My... aren't we an eloquent bunch

Nicki Glad to hear the tooth pain is receding x
Bossy Hope the little moos are both back to normal soon xx
piggers I thought they were different DDs... but I thought DD2 was the bottom photo so I was confused :huh: they are both beautiful with amazing skin xx

I did another HHC later in the day, in the bathroom. Everything scrubbed. I just need to do the window tomorrow.

Pizza and salad prepared and scoffed with my sis and her kids. When I say prepared, I mean pizza shoved in the oven & various salad bits chopped. Little ones decided the pizzas needed 'decorating' with salad, so they pushed bits of cucumber, lettuce & peppers into the hot melted cheese - it tasted surprisingly good!

Well done all those mega decluttering but please never throw out photos... speaking as a family historian *cough* once gone they can never be replaced and even if you don't want them you can bet someone in your family will, someday. I wonder if a family history business could set up an offshoot company to store & catalogue old unwanted photos for possible future use :think:

Oooh! Haven't had a star since schooldays (and that's longer ago than I care to think about, lol) and never a platinum one. Thanks very much. BTW, I've seen it on several messages, but what does ETA mean, please? I always thought it meant Estimated Time of Arrival .....

Right. I'm decided. I need some trainers, but other than that, I have got a learn to run app on my phone and I'm starting on Tuesday. My run days will be Tue (generally after work when DS is swimming and DD still at nursery), Thu (when DS at school, DD will have to come with me :eek: she can play on the park and I will run round the playground) and Sat when I can either ditch them with a granny or they can come with me. DS might want to do it with me!

Hurrah! Fingers crossed I will keep it up...

Reporting back in......well ended up playing "hunt the shed keys" as mechanical sheep was out of petrol, I swear between us we must have completed the 101 challenge

Spent 4 hours in the back garden........with DS's "help" managed to get the main grass area chewed down to an acceptable length, half the borders have had next door's brambles cut back and ripe fruit picked, over hanging apples and plums decluttered. Back border has had a small mountain of bell-bine unwound from privet and other plants, but I need to wait for a better day to pick every last scrap of it out of the borders.

Bonus of not hacking next door's overgrowth back this summer is that I found that I have quite a number of over-hanging sloes.....can they be used for anything other than sloe gin? (I can count on one hand the number of alcoholic drinks I have had in the last 4 years :rotfl: )

Spurred on, I might have a chainsaw massacre on the weeds round the log cabins and the shed tomorrow although I am supporting DD2 when she is working at a D!sney themed charity event tomorrow, so I will have to make an early start

Right, more lurking back later

Excellent - well done you! A friend recommended the Zombie Run 5K app which is like a story that you listen to and walk / run as appropriate and is based on the Couch 2 5k one. I'm thinking of starting that one but need to look into it a bit more. I have the trainers though ........

bonnie et al - I've looked at trains to Brum and, at the moment, I can get tickets from Pompey for £13.50 each way :money: Price will go up though, so are we definitely going for the Tuesday? Sorry for nagging Looking forward to it!

Need to go to bed now and try and get some sleep.

Night all, sleep well xx

Hi all

HB thanks to the hoarding thread, earlier this year I decided to ditch a load of photos from my teens of me and people who I thought at the time were my friends. It was a no brainer really - did I want to be reminded of people that pretended to be my friends and are part of the reason why I find it difficult to accept people actually like me. The answer of course was no! If there are any photos of people that you don't want to be reminded of the jettison them to the nearest bin.

Sorry that's turned into a bit of an essay.

Flying wise

Landing, BR, LR & hallway runner hettyed
All ironing is done (including my new bedding :j)

Went to my brother's new house for fish & chips (they moved in today) it's lovely and has lots of potential.

Me too - Tuesday 29th October is fine for me :T

Back from short break with DGSs. Flying here is severely restricted by the furniture from the lounge currently cluttering the kitchen and dining room, so tomorrow I will flutter with the butterflies in the garden, weather permitting!
