Had day out with DS on friday including a lovely lunch, he's quite fun to spend time with really and think he's missed me a bit as I've been working lots during the day and not around trying to chat to him:D Week one of hols over now!
Quite a quiet weekend as LM is attempting to paint my flat, 2/3 done now. He's not one for heights so very much appreciated:kisses2: Working as usual then out for something to eat with LM's mum, nice to catch up.
Oh and I've also cut the grass and done a wheen of ironing!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Yes, he's painting outside and it's looking rather nice now, a couple more dry evenings should see it done (fingers crossed). I am of no help as I get panicky standing on stepladder indoors:o
A wheen comes from a hundred I think so hundreds of ironing and off to work today to iron some more...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I went to school with two brothers who were probably taller on their feet than you are on a stepladder... :rotfl:skint_spice wrote: »A wheen comes from a hundred I think so hundreds of ironing and off to work today to iron some more...
And there I was thinking it was an imperial measurement of ironing like a cord is an imperial measurement of woodpiles..."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
