Congratulations Jazee :T Enjoy your debt-free day and fantastic future :J

Pigpen, I agree 100% on all counts with Bonnie :rotfl:

Well done on your weight loss, JTTOU. I lost nothing again this week, which - after allowing for the slight gain while we were on holiday - means an overall loss of only 1lb in June - nothing like the 5 lb I had hoped for. I think I have been sitting too much this month: in the car, on trains, at my desk, etc. I definitely need more exercise. I shall force DH to take me out tomorrow and we will go for a walk in our beautiful countryside - climb a hill somewhere, rather than follow the canals. I don't think he will need much persuading Will carry over my challenge to July.

Today I managed to
- attend a meeting from 7.00-8.45 am and provide breakfast for 8 people
- tidy the kitchen, WUDUPA and clear worktops
- dust the LR
- hoover all downstairs
- steam mop the kitchen, DR and hall
- make some more course materials
- run the course session
- give feedback to my colleague
- cook a roast dinner

Now planning to do some knitting for the rest of the evening. I need to sort my needles and make sure I've got all the sizes in different lengths. (Can't get my head round mm rather than the old numbered sizes!)

mrs-moneypenny

back from martial arts, did the paperwork and some cross stitch while i was there.
i have to agree with you iona i work in proper numbers for needles rather than mms mine need sorting as well ive got a vase full of them. takes ages to find a pair.

finsihed the top cross stitch band on the cushion and have started the bottom one, need to do the back stitch in gold thread on both as well.

tomorrow up early as i need to get on top of my cleaning before doing mils and then hospital. hope it wont be as much waiting aobut tomorrow but im taking a book and my knitting as i dont think ill be allowed in with her while she has the tests.

Got the washing in and did half the ironing.

Going downhill now so off to bed.

DD cooked dinner (on yesterday's list)
Nextdoor neighbour saw me pulling out weeds by hand and offered to help next week with his big shears
Much hilarity had with my family history online friends with the name 'Plop'
Wimbledon watched and the lovely young man who beat Nadal put on my list for DD's possible husbands

Glad you are feeling better dusty x


Deep clean - oh dear - for me it has to be the bathroom


ETA the girth of my new washing line is bigger than the existing hole *snigger* I'm hoping I can pull out the existing spike and replace with the new, wider spike (only a few mm difference) If anyone has advice re installing new rotary washing lines I would be grateful x

wondering what offensive ties pigpens OH has

This should work but.. this is one helluva hideous tie!! It looks like he has vomited down his front.. it is not allowed to be worn EVER!!! I just got him some pretty ones.


I 'helped' choose the striped one behind.

Shocking! Is this the tie that fell into the path of the vacuum and was lost forever...

Now you will have nightmares!! I know!!! What the heck was he thinking when he bought this!?

Mumto5

Frog munched. I am exhausted. Insurance claims are a nightmare.

Having said that I am still no nearer to getting 2 quotes for the hole in my kitchen ceiling!

Today I have Decluttered £30 so the kids could see their Movie club/dance teachers perform Mary P0ppins. It was much better than I expected!

Downstairs and stairs have seen the Dyson (again). 4 loads of washing done. DH has jet washed the brickwork to get rid of the green algae (we've had lots of rain!). I've washed all the windows and paintwork to get rid of the jet wash spray.

I suspect DH has been smoking again. I'm terrified considering what we went through this time last year . I'm going through the bins tomorrow to gather evidence. I so want to be wrong. I will do him considerable harm if he has. We are in a good place at the moment so I don't want to have a row without solid proof.

Honey_Bear

Multi-quotes are playing up here.


Hugs, (((Mumto5))). It must be a horrible feeling if it's driving you to search through bins.


Pigpen, that tie is utterly atrocious - good call. The very first time I went on holiday with OH I wandered into the bathroom and came back out saying, 'Someone's left a hideous pink and yellow tie on the towel rack. Must have been the previous occupant.' Oh silly me. Still, he's never worn it in my company. Probably something I said ....


Bonnie said her office was PARTLY DONE. Ditto.


Your Mission, Honey Bear is to Deep Clean the office bookshelves. This message will self-destruct in 10 seconds. (That was Mission Impossible, wasn't it? That'd be about right.)
