mrs-moneypenny

morning all
Dusty senidnig my deepest condolences to you and your family im so sorry to hear your sad news.

hugs good wishes and positive vibes where needed
i hope all are well or their 'lot' is improving.
went with DS1 yesterday to his contract signing, he now officially has paid employment on an apprenticeship scheme for the next 12 months, and best bit of all the email they sent was wrong the start date is as said on the letter the week after we get off our hols so he can come with us. i was in meltdown mode thinking i would have to leave him here. he'd got the email saying he had to attend the first 8 weeks in full with no time off and he decided that the opportunity was too good to miss i could understand that so accepted it with my worry head on but thankfully the worry fairy paid heed and swapped the date for me:T
have already slapped whats left of a tube of face pack on (to use something up) and have sorted through DH's battery collection and put all the oozing ones in a bag to take down the recycling (30 of them) will also sort some mags out for hairdressers. for the give something away daily.
does anyone elses DH OH partner have a stupid amount of batteries? we have three baskets full on our room dead, charged and waiting to be charged. trouble is the charger is so carp that unless you use them straight away they drain again LOL these are ordinary batteries not rechargeable ones. we must have 100's of the blooming things. my mission is to persuade him that we should throw the lot out and buy a set of proper rechargeable ones and just use those. we do have 4 and one of those type of chargers as well. just to add more to the clutter :rotfl:

anyway before my face cracks or the kids wake up and i scare them better go and rinse this face pack off, then ill clear the floordrobe (only clothes left to do now. Then ill start on today.

Hugs to you and yours Dusty - I remember how hard it was to tell the kids when OH's dad passed.... you can only do what you think is right.

Not read through this week's thread yet so hugs and posi-vibes where needed. Thanks for the lists. Dusty just seen your sad news. My deepest sympathy for you and your family.

Yesterday there was no flying, just dailies, because we had 2 houses to view after work. No more house viewings lined up because we have put an offer in now on a place we like. This means flying can resume ... sort of. I still want to get to the bottom of the ironing pile!

CY I did notice on last week's thread that you got to the bottom of your ironing pile - well done :T you are now my inspiration!

So tonight's list is mainly ironing and then the proper lists if there is time.

Morning all. My thoughts are with Dusty and her family.

Up early today as waiting for a delivery, which needless to say hasn't arrived yet, but it means I've done all applicable jobs from today's list and caught up with some of yesterdays.

Paid stuff now. Hope everyone has a great day.

Dusty - I am so sorry about your sad news and send my deepest sympathy for you and your family. Even if a loved one has been very poorly their death is no less upsetting, what a sad time.

Some S and S done in kitchen and bathroom, but that's it for now! Off for coffee with friends before work. Thank you for the responses to my rant yesterday, I've spoken to the main builder about lack of consent and may be ringing the council later; (neighbour is away so I can't speak to him).

Good wishes all round, R x

mrs-moneypenny

hope you get help and support from the council Rowan, people shouldnt be allowed to get away with this.

Mrs Moneypenny - YES - I've one man in the house and 1 million batteries - in different states of decay! What is it about men and batteries?! Anyone got an OH who collects old envelopes and elastic bands??!

i'll put my hand up to an envelope and postcard collection i do competions so in the past ive seen envelopes cheap at the carboot and brought boxes of them, and i pick up the free postcards from cinemas. i havent bought any envelopes for about 2 years and actually gave my brother a box of 200 with windows in to use for his work last year, i still have ermm LOTS:o
thing is now stamps have gone up and ive actually started cleaning my house i find im doing less so i really should cull some and donate them to CS

OH had a rubber band ball the size of a football!!! and I threw all his batteries out.. I do have about 12 in the kitchen but they are on my hit list. We go through loads with the girls leappad things. I throw all his envelopes away too!

I tried to post about a dozen times yesterday and my connection was so shocking I kept losing posts.. so I gave up.. I think I was only able to post on a select few threads and this was not one of them.

Dusty.. much love to you, DH and the boys

First job of the day (now I have got the recycling out and made a cuppa, fed the girls and the WM) .. I need to pick up the stray Dot poo I noticed outside this morning!!! She decided nakey nakey was the way to spend the evening and took everything off every time we dressed her.
