    all ive done so far today is some shredding, (letting shredder cool down now, did too much and it tripped out) then i can finish.
    ive gathered pots rubbish and dirty clothes from DS1s room
    waiting for stuff on line to dry before i can put next load out so i cant wash any more yet.

    Lovely pictures Pigpen.

    I've scrubbed the hall floor on my hands and knees.
    The dys0n's hose has split again. I am seriously considering getting a new VC. Every time the hose or fan belt goes there is a 5 day gap when I can't fly while I wait for the replacement to arrive.

    DH and DD2's birthday cards are now down and the window sills and mantlepiece have been dusted.

    I need to give the bathrooms a good going over but think I will do it after DS3 has his shower after football tonight. I hate it when there is muddy splashes on my nice clean tiles.

    Lovely photos especially the petal one Pigpen

    I have just done a few hours of paperwork and have applied for Car tax online. Sure it doesn't usually cost that much.

    How do I overpay on my mortgage as the payments are just taken by DD?

    Off to purchase a new TD soon and to look at ironing boards as our is broken yet again.

    Hi All :wave:
    Hope you are all well, we have a heavy snowfall here, and blizzards too, I had a heavy heart this morning going to work, watching poor DS walking to school fighting against the snow blizzard :(. I am at work and there is very little snow, blue skies & sunshine!!! (Only 30 minutes away from home) Todays list is looking good as my hall was just freshly decorated & put back together on Sunday so nothing needing done there & I don’t have a fireplace anymore, must start getting some HHi’s done as Ironing has taken a backseat since decorating started.

    Just had a quick read through what I had missed,

    Natty - Hope your upheaval isn't too much & yes thank goodness for Insurance, it could have been worse as the man said, you could also have had a collapsed ceiling. Hope your sore botty is better soon, I know how you feel as a fellow sufferer :o.

    Piggers - Hope your uncle gets you sorted quick, sometimes things do take longer as you are relying on friends/family, like my back garden, it WILL be finished in time for.....Summer ??? Actually do we have a Summer season now :confused smiley:

    Hi all

    Busy day today; I need to do tomorrow's Flying as well as today's, I have bread to make (actually the BM is on as I type) and I need to make something for tonight's dessert – we have some HM mincemeat left over from Yule so may well bung some of that in a pastry case for mincemeat tart, if I can find the spoons necessary to do the pastry.:whistle:

    Natty take your time with the horrible DWP form; make sure to tell it like it is, no saying you're “fine” when you're not. Good idea to get DH to help you – I got Mr LW to do mine, as you know. Oh, and I also scanned it and kept a copy on my pc before I sent it off. ;)

    Anyways, I must get my duster-onna-stick and get cracking – the dragons won't dust themselves, unfortunately.:cool:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
