    Bath and hair washed, tick.

    Bought DD a t@ngleteezer brush this week as she's v curly and it gets quite knotty. She loves it, doesn't hurt her at all and gets through her hair in no time. I've borrowed it tonight.

    I may steal it...

    Good evening :D

    ££'s decluttered at mr T's, but I now have a voucher for petrol when I next need it :)

    I left DH here as the man was still working on the boiler. He was here for about 4 hours!! That is on top of the 2 hours last Thursday & 2 hours last friday - and it is still not fixed!!! I wonder if they will think to send someone who knows what he is doing next time? :mad: And maybe someone who doesn't leave quite so much of a mess! :mad: Hopefully it will be fixed on his return (probably next week!)

    Congrats to the Valliboy :beer: (but not if he is driving, of course!)

    Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them

    Hi all x
    I've done a marathon ironing today and I'm still not at the bottom of it so my agenda for tomorrow is to get the rest of it done. Have I ever told you that I dislike ironing?
    Well done to master Valli on passing his test x

    Will try to pop my head in at some point tomorrow in between ironing and ironing. Have I mentioned that I hate ironing?

    Love and hugs to all xx

    I was going to go to bed 2 hours ago but never got there! Trying to plan some uni open day visit dates for DS2 - they are very soon!

    Must do the looking up now and head up to bed.

    I don't seem to have caught up much in the house at all this week although it doesn't look too bad. Spent much of Tues pm sorting out paperwork for new freelance work which starts Saturday so needed to get stuff to HR for my pass etc. Hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow as I've already had an email from the new client.
    Also got a freelance assessment tomorrow.
    "Real" work has been busy both with actual work and keeping up with the emails as they are restructuring a couple of departments. I think it will all be quite different by the end of term - not that I care as I'm planning to hand in my notice early June.
    Everything in the garden growing like crazy, so depending on the weather the house may miss out again this weekend - however it's howling gales at the moment and has showered a lot, so maybe it will have to be house flying!
    Well done to all of you who have achieved something this week! And well done Valliboy on the driving.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
