else, not even cooking dinner, as we had a burger king meal. Not healthy, but it was a nice change.

Lil_me please can we have the master bedroom earlier in the week next week when i actually have the energy to do it?
