    Hi all, sorry I was awol yesterday - Beltane celebrations, plus a horse-piddle visit. But I did do all my Wednesday tasks on Tuesday.:D

    Mumto5 (((HUGS))) I know they don't help in a practical way, but please know that they come with Wolfy strength vibes.

    Piggers what can I offer you; .... um... how about some hold-it-all-together vibes, and a big box of tissues so that you don't get your knitting all soggy if you need a cry.:o

    I've forgotten everything else I've read, so I shall toddle off and get on with the bedroom now.;)

    mummy.. do you want to just swap with my hovel... house?? That garden looks excellent (I don't mince the grass so though so I don't care :p)

    Mine is just squalid at the moment.

    ALL the dry laundry is folded and OH instructed to take it away.. he managed a whole 5 heaps so there is still a table full I will do in a minute.. 7 trips up and down stairs should just about finish me off for the day.. I am so pizzled off...

    Lunch for the small pinks then Dot can go down for a nap, at least one out of the way is a good thing :p

    Half dead well chewed baby mouse evicted.. Gotta love a house full of cats!

    DW on

    Girls collected from school

    Dustpan and brush thrown down the hallway with a tirade of expletives (I fell over the vacuum cleaner cable)
    Dot shunted out of bed.. lazy dollop.
    Parcel received
    1 item listed on ebay.. 2 more I want to do today, nothing exciting just 2 pairs of new maternity trousers I am too fat for.

    I can't decide if this level of miserable is a reasonable level of miserable or if I might have a BD biting me.. I am too fed up and miserable to decide.. not that it matters really..

    And I am freezing! Why is everyone trotting about in barely any clothes? Are they crazy? I had my winter coat on!!

    Oooh.. best go hang out the teeny pinks washing otherwise it'll start to niff.

    Today is a day for others taking my time. Rang my mother to quickly arrange something, got off the phone 57 minutes later. Cut neighbours lawn, old neighbour came past, chatted for 45 minutes, he is old and lonely though.

    So progress is slow here. Soup is cooking. Time for a cuppa and I'll do the potting on whilst at it.
