Have had a good-ish day today, still feeling better, not overdoing it either. Sorry I've only had time to skim through the thread... I sometimes find it a real struggle to read through everything and keep up, will doing 'up your income' stuff, sorting my home and everything else, if I go quiet again I will be lurking still

Morning all.

Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all.

Todays original plan was to go out and run errands, but then I remembered we're going to see my dad on Friday night for his birthday and since I'm working all day tomorrow I need to get his gift sorted today so I'm not rushing it. Also means if I get a bus pass on Friday to run errands we can jump the bus to my parents so DD will have a chance to pack before she goes away Saturday!

I'm making a list of places I need to go when I run the errands so I don't miss any (like last time) and will hopefully, weather permitting, walk to my first stop.

Anyways, I best get on as I'm hoping to get some flying in as well.

Shredding
Sort dads Gift!

Good morning everyione - I'm late!!! I cannot get over how many owls and larks we have on this thread. I cannot imagine managing to stay awake until the early hours - and was awake at 5:30 although snuggling in with a good book!!!

Master bedroom today which will mean at the end of today I have my four biggest rooms plus hall stairs and landing all complete. Whoopee -- only the kitchen and smallest rooms to go!!!

Hope everyone has a positive day xx

I've done loads today! .
We have lived in this house for 8.5 years and I noticed today that the skirting one side of the hall is ogee and the other is torus! That's hilarious .

I'm going to look really dim (again) but what's ogee and torus?

Glad you're picking up again now but keep taking it steady won't you.


DD pleased with her birthday presents - got her a black with metallic gold skater style dress and I have to say she looks gorgeous in it :A. Other stuff went down well so done 2 birthdays now, just 1 more to go (DS) before Christmas!

Done my typing job and now need to catch up on some other paid work and then will try to fly before off to Pilates. Have a good day everyone!

Pigpen has OH worn his jumper yet? I bet it's lovely and snuggly. Sorry you've got a poorly little girl

It isn't cold enough I think.. it is fairly warm in here. I got wool yesterday for one for DD1's OH so I shall crack on with that when I have finished the pixies jumper.


Yesterday, once the boys were both here we went and gutted their room.. 7 binbags of RUBBISH!!!!! Seriously!! I have no idea where it comes from other than the 2 of them are pigs!


The CoD's was moved from in front of the radiator so hopefully the damp and mould will dry so it can be cleaned away and repainted it is pretty grim. The windows are all manky and mouldy too which considering they were replaced a year ago is not good.


I want to get the gutter and pointing checked up there after Christmas when I can afford to get any work needed done on it.. I'll give the unreliable guy a ring that did the rest.. he did a good job despite 2 days work taking him 3.5 weeks!
