    I'm not sure which is worse. The fact that I've not been cleaning the shower room Mr Nifter has been using exclusively for the past three weeks or that the shower itself didn't actually need cleaning. Which would explain why there's a very individual niff coming from his room again. I don't know that I can stand him for another seven weeks after he's due to return from a week away.
    Better is good enough.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm definitely having another quiet day here :rotfl:I caught up on my utube subscriptions I wanted to watch, then decided to have a go at making something from l00mbands DD asked me to make last night. It went so well until the last band but I've bodged a solution to that so it should be okay. She doesn't know I was doing it so I've just put it in the box, then put them all away again ;):rotfl:

    All the washing is now done except stuff which I need to do tomorrow. All the "to iron" stuff is on the maiden in the kitchen near the TD which has got all the non-iron stuff in it ;) I think 30min should do both lots more or less dry! If not, whats still damp can stay out there as I'll be putting the oven on for pizzas soon so it'll stay hotter out there ;)

    I'm hungry again so I'm going to go and clear out the fridge while I look to see what we need to get from Mr A tomorrow. I already know we need fruit, more cooked ham and more cheese! :mad: Just remembered I have beetroot in there..wonder if DD wants a go at cooking them tonight? She'll panic about them staining but I have disposable gloves she can wear ;)

    Monday

    Sort to-do list for the DIY, - virtually done, just a couple of things left to do.
    Write priority DIY shopping list (livingroom, lining paper) - sort of done. Having to recalculate some things.
    Dust

    Tuesday:)


    Wednesday
    :)

    Thursday:)

    Friday
    Clear magazine pile 1 from January I've nearly finished, another from Feb, then the rest are from May onwards :o

    Saturday
    [STRIKE]Laundry (darks & lights) [/STRIKE]
    Anything else not done
    Tea - Pizza & garlic bread followed by a night in front of the TV :D

    Right, off to attack the fridge. I may be some time :eek: :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!

    Sort out your makeup bag - gunky mascara anyone?
    Got an hour...
    Drag everything out from under the bed and have a good clean under there
    Give yourself a rest - you deserve it.

    Nothing under the bed (drawers)but I have thoroughly dusted and vacuumed, having first changed the vacuum bag.
    I have also sorted out the heap of stuff so it's now exclusively all for car booting later in the summer. Evwerything else has been homed, or placed tidily. Shoes retrieved from all over and boxed and put away. That was probably the worst room.

    It's stopped raining and brightened up so the wahing is on the line.:T

    Oh dear. Doesn't sound too good._pale_ I think I'd be burning incense in there on a daily basis - I can't stand pongy peeps. "Eau de Wet Dog" is fine, but "Unwashed Human" - Yeuch!!!:eek: *gulp* And in this heat too.....:eek::eek::eek:_pale__pale__pale_ *THUD as Wolfy passes out in sympathy*

    Hello ladies, thank you for all your vibes and good wishes. Dds's lovely BF aka Ginge has spent the day in theatre. He still hasn't woken up probably due to the pain relieving medication. I visited Ginge today and he looks very poorly. I hope I never have to see anyone I care about in the same scenario.

    We were supposed to go on holiday today. DH has taken Ds1, 2 and 3 and DD2 to the west country. I hope to follow in a few days when Ginge is out of H D U. And talking to us.

    MIL has been flying here today. My washing has been brought in and ironed. DW was set off and unpacked. FIL walked and fed coco. I'm so lucky to have such supportive in-laws.

    They often keep very very poorly patients heavily sedated to give the injured body time to heal and hopefully once they wake they are in less pain... He is still with you, that is a good sign, the first 24 hours is often the make or break time.. sending light to heal him xx

    Almost there with the packing.

    Foot no better, but no worse so that is good. DS1's bite is now as bad as mine, good job I've got him on ABs too.

    If I don't get on tomorrow before I go be very good to Natty and my supply leader. I should be able to snoop on you all.

    Mumto5 you and yours will remain in my thoughts x
