    pigpen, is it the Kate Davies Owls jumper you've done?.

    Yes, it is the second one I've done. I did DD1 one.. in the black and grey Brett marble stuff.. I may have a pic somewhere.. a few years ago which she is too big to fit in since having Samuel so I know she will love his.. it is bright red.. I'll do pics when she has it seeing as I copy and paste from facebook and she doesn't know I'm doing it :p

    Morning all.

    I spent last night preparing books. I quit at midnight with more still to go! My shoulder is really aching today from doing the same thing for about 3 hours :(

    Flying wise, I've decluttered 2 empty ink cartridges (Had to go out and buy new ones from Mr A as I had loads still to print when they ran out. £25 for a set of 4x3.3ml ones :eek: Even worse, there's no compatible ones available so I need to find a cheaper supplier next week), and crossed another item off my Toots list! I bought a new cross-cut shredder. I've only needed a new one for about 3 years as my now old one gets very hot and bucks :o

    Todays plan is to finish the books off (about 50+ to go I think), have a bath to soak my shoulder, and when DD gets back from being out with ex we're going to put the books out to customers. If I manage to do anything else it'll be a bonus. This is the reason I only do this once a year ;)

    Off to get dressed before ex arrives, make a fresh coffee and then on with the books. :wave:

    Morning everyone.

    Cat stuff done. Looks like I will have to leave him in the kitchen every night. I'm awake early so won't be too bad.

    Catch up day so will see what I can get done. Need to nip to shops. Then off to DGGD3s birthday party.
  • Hi all

    Was too tired to post last night, I read through the posts and promptly forgot what I wanted to say so decided to update this morning.

    Last night's flying

    Bed stripped and re-made with fresh linen
    BR & landing dusted (need to do light fitting on landing but need to do it when it's not dark as last time I managed to melt parts of the duster when I tried to do it with the light on :o)
    Bath, sink & loo cleaned
    Bathroom dusted
    WM x 1 & washing hung on indoor line
    Shower bleached
    HHI
    Kitchen S&S

    At the paid stuff at the moment and then have an hour to get ready, hetty the house and fold washing before going to my nan's 90th birthday party.

    CY thinking of you, glad your DH is being sorted soon (fingers crossed it's not the end of the cricket career).
    dusty hugs to you - hope you have a good support network in RL whilst you support your friend.
    Fizz enjoy the wedding

    Have a great day all
