    ...discovering a bit more about how Valli's mind works :rotfl:

    :eek: :cool:

    Can be cheeky as I'm a looooong way from valli-land still a bit scared though

    Work (in East London) postponed due to cyclists and travel disruption.

    I am going to sort another cupboard in the kitchen.

    Nicki I hope your sunburn is receding (((gentle hug))) my XH once covered himself with aftersun instead of suncream when we were on holiday in France, spent the afternoon on a beach and ended up in hospital with huge blisters on his legs. Not pretty.

    Have a good day all!

    Foody bits cooking for later
    3 loads of washing folded and away and all the pants and socks given to the correct owners.
    Empty wash baskets taken upstairs
    ALL the downstairs vacuumed through.

    I am absolutely exhausted and my hips are agony. I haven't had a decent nights sleep in weeks.

    Nicki I hope your sunburn is receding (((gentle hug))) my XH once covered himself with aftersun instead of suncream when we were on holiday in France, spent the afternoon on a beach and ended up in hospital with huge blisters on his legs. Not pretty

    First time I went to ex-'parent-in-laws' (which is where I was on Friday when I got burnt) I put baby lotion on before going out. I ended up with 2nd degree burns to my chest! Thankfully ex-mil is a nurse and kept an eye on me but ever since whenever there is sun she asks if I've got cream on:rotfl: Even with cream on though I can burn up there, I swear its wind burn as well as the area isn't nicknamed as "Windy Walney" without good reason!

    It is slowly receding. Just the top 6" or so at the top of my shoulders, a patch on my chest (lob sided as I had a small messenger bag across me :rotfl:), my forehead near my hairline and the back of my neck are still very very hot but much cooler than they were last night, rest of me just looks slightly tanned. Just hurting now when the skin creases if I lift my arms or pick something heavy up. Can't wait for DD to come home tonight as she can take over applying the lotion :o

    Flying wise I'm decluttering a packet of flavoured rice cakes while watching Top Gun, the TD is on with a load of towels (I need them soft otherwise I'd have them on the maiden!) and another load is in the WM. Think I'll paint my nails soon while I declutter Die Hard with a Vengance from the freeview box :p Going to wait until I've juggled washing though ;)
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Will be mostly packing today....I hate packing. I have now bought hubby 4 pairs of jeans and he says they all need to go back...,.need suggestions of good places to buy means jeans other than tesco and primary grr
    Mr LW buys his online from this site: http://www.peterchristian.co.uk/
    (sorry, I can never remember how to do the short'n'tidy links). He gets his chinos for work from there, too - his problem is having short legs, and they seem to cater for that.:o HTH.

    Mr LW's been to the monthly farmers market, he also stopped by the cherry farm and bought over 6lb cherries, so we've been busy stoning those. I've made cherry crumble, set some aside for my lunchtime fruit for a couple of days, and frozen the rest. He's on about getting some more next week to make jam with.:o

    I've also made a quiche today, which will do today's dins and tomorrow's, and the BM has nearly finished making a loaf.

    Today's remaining "must do" tasks are the weekly check of the car - tyres, oil, wash bottle, etc - and the ironing, both of which are Mr LW's to do.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
