    Three frogs munched this arvo - all three being the reason I was so manic with the Flying yesterday. Avoidance tactics are us.

    Dog's drugs topped up, Sainsbobs visited, ironmonger's visited for the rest of the smart new cutlery, plastic consequently decluttered of loot, another load of washing done and dried, most of yesterday's is now folded and ready to be put away, new lodger in 24 hours late but finally here.
    Better is good enough.

    GP visit decluttered - pleased that there is some progress and the new cocktail of Big Black Clouds meds seems to be helping

    Had my face all squished about at horsepiddle, cannot eat a thing ATM, looks like another 3 months of manipulation ahead, although feasibility moulds taken today.

    WM x 2 pegged out, my bed hoovered, some painting done in DR - before WW3 erupted between DD2 and DD3 :mad: so had to rinse out and sort them out.

    Time to lie down before I fall down.....TTFN :wave: will catch up with Fred tomorrow.

    Hugs sticks and spoons in jar, please help yourselves
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    morning all
    re baby naming gift, how about something like a 'classic' childrens book, doesnt have to be a 1st edition just one that you think all children should have and enjoy. my 5 were all christened in church, i said i didnt want gifts just people to share our day but ive got tons of little silver money boxes and the like that all tarnish over time.
    even if a book is too old for them now it will come into its own as the key that will hopefully open up a love of reading.

    decluttered one to school and swept through all down stairs, dug out my next stitching project so going to have a HHC later sorting threads out of that. (its a christmas pressie for either my mum or mil when its finished)

    Dont forget
    its voting day in lots of areas Emily Pankhurst chained herself to railings and died to give us ladies the vote so can we all use it please.

    im not going to start a debate on who anyone sould vote for i just think its important to have our say.
