Bathroom done - it is now sparkling!

Coffee, then I'll tackle the master bedroom. I'll muti-task and put the washing in the TD and throw another wash in while the kettle boils.

After a good deal of teeth gnashing someone somewhere has got their backside in gear and DH is on his way to ortho clinic this morning.

Receptionist rang me and I gave her DH's work number.

'Is it alright to phone him at work?'
'Yes' I replied. 'He's desperate to hear from you.'
'Will he be able to come to clinic this morning?' she asked

2 minutes later DH rang, from his mobile, on the way to clinic!

Result!

That's great, CY!! So pleased for your DH - hnow let's hope he gets the treatment he needs asap. In my experience, once you get to the clinic it's all fairly quick: it's that first stage that seems to take forever.

(((Hugs))) and GWS vibes to you. Thinking of you, your mum and your sister today - hope your sister's plan works out.

Somewhere in this HoD (= House of Doom) I have lost an A1 size plastic wallet containing sheets of coloured art card. I know I saw it in the garage a few weeks ago - I thought I had brought it upstairs because it belongs to my work stuff, and there aren't many places to hide it here. But do you think we can find it?!?!? Very frustrating :mad:
I shall just have to get round the problem of mounting large notices on A4 cards joined; perhaps wide sellotape on the back will do the trick.

Decluttered a lot of my overgrown mop of hair earlier. When I moved to my previous home town it took me 6 months to find a hairdresser. This time I've done it in one, and the salon is just a quarter of a mile from our house

:coffee: available on tap for all who need a break

All customers delivered to now (except the one who can't pay until next week), and I am surrounded by paperwork trying to work out who isn't getting a book (Abusive/empty/student/bad customers I've dropped don't get one). Bad news is, after checking, I do need to put those slips in. So I'm sorting out my lists of addresses then when I pull the books out to put the slips in I'll put a newsletter in as well, seal the bags ready to go and put them out.

I knew it was going to be busy today so I went to the shop and bought microwave meals for tonight, at least its better than getting take-out again, kind of As I was walking past the 'bit' shop I spotted they had new bits, so I went in and managed to get 2 new throw cushions with covers for £2 I'll get them in the wash later. But first, I need to try and find my out of date spreadsheet and some forms from this time last year so I can get my lists done. :wave:
