    Happy Birthday Dusty.HSbirthday_surprise_smiley.gifbday2.gif

    I have had hugs from small people today; a little note and lots of good wishes (including a Merry Valentine's Day:rotfl:)
    I have flown - I have emptied the DW done 2 x WM and 1 x TD

    I am absolutely cream crackered.

    Apparently I LOOK cream crackered, too!

    I hope you had a lovely day Dusty.

    My day has been a tale of 2 halves. Less said the better.

    Bathroom clean and disinfected (we have had lurgy this week). Slow cooked lamb for kids and M&S dine in for grown ups. Why did I bother?

    Really windy here in north Essex tonight. One of our fence panels is looking really wobbly! I'll go searching in the morning!

    Still up! The wind is fair bad here and the puss is spooked. Cat flap keeps rattling. I have heavy eyelids :( so am away to bed.
    I've not been on as general lethargy all week has left me just reading posts- however, I did many loads of washing today and all are now in the bedrooms they belong to and only DS has to put away (I think). I spent a good while researching how to whiten my bedding again as it was becoming distinctly yellow. Today I tackled one set which I soaked in the bath with a tub of bicarbonate and half a tub of salt, it's only got the faintest ingle left now so ALL of my whites have been shoved in the bath for a second go. This includes all my poshest bedding so I really hope it works. The first sheet had a kind of blue staining on it too from DH's sweating but I stuck it in to soak again with some soda crystals and the blue looks to be gone!

    Dusty, so sorry I missed your birthday. Many belated happy returns you lovely lady xx
    Right, am beyond pooped, night all xx

    Morning,

    Well I have had to strip DS bed :o never mind. And DD has been feverish all night. Just given her some more meds but she does seem a little brighter.
    Still wild here so we are staying put. I'm having a laundry day. I may also tackle a garage shelf. Yes I'm still trying to get this one under control.

    Oh, and on the D perspective, I have a coffee D on Tuesday with A. And another, called D has asked too, although I'm not sure if I scared him off with the W word. Well, he did ask, and I wasn't about to lie! If that made sense, well done to you!!! How exciting

    Morning everyone.

    Dusty Belated Birthday Greetings. :bdaycake:

    IonafanHugs.

    bossymoo Hope dd feels better soon.

    I've been mostly working to my own lists this week. Got a few jobs to finish off today. Just feel like having a duvet day. Kitchen is slowly getting emptied. Even though it won't be started for 4 to 6 weeks I want to get it emptied. Every time I come upstairs I pop something in the spare room. DD helped the other day.

    Hugs,sticks and spoons where needed.
  • Morning all - hope everyone is safe after last night.

    Sitting in waiting Mr T wine delivery - free 1K points with order so that will treat us to a meal out when the voucher arrives - well that's my excuse! Then library so I don't get a huge fine like last time when I forgot what day it was.

    Need to get ahead of myself Flying wise this weekend as we are away most of next week - and more research to do too! - busy busy busy.

    Have a good weekend everyone.xx
