    Apart from that FFP... if she ever turns normal she shall be disowned and exiled :p

    I request a day off.. oh no wait... I've had 5 months of that... I think we should pick a flybot and go clean their house.. I pick Bossy's .... and it might take several of you to do mine :p

    perhaps we can arrange an Autumn flymeet (October half-term?) What do people think of Birmingham - ish, would this this be reasonable mid-point for most people??

    I'm up for this - like ionafan, setting the date asap would be good for me :D

    Slept a lot today :o post-festival shatteredness!! Also went to see Dad and de-Reading my tent, etc.

    Aiming to get up a little earlier each day from now on so I can (hopefully) manage to get up for work on Tuesday!

    Tomorrow I must go and do a repeat prescription, do several HHCs and a least look at some school stuff!

    Night all, sleep well xx

    Just updating the list so that DD has got one to work from tomorrow. We're going to have a C-word movie day on Saturday with hot chocolate/squirty cream/marshmallows and choc chip cookies as a reward if she helps out ;)

    DD said my face its noticeably swollen and its now effecting my speech slightly and causing me to bite the inside of my cheek if I'm not careful, but its not as painful as it was this morning although anything touching my face is still quite painful. Its also noticeably warmer than the other side of my face so its a corker of an infection it would appear.

    I've just remembered I'm supposed to be at the opticians on Friday morning, think I might ring them and re-arrange it for when DD has gone back to school as I already have plans for the few days she's home and then I've got loads of work on. I don't want anyone near my face if I can help it until this problem is sorted out or they may be learning a few new swear words :o

    Wash up TFSS
    Beds TFSS
    S&S Bathroom WTFSS

    Thur: CALL OPTICIANS - Cancel appointment. Arrange for 11th onwards
    Fri: Opticians 10.10am
    Sat: No ex
    Sun: Ex here

    Manic Monday:

    run the vacuum over high traffic areas

    Tuesday : Bedroom antics!
    15 Minutes?
    Vacuum as much of the carpet as you can easily access
    30 minutes?
    Dust every surface
    Polish those mirrors
    Dust the headboard
    wipe the switches
    1 whole hour
    Strip the bedding
    vacuum and turn your mattress
    dust the skirting board

    Wednesday: love your lounge!
    30 minutes?
    dust everything you possibly can
    wipe those light switches and ICKY remotes and any other sticky spots
    if it's a whole hour
    then FULL MONTY - bring out the big guns - whatever equipment you need and tackle that floor; moving furniture if you can
    don't forget the skirting board - if you've got it, it needs dusting!

    Thursday: beautify the bathroom
    dusting
    mirror buffing
    clean the floor

    I did a lot of the bathroom on Monday, so DD can give it a S&S after she's had her bath. ;) I think tomorrow I'll get the belt loops stitched on DDs school trousers then start my C-plan lists :p Right now,I'm going to take a painkiller and go to bed. I have to be up in the morning, I'm due meds at 7am :eek:

    Morning all

    I'm lying in bed with my kindle at the moment. Seeing as I did hardly anything yesterday I've got loads to do today as well as the dentist at 2-55 and then beavers tonight. I've still got stuff to do in my bedroom - I really wanted DH to take the old bed apart last night but he didn't want to so I might take the mattress off it today and see what it's like to take apart. I've also done no ironing so I could do with getting some of that done at some point.

    Anyway I'm rambling so I think I'll spend a bit longer browsing on my kindle then I'll get up.

    BTW I'd be up for a meet in Brum.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    Evening everyone,

    I just wanted to say thank you for all your kind wishes. Today I have decluttered a 5 hour drive to Edinburgh, eaten dinner with my sister and family <3 and been to a gig which was so loud, my ears are still ringing.

    Tomorrow we tidy up the last few bits, deliver the wedding cake to the restaurant and have dinner with our collective families. By 11.30 on Friday morning I will be someone's missus :D

    Worth all the stress? You betcha! xx

    Well you will probably have other things to think about tomorrow so I just wanted to wish you a very very Happy Wedding Day. Savour every moment of it, let everyone spoil you rotten and try not to worry about any of the practical stuff. Enjoy!

    I am working this aft so will be flying this morning. Might think of a cheap and cheerful treat for the kids tomorrow as our last proper day of the holidays.

    Morning all

    Last day before we pack up for the long journey home. Off to a market today, out for luch and then lounging all afternoon. Just need to gee everybody along to get ready.

    I have washing to put on the line and the WM to put on - like to take some stuff back clean if I can :D

    My boys back on Tuesday so I'll have 48 hours at home to finish the BTS prep before much longer school days. Love September and I'm starting to formulate plans.
