Lost my post earlier..............here it is...............

Hello all xx

Cheese pnwheels in the oven for packed lunches, DD had a cooked dinner and is ready for Guides. OH dinner is ready.

Car battery was flat this morning, for some reason, so got a lift to school and walked home. Either OH will be home with jump leads or DSD will be back from college to take DD to her Guide's.

I've wiped down the kitchen but have a couple of dishes to do..........I'll do them after OH eats.

May try and get a bit of ironing done when DD is out.................

Hugs to all xx

Since then, the internet went down and the laptop ran out of charge.

Put it on charge and done some ironing, OH cam ein and had his food. Went to jump start the car and it was having done of it!!!! Called for a mechanic neighbour to help and another neighbour to move his car so OH could put his van in front of the car instead of blocking the road. I went to the shop for bread and when I got back the car was running...........Quick dash to get DD to Guides and now I'm sitting down.............Going to look at list and see if there is anything I can cross off anything (I have done most of the dailies)

Hi Deco - When you say a granny square, do you mean the ones with different colours, the sort that are usually done for blankets? If so, can I help in any way? I've got over 200 of them and one day will sit down and sew/crochet them together (that's a Toots list item).

Thanks Rebecca - I'm trying to follow a utube tutorial Nicki kindly put a link up to - I will pm you if that's ok? I don't want to take up too much of the fred

Deco.. I can't crochet to save my life.. I have tried many times!!! I just don't get it.

But your knitting is beautiful - you've inspired me to knit my niece a cardy for part of her christmas present. Oh and your words to LW were spot on - thank you I couldn't have put it so well.

Hi again,
I washed the bath mats and some towels, they are now hanging up to dry (also progress for me) I cleaned the sink and loo, still need to do bath and shower screens. I sorted out my huge collection of cut out recipes and thinned it to about 1/3 of what I had and I did some washing up.
Now I am in the spare room/study and clearing the bed in there and just generally having a bit of a tidy

Sorry folks, not caught up with thread, I'm just checking my list before I go to bed, while I did an urgent admin job. Tomorrow I'll flutter in the morning but then I want to get out to the bank & shops asap but my bus pass won't be valid until 9.30am

So lets see what I've got left to do:

My list for today:

Wash skirting board & back corner paintwork
Wash up
Clean worktops / window sil
Tea in slowcooker
Mop kitchen / livingroom

Not too much left at all I'll do the kitchen jobs tomorrow first thing while I make my breakfast. For now I'm going to find my book and read until 10pm then head off to bed. Hopefully I'll find it easier to get up in the morning

Night all :wave:

Hello,

splitting headache, so this is going to be brief.

I cleared my desk, tried tidying up under it but stuff wouldn't fit any better, still it looks better.

Bathroom, oddly I did the getting rid of half empty bottles on Friday and so it is good to go. I have put away my ironing and hung out clothes for tomorrow.

thank you for the welcome XXX

Evening all.

Lamewolf, glad you're ok. And you are Very Lovely & don't you forget that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, I've been exhausted today due to small child not sleeping much last night. So I'm about to go to bed.

Today I cleaned the bathroom & downstairs loo.

I did a wash load, put a wash load away & did some ironing.

I also hoovered downstairs.

Let's hope I get some sleep & I have more energy tomorrow. Although looking at the calendar it's nearly that time of the month. And I'm always exhausted. I only thought to look at the calendar as the 3 for £1 walnut whips I bought today have all been eaten. By me.

Night all

Love, hugs & spoons xxx

I managed to fix the printer eventually - that's one frog that won't croak for a while.

Group Therapy for BD attended, although I fear it may be a waste of my time and money (course is free, but I have to pay for DD4 to go into nursery)

Saw the vampires at Phlebotomy for my HB1AC, only 3 months overdue....could be worse:eek:

returned paperwork for hire of soft play gym for DS and his friends for the party the EX promised him he could have.

Enrolled Ds for swimming lessons, living coastal backwaters he really should learn how to swim - done and paid.

DD3 collected from school after practice for school play

Shopping for a whoopsie tea from Mr M and Mr T and party invites. All invites pre-written now just need the names of the kids to go inside and on the envelope.

DS and DD4 bathed, DD4 is currently asleep, DS is getting sleepy, so I will turn in myself shortly
