    Congratulations susan296 :beer: Glad to hear that all is well.

    There's a pile of sticks here ready for LW's BD if he dares show his face tomorrow. Loved the idea (was it Fizz?) of throwing long sticks so that BD can't get back in through the door :rotfl:

    (((Hugs))) to mrs-mp. Could you ask your MiL's GP to speak to you or your DH about her medication?

    Decorations sorted and boxed; they will have to be put away in the loft tomorrow.

    Wishy-Washy Wednesday ~ Luscious Living Room, Hallway and Stairs
    30 minutes to spare...
    Vacuum the cleared floors and up the stairs.. under furniture if you can move it safely!
    Got an hour...
    Wipe the paintwork
    Dust the flat surfaces
    Extras

    2. Wash the windows in these rooms

    Had a lovely peaceful evening catching up on all my DVR programmes while DD did her homework ;) She actually focused on the work as she wasn't interested and the house wasn't too quiet if you know what I mean. I have no programmes left now until the next one starts at 2pm tomorrow, so it'll be online catch up for me while I do the boring work tomorrow :D

    So before I go to bed I'm going to make sure stuff is ready for tomorrow then write in my gratitude journal ala 0prah. One of many New Years resolutions is to write 5 or more things down each night that I am thankful for or made me laugh so when I'm feeling blue I can look back through it and hopefully cheer myself up. Thing that makes me chuckle each day though is the journal has black dogs all over it and that's why I chose that one over a flowery one. I will be more positive about things this year as I'm trying out the whole "think positive and positive things will happen" thing. ;)

    Any ways, I best get a move on or I won't have the energy to do my exercise tomorrow :j Night all :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Today the Sky man came and installed my special offer multiroom, had a lovely dinner, followed by a screaming Tiny not wanting to sleep.
    Having a quick run around now to pick up the odds and ends.
    Back to school tomorrow.

    I hope the morning brings a breath of fresh air for everyone and BD's are further away than they are today, if not, there is always the next day - it won't last forever.

    Congratulations on the Grandchild that was born.

    Loool. I need to learn that skill for my little friend Gloria who likes to preach every now and then. My sky man was scheduled although I wasn't too impressed by him calling at 8am to tell me he would be here between 11 and 1.

    Morning all. Congratulations Susan.

    I did the LR on Monday and yesterday did all that I intended, including the ironing, and quite a few jobs from the kitchen list. So before the paid stuff today, I intend to change our bedding and put a duster round our bedroom.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Pigpen i thought you had to have a tv licence if you had any device in the house that was capable of receiving a tv or radio signal including computers. If im wrong that will save dd2 some money as they could only watch tv through iplayer etc as the house they've moved into has no ariel but her fella was told because they have tvs even for gaming and dvds they still need a licence
