Dancemum - I'd say get another firm in to give you quotes ideas, you are the customer

Most of front garden plants water from water butt
WM2 on

LR hoovered, including sofas, cushions banged outside. DH hoping to finish painting the walls in there this weekend. I'm going to measure for a roller blind to use if we need to block the sun from the tv. I don't want to put the curtains back on a temp basis as that will stop e getting new ones.

Going to do 15 minutes dusting, putting stuff back into the cupboard and then it will be time for another cuppa.

i agree with Dusty Dancemum, i know youve already paid out £50 for the survey but it doesnt sound like you are getting the bathroom you want or were told you could have. are there any places that would give you a free estimate roomplan?
wish you lived nearer id recommend my friends DH hes a bathroom fitter and has done some really lovely rooms. (he did my mils when she swapped from a bath to a shower) he doesnt charge to come and do the plans etc

got one cake in the oven but i ran out of eggs for the 2nd one, just had a text DS2 should be back at 5ish so ill get more eggs when i go to meet him

DD2 went into school last week to collect (finally) her A Level certificates. She went with a friend who had an equally tough time around the A Levels. They had a walk round school and found a room where some A Level Photography work was on display..........

some of DD2's was up there..........

with someone else's name on it!

She couldn't find a teacher, so she pulled off the label, crossed out the incorrect name in biro and added her own name!

I am very proud of her - last year she wouldn't have said boo to a goose!

Well done to your DD2, CY.
That teacher is a goose!!!

Happy birthday to Fabian

(You'll have to take off 4 candles... perhaps return them to the hardware store? I love that sketch!)

Must go and check my gooseberry cake for tonight's final meal with friends. What a shame, that's the last of the frozen gooseberries. Oh well, we shall soon be living within reach of the Vale of Evesham. I reckon I could persuade DH to go fruit picking with me in return for more cake but I shan't be able to bake until I get an oven

I'm also stocking up on HM boiled cake with raisins and ginger today

No I've not tried the gel Dusty. Thanks for the tip.

2nd day without a phone call from the supervisor who is reviewing my missing case file. Grrrr. It's been a week now and it's not been found. So gutted.

Flying has been S/S of high traffic areas and a couple of HHI.

Mrs Dog has just coughed up her supper - right on the patch of carpet covered by the drapey bottom of the curtain that Dog used to pee on.

mrs-moneypenny

Hi all :wave:

Well hung washing out on the line this morning but then it rained!! But only a little bit so I left it out there. It was dry when I got it in at lunchtime. Managed to hang out 2nd load on the line.

After the paid stuff I managed to:

Dust BR, using the hetty attachment to dust the picture rail.
BR, LR, Stairs & Landing hettyed
Hung up some clothes in BR
Made banana bread to use up some bananas (not enough to make 2, freeze one Valli )
Made home made pizza
Watered plants

Was going to wash the garden wall again but just didn't have the energy.

CY it's nice to hear your DD has some confidence, I'm not sure I'd have been brave enough to cross out the name so kudos to
her
HB pleased that Mrs Dog is taking off where Dog left off (do you think he sent her to you? I like to think that late OH sent me DC2)


Goodnight all
