Did 3 Toots list things in main bathroom. The ceiling extractor vent was VERY dusty so got chair out and thoroughly hoovered it. While chair in there, cleaned rust of "soaker" shower arm and rust off the bath curtain rail

Need to be getting dinner on the go in a minute. Will try and do a bit more shortly.

Thank you Dusty, Mrs MP and Lamewolf about Devil Cat and the book. I feel much better about it now and I am really, really enjoying the book.

Big hugs to everyone suffering from BD. Here's hoping for healing all round, and a big pile of sticks to keep you going in the meantime.

Mrs Dog has decided that if we're going to put the kitchen bin with its cargo of chicken bones on the sundeck when we go out, that's fine. She'll just turn it over and scavenge the bits she's interested in when we get back.

well, I'm back for a week and then my visits here look like being extremely sporadic. My bank account, though, will look extremely healthy so swings and roundabouts...

took dd to work today and boy did she work, staples out of boards, board edges dusted, boards re-covered. Intelligent questions asked. Post work trip to ikea to pretty up MY classroom...(mine for now;)) Freezer stocked with meatballs.

I have bought this. I think it will be useful;)

Morning all

Early start here as DS2 started work at 8am. Now taking DS3 to squash and off to the library/shops whilst in the car. Both cars are in need of petrol so DS1 can fill one up later.

Start to prepare to batten down the hatches flyladies in case the storm comes.

Morning all. I have been lurking and thanking you all for kind thoughts for SickDog but not posting as it is just too depressing here at the moment.

What I should be doing this weekend:

Get dressed (it was a struggle just getting out of bed)
Wash up (last nights stuff, really have fallen off the flylady wagon)
Walk OldDog and LittleyDog (will get done)
Bath dogs (may get done, LittleyDog was bathed yesterday)
Hoover through house
Pop to shops
Get garden ready for storm
Meet up with friends

I have no enthusiasm for any of the last four on the list, am cancelling DS's birthday meal out tomorrow and will spend as much time as I can while I can cuddling SickDog.

Hope all your days are better than mine. Catch you all later x

Have a good time Frodders

It keeps turning showery here every time I go out. Sorted a bag of stuff from the loft to donate to the charity shop and one for the scrap store.

Also go the 'Halloween' box down to see if there is anything in there I can give to one or the other on Monday too.

WM just finished so I think that can go on the maiden and then if the drizzle subsides I need to do some bits in the garden.
