..and my Gran always says that if you want to use Blackberries for jam only pick them when it's dry and the sun has been on them!

Today I have (in no particular order)
been to Doc's with OH who has had a diagnosis of diabetes confirmed
Hoovered, dusted, polished and tidied the LR and DR
WMx3 pegged out, back in, folded ready to iron later
sorted and tidies my desk including the 3 drawers which are small but were crammed with carp!
Washed kitchen floor
Emptied and washed out the refilled cat litter boxes x2 (will do the other 2 tomorrow)
I am now pooped and watching TV

Hi all

Have hoovered the landing and living room and dusted
Made a start on some paperwork for hubbys business
Shopping from As*a put away
Did a batch of baking and got the breadmaker going
Done a mountain of ironing, all tidied away except for DS2s pile which he needs to sort himself.
Took the dog for a good walk
I might just have another half hour now in the living room then crash in front of the tv. Or I might have a half hour doing some more paperwork.

I need to find some black trackie bottoms for my 12 year old for school. He is so skinny that finding ones that stay up are a nightmare. Oh and they cant be too baggy in the leg or he wont wear them. Any ideas anyone?

No idea where today has gone but hugs to Helen and Mr Jelly, Jazee and mummyroysof3.

Just too many horrid things are happening in this world

Good vibes also for DH cousin who should find out more tomorrow about her own prognosis. So hope its not an aggressive / advanced type.

Housework just seems so superfluous with all this carp going on. Is it a sign of ageing when you are hearing more and more of serious illnesses and other evils?

Morning all

Having a cuppa then I'm going to get the ironing done before the kids are up.

Very pleased with my small frog progress this week, hoping this will mean I tacle some of the bigger frogs in September.

Jazee

Morning all. I'd planned to clean the bathroom this morning so have written down the list, but I'd better be quick to get in there before DD hogs it. On second thoughts, I may dust the bedroom first and wait for her to finish.

Thanks for all your kind wishes yesterday and tips on successful blackberry stuff.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning folks

Ironing already done this morning.

Mountsockmore dealt with by OH, but it seems I have lost one sock, and it just happens to be the pair he wants to wear today, he has loads of socks, but he wants that pair, he has gone to work with a similaar pair, they all get worn in the end, so want why the missing one today, it will turn up.

Free listing on eby this weekend.

Free lego with daily mail this week, idea for adopted gs, one year he is gonig to tell me, no one are I am too old for it now!

Cut my lawn yesterday afternoon, then decided to be a good neighbour and cut my neighbours as he has / still away for 3 weeks now, and I managed to cut through the electric cable to the flymo! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, no one was hurt and no damage to anything except the cable itself, so going to cut the damaged bit out, and wire in a double socket thing so it all works again!

Not too sure I am in any hurry to do any more 'good deeds!'

Have a good day, hugs if you need one
