    Morning everyone.

    Dailies and kitchen got done yesterday.

    Lunch and shopping with DD today. Also need to see if I can get a new back cover put on my phone.

    Bloomin cat has had me awake half the night. Either running round or lying next to me purring or snoring.

    Hugs, sticks and spoons where needed.

    Narco I would have said I'll come back to you or submit it online at some point

    That was the first part of the shaggy dog story........tried to log on 2 days ago; password failed although I knew it was right. Clicked on "forgotten password" link. Tried the new one they sent me. Guess what, it didn't work. At which point I phoned them and stupidly owned up to not being called Christopher XXXX as he is my partner, so she wouldn't take my readings. Easier to grab a passing milkman and get him to say he was my partner...............

    Anyway, lights now flashing on new meter and sun trying to come out, so I guess the slow cooker I've just filled will be a free dinner this evening, yippee.

    I woke up in a foul mood (think Oscar the Grouch with p.m.s ) probably wasn't help by lack of sleep and the woman from the back to work thing yesterday winding me up!
    I'm so peed (can I say peed?) off with picking up after my teenage daughters (15 & 18) It doesn't matter how many times I tell them to pick their stuff up from the front room they never do it!! Just from where I'm sitting I can see 3 pairs of DD1's foot wear! There's make up bags on the sofa, books, box of acrylic nail stuff and a laptop dumped on the floor! :O
    I hate to think what their room looks like!! :O
    I shall have my revenge tonight *evil laugh* WE ARE CLEARING OUT THE ATTIC!!! I can't find something up there which means it's too full, we're going to go through it all and I shall take what's not need to my friend's charity shop tomorrow (it's not his shop obviously, he's the manager)
    DW is on, WM needs loading, I'm lucky I've already done the bathroom so it just needs a quick wipe round. Loads of other stuff to do though :( just going to finish my coffee and off I trot . . .

    Read this story

    I didn't get much done yesterday until late evening. Today I am trying to sort out the cupboards and drawers in the study/bedroom. Too much paper, too many files :o but I need them all, so they've got to be put in a more logical order. The A4 clear plastic boxes that I bought are good because I can easily see what's in them.

    The boss of the Garden Gang is still in bed with flu :( and they probably won't be back until Monday now

    DH is happy because he has a new phone at a cheaper rate :money:

    I need to go and take back some clothes which are unsatisfactory - the trousers have shrunk by about 6" after their first wash (I obeyed all the washing instructions to the letter) and I am *not* wearing jack-ups :cool:

    (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks to all as needed.

    Ionafan, what are 'jack-ups?'

    Wendy Witch, have you considered shoving everything that isn't yours into a big black plastic bag and putting it in a place your daughters wouldn't consider looking (like under the kitchen sink), and then letting them learn that their stuff needs looking after - by them? The more you clear up after them, the more they'll think it's your responsibility - what you're doing is undermining what you're saying. (You can tell I don't have children, can't you?!)

    I'm doped up to the eyeballs and floating through the day. I'm on count down to the needley event at 2.50, and hoping that the new dentist knows his stuff about phobic patients. For the last 25 years I've had to have a GA in order to allow someone I don't know very well to put an electric drill in my mouth, switch it on and apply it to a part of my person. I'm consoling myself with soup.
    Better is good enough.

    Afternoon all.

    Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all.

    My GUAG has run away. I am so tired its ridiculous. This morning I slept in until 7.30 and just managed to get downstairs in my pjs and dressing gown to see DD out to school and thats after spending most of yesterday evening asleep on the sofa. :( I've lost most of this morning to having a bath, juggling washing and trying to restore some order to downstairs so I can concentrate on paid stuff as it was irritating me seeing all this stuff sitting there.

    My kitchen is a disgrace because DD didn't wash up last night like she was supposed to :mad: I'm not doing it for her, so I've cleared a section of worktop to use for making my lunch/coffee, put the toaster and clean dishes away and she can do the dishes tonight. I wouldn't mind but she didn't do them Monday or Tuesday night either.:mad: I'm happy to wash up of a morning after breakfast and wash any left over dishes that have been soaking etc, but her one household chore is to do 1 batch of dishes a day. She can also vacuum through if she wants her pocket money. The entire house is covered in dried mud from her school shoes. She knows she's supposed to take them off and leave them in the livingroom due to the mud (laminate floor so easy to clean), but it looks like she's been doing riverdance through the house and its in my room as well and now getting trodden into the carpets.:mad:

    This afternoon I need to concentrate on paid stuff, I have loads of orders to sort and get on the system by tonight. I'm really trying not to work when DD is home so I have approx 3 hours to do what I would normally take 6 hours to do! I think I also have 2 more wash loads to do, then I need to take the sofa cover off and wash that. Not entirely sure what DD has managed to spread all over it but its not coming off so into the washing machine it'll go again with stain remover again.

    I best go get the next wash load, then get on with work. :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!

    They are Budgies lol that's a Middlesbrough thing tho.... I think Ionafan is saying the are now too short like erm... 3/4 instead of full length lol.

    Budgies is an awful way to put actually as its a saying as in 'your budgies have died' I could be wrong tho.

    Washing up to date, kitchen clean(minus floor) bathroom clean, bedrooms tidy.

    Front room is littered in toys and I have a Ironing pile I was gonna do the other night so nows its even bigger also the kitchen floor needs doing aagghhhhh I hate it.
