Boddy - good luck with DD pre interview, have things crossed here.

I've been optimistic about the weather. I put a wash on about 5:30am and it started sleeting. At the moment things look to be drying outside so when the WM finishes out the bedding/towels will go. I'm also hoping to get a darks wash out too. Nosy question how long does it take your machines to do a 60 or 30/40 degree wash? Mine seems to take forever - well 2 and a bit hours!

I'm hoping today will be a bit of a catch up for not doing things yesterday *but* I'm supposed to be resting as out tomorrow and Monday so will probably do a bit here and there.

Mrs Moneypenny I do agree it's all very sad what has happened over there in the last couple of days.

I'd also like to pass Spoons and (((hugs))) round along with a virtual cup of what ever takes your fancy

Good morning ladies.

This is my first week of working 4 days. I am already coming to the realisation that it's not going to work. The house is a mess, I am behind with the washing and ironing. There is no food in the fridge and I don't have time to go shopping. I don't know how I'm going to broach the subject with my lady. Shes very sensitive. If I don't do this for her then she will miss out on essential appointments. I am so torn.

I have 25 minutes now to fly - my home really needs some attention.

catch up later.
