    Hello. Funny one today. Walked into lounge and wondered what in the world the flaky stuff was all over the floor. On coming back in 2 hours later, realised it was fish scales and there was the fish :eek:. Picked it up and the bliddy thing started flapping around :eek:. So I stuck it in a saucepan of water where it stayed for 2 hours until the people over the road came home. They agreed it was theirs. I was mortified when I took it back and they said "Oh it's the big one" :(. I apologised and the lady said not to worry, it's nature for cats to get fish. Hopefully said fish will survive but I'm not sure. It would have been out of the water for at least 4 hours as muggy was asleep on my bed for at least 2. Little minx.
    Not much achieved today other than that, just keeping on with the washing.
    Meeting my friend for coffee tomorrow and then have a study session in the afternoon.
    Happy birthday Dot, well done on the colouring :).
    Cy, sorry your Mum isn't well. Hope the news isn't too bad.
    Ionafan, glad your DH is discharged. Enjoy your SW tomorrow.
    Sorry to anyone I've missed...

    Hmmm well nothing really off the list as such but just sorted through a huge pile of paperwork building up on the drawers. Filed what needed filed, recycled the cr*p and organised the rest into neat piles of house move things and job things (got made staff in August so loads of pension/benefits stuff to complete). Also sorted a few AS things that needed done and placed this weeks order.
    The BF got a few tasks done towards the Toots moving list.

    Got some boxes left sitting here so will go pack up some bits from the kitchen while making a cuppa tea.
    Will have a look at the list and have a look for info online for a few tasks

    Evening

    After school club was a success, although its been a long day and we've had a few tears tonight but only from tiredness (not me lol).

    I've managed to sort the kitchen, except emptying DW. A wash has been done, all fed, packup, bags and clothes ready for morning and I can scratch one off my toots list as I've been through and sorted my wardrobe! Hurrah!

    So we're in good shape, until later this week when I need to find homes for the entire contents of the conservatory...

    Valli, what a git! Pfft.

    Away with the fairies :beer:
