Morning all

Lil'me hugs at this difficult time. Almost identical circumstances hit my sisters friend just before Christmas but it was her Mum not Dad (who had already passed away). It was really tough but in time the baby was a fantastic way of life carrying on and I know she really valued her friends at that time.

Morning all

My thoughts are with you lil_me and katharine.


Don't know what level I'm on, but I've polished everything in the living room, moved the furniture round (and vacuumed underneath while I was at it), vacuumed hallway and kitchen.

Forgot to vacuum the stairs! I'll either do it later, or more likely tomorrow when the vacuum is out again.

Stripped my bed and washed that and a load of clothes. All dry so I've just stripped DD's bed and that is nearly ready to hang out. Think today is the best day for drying so I thought I might as well get on with it.

Got down on my hands and knees this morning while watching Martin on "The Wright Stuff" and cleaned the rug in the livingroom - only been meaning to do it since erm...Christmas :o Anyways, now I've eaten my lunch (leftover pasta bake from last night) I'm going to crack on and finish the washing up hopefully, get another load of washing in and then clean the livingroom..Laters :wave:

katherinedrex,sorry to hear about your dog, it must be awful to have to say goodbye, I was trying to prepare myself and the kids for our dog to go last week.She had a stroke last week and has gone blind. She tried to come upstairs this morning and fell down backwards. When I took her to the vet on Friday I didn't think she would be coming home with us.
pigpen I hope you are feeling better soon

I'm going to have a go at this little lot when I get home.

I can cheat abit as the Hall, Stairs and Landing is being decorated which OH is cleaning as he goes along :rotfl:

I'll see how it goes.

Vinyl floorings done in the dogs room. Just waiting for silicone to dry. Working out what I need to buy for Megan the new dog aswell. Don't dare risk getting her a collar just yet and it not fitting. All flights so far up here are on time or early so that is a good sign as it's foggy and I was starting to worry.

Living room still looks like a bomb has dropped So much needs doing, think I'll start with clearning the sofas, after a coffee of course.

Still another suitcase full of laundry to get washed but nowhere left to dry them as it's raining again, so waiting before I put them in.

Lil_me I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and what her family are going through.
Kathrine - so sorry about your dog

Have been catching up with the kitchen and had a good sort through in the lving room still not feeling 100% it keeps going for a bit then coming back again.Just got to nip out and soet a few things out.

I have been at college this morning and am totally bushed now.. and I have my first full governors meeting after school.. so that should be a hoot.. I am even mentioned in the agenda.. ooooohhhh... I feel all special!!! lol
