    JTTOU I have the same problem with frogs :D

    Today I've got mountains of holiday washing to do, I have one airing horse, no outside space at the moment to hang washing and I refuse to put the heating on. So I am constantly rotating washing, nevermind, bit of exercise after all those holiday pounds I've gained!

    Watching trash TV in bed, in a onesie, I've officially become scum :D Just kidding, feels that way today though haha!

    It's heartening to know other people's dogs bin-dive so thanks for that. When we went out last night we put the bin out and her food very close to where the bin usually is. She ate everything in her normal bowls and left the other bowlful. *thinks* May be able to get the dog to eat just by hiding the bin and then going out.

    :wave: Welcome Rachel021967.

    I'm going to try timetabling my time over the next few days. I'm working hard on the house atm and feel disappointed at the end of every day that I haven't achieved more. I'm probably being unrealistic with the list, so today I'm going to try working out how long each task should take and limit the work I expect to do.

    Lodger's Leavings of skimmed milk are in the slow cooker in an attempt to make yoghurt for the first time.

    OH and I are going cold turkey. Spider Solitaire is now banned in this house. Expect ructions.
    Better is good enough.

    Optimistic Mummy glad it went well with MIL

    Mrs-Moneypenny thinking of you, hope it goes well this afternoon. Nice DH can come too (hugs)

    Honey Bear good idea re timetabling; the day goes so quickly doesn't it and it's so easy to just lose time and not be able to do all you set out to do

    Pigpen you're whizzing through OH's jumper! I've only done a few more rounds on DS's jumper but am pleased with the wool (el cheapo from Aldi!)

    Haven't done much flying as paid work I had took for ever - training a new chap and it's hard work - oh well least I get paid for the time I take. Just got kids presents out and going to put them and prices on spreadsheet so I can keep track of costs - told DH to tell me when he buys anything too as he's a bit of a fleabay addict and gets lots of DVDs etc. Had scrambled lunch with DH and shortly off to Pilates to give my poor old back a good stretch!

    Afternoon all!
    Been here in spirit but not body this week! Don't go near the kids rooms, so far today have blitzed the bathroom and kitchen, made a pot of red pepper soup to use up the peppers, been to the doctors, had an hour on the phone to MIL and been to the garden of remembrance with some flowers, today would have been OH's 50th birthday and I am trying to distract myself! I am off to HB to buy some loo rolls, then will tackle mount ironmore, need to organise my clothes for the weekend and pack a bag as I am off to London with 2 friends as one of them's birthday treat!
    RIP Iain
