  • I am hoping to be back with you good flyfolks tomorrow and get some stuff off of listy. DD1 and DD2 are both home from Uni in one piece and eating me out of house and home. Had a successful whoopsie hunting trip to Mr T tonight with DD3 on trolley guarding duty, all fridges and freezers now full to bursting.

    DS has introductory session at his Primary school after nursery tomorrow followed by swimming, so I am expecting him to conk out soon after.....fingers crossed I can really crack on then!

    hugs, sticks, spoons all in the jar, please help yourselves
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Gosh, I don't know what happened to the day ??


    Got up, breakfasted, cleared up kitchen stuff, cleared emails, passed through bathroom and went to meet friend for quick lunch (not seen her since December :eek: ) Then to paid work and arrived back home at 22.20 this evening !!

    Oh and Lynne, I always say this to anyone creative because I am hopeless but a chariot out of balsa, wow. We need a pic of the finished article!
    It wasn't me - honestly - it's Ionafan. Moi - creative - you are definitely having a giraffe :laugh: I wish - sighs - plenty of imagination but no creation :)

  • Morning all - been reading the several pages of *fred* to catch up!

    Slightly worse for wear this am as seem to lose all sense when in local w*spoons!!! Had lovely evening with DH - hopefully will be able to go out more often in future - we had got into a habit of not going anywhere at all and that is a habit that is hard to break.

    Congrats to youngsters with trophies/doing exams etc. Thanks for congrats on achieving npart one of June challenge - will not achieve part 2!!

    Ionafan - that used to happen to me when I got near to my target - just keep going and perhaps go back to week one and write everything down - try different recipes - it is easy to get stuck eating the same things.

    Up early doing prep work for the week after next and trying to sort a box of papers before DH gets up.

    Plan for today is more gardening and get mulch and cat scent off stuff down, followed by vol job pm.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning all

    Natty, thats really good news. I know our local GPs surgery is now offering people with mental health problems a half hour telephone call with a counsellor instead of face to face sessions. What good is that? The whole service seems to be falling apart.

    Well its a lovely morning out there. Just found a few things to top the bin up as its only 3/4 full and they will be collecting it soon.

    Work this morning, not a lot to do at work at the moment and I would rather be at home doing other things but still.

    Have a good Wednesday everyone!

    Morning everyone. I have to admit that I am going off list so far today. I've sorted banking, cleaned downstairs loo and after gym/shower/dog walk will be cutting the grass while the weather is still holding fine.

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

    Hello everyone I hope today is going to be a good one :)

    The beginning of the week has been a shower of [STRIKE]shi[/STRIKE] poo! DS2 has had a sickness bug and now everywhere smells. He seems a lot better this morning but I need to give everywhere a deep clean.

    BOSSY my challenge has changed a wee bit. Bunks arrived yesterday my dad had ordered us them at the weekend so I now need to pay him back £370 I still would like to loose £5 (lol Dusty if was that easy I would set you up direct debit ;) )

    Right I need to get Dd dressed for school and me too I guess. 1st load is in the wm then when I come back I can start on the list. OH needs to go to the tip to take Dd old bed and a few broken toys.

    EDIT: LIST MOVED TO NEXT DAY!
    Morning all. Lovely, lovely day here this morning. New DW is now in and ready to go. Am just going to get on with our room which is like a pit at the moment. DH is hunting for stuff which he has left lying around and has gone missing. As I suspected, it has gone under the sofa.
    I can't believe how much washing there is on my bedroom floor. It shouldn't take too long to put away it's just that it's only ever me who does it :(.
    Must do photo tonight for my driving licence or DH will be the only one driving whilst we're on holiday :)

    Morning!

    Kids away to club. Words was had with supervisor, who is fab, so all good. Then saw manager in the street and told her too for good measure. Her son takes same medication so she knows how important it is that I know if she's had the right amount. Sorted!

    Natty that is good news, shame you have to wait but it will be Christmas before you know it :eek:

    lozzy I will update for you X

    Have a good day all. Paid stuff for me. Off I go!
