    Change of plan here.

    I was taking DS1 in to the city but he prefers to go with friends tomorrow. So far he has henried the ground floor and dusted one shelf in his room so it looks like I'm funding his trip.

    I have S&S house and done 1xwm.

    Off to look at my list

    Hordes fed breakfast and despatched, so I now have four beds to change and rather a lot of washing to do. I need to get it done today because the chalet's due for a change tomorrow.

    More advice please. We've recently bought some stainless steel cutlery to replace the manky old stuff we've been using for 20 years. The new stuff should be all shiny, but it shows up droppy water splotches from the dishwasher. The water comes straight off Dartmoor, and is absolutely lovely, neither hard nor soft, no chemicals added. I use half an Ec0ver tablet in the DWer, so what else should I be doing or adding to get sparkley cutlery?
    Better is good enough.

    I wish I could I would be very happy just organising and decluttering every ones wardrobes a couple of friends used to get me to do theirs.But could someone pop round and clean my oven and do the ironing when I am out doing wardrobes. So far to day I have done nothing in the house I really needto get motivated.

    Morning

    A day off - whoopie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of my Mum passing away and me and my Sister were chatting late last night on the phone and raised a glass to her. Unfortunately, once the wine ran out, we opened the whisky - I don't even like whisky, but it was palatable with sparkling water. That was not my best idea to date. My head is banging this morning :(

    A list of jobs as long as my arm - mostly admin frogs, but I think I can will feel better once they are crossed off. Wish me luck ...........

    On the flying front, I'm pretty pleased with what I've achieved. All the beds were done at the weekend so one less thing to think about.

    CY - hope you get an answer, lethargy is horrid - just makes you feel worse

    Flying today - none, not a bit, nada, nothing - must get my backside moving

    Mrs MP - made me giggle :]]

    thanks - tbh I should have gone back a couple of months ago to discuss the test results ( although I think it quite likely that I am in the midst of the change - don't really need a test to tell me.) but I'm quite glad I held back - because I can see a gradual decline over the past 2 months...

    washing up done, 2 beds changed. 1 load in the machine, 1 waiting!

  • ....gave myself a carpet burn doing a low plank earlier, don't want to be doing that again....
    *sniggers childishly*
    ....she convinced him that hes fitted with a tracker so she can keep tabs on him. he asked how she knew he was with a girl and she said she can follow him on her lap top using the street camera as his tracker allows that....

    Superb!!
    I wish I could I would be very happy just organising and decluttering every ones wardrobes a couple of friends used to get me to do theirs.But could someone pop round and clean my oven and do the ironing when I am out doing wardrobes....
