    Been for a hair cut :)

    Then for a coffee with my pregnant niece :)

    Washed and dried largest sofa throw. Am doing one a day until they are all done.

    Dailies done

    Aunt Flo still missing since July so went chemist just in case. No shocks so should probably head to gps. Have received a call up letter for a old age health check so maybe will kill two birds and all that.
  • Hello fly-ladies and gents, I think I've been missing in action since aboutb2012, so I'm creeping back in quietly because I miss the lists :rotfl:

    Dd1 having grommets put in tomorrow so i have a few days off work with her, hoping to get at least some washing done.

    Dw was out of a action for a fortnight and now it's fixed I think it was cleaner and tidier kitchen wise without it! Might go back to old school washing up :)

  • Thank you everyone for your support, glad I have sanctuary here....it's certainly made for a more positive day since my post earlier.

    Freebies scavenged today......a boot full of freshly hacked tree ready to dry off - going to trade with Nice NDN for equal amount of dry wood for log burner for when cold weather hits. A big builder's bucket of free rhubarb, a cereal container of blackberries, a margarine tub of sloes, and a yogurt pot of rosehips (for HM rosehip syrup for icecream) 4 smallish sized Persimmons, 8 free range eggs acquired from Nice NDN in exchange for dinner for chickens and a good cereal box full of scraps for compost.

    Been to Dr's got my pills to send AF on a short vacation in time for Friday and give me two weeks break to re-cooperate after surgery. When I have my next meds review with my Nice Lady GP, I have been told provided I have no side effects from this scrip I might be able to evict AF every month from now on once she has out-stayed her welcome, things will be sooo much easier once the breeding bag is all sorted and my jaws function as they should.

    Flying, dinner cooked and scoffed, I hoovered my BR floor and tidied main bathroom while young Skints played in bath and that is it, as my mouth is cut to shreds from the extra hooks horsepiddle installed. DD3 has set DW and S&S after dinner.

    Mount Foldmore is staring at me, but I will see about getting on with that tomorrow once DS is at big school for the afternoon.

    Right, time for some R&R then shut eye before I drop the lappie! nighty night flyladies and flygents :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Morning all

    Just getting DS3 away to school and loading WM. Min plan for today is to go to IK£A with DS2, getting there with the uni stuf.

    I want to get another bed stripped and washed today, a little ironing, more financial paperwork and a couple of phone calls.

    Have a good day flyers.

  • Morning all, didn't get in until 10 last night so it was supper and bed for all. Today isn't going to be much better with painting, phone calls, school collecting, football and OH left till an airsoft shoot. Upside is while we wait on OH we'll hit the play park. So I should have very tired kids tonight.


    Roll on Thursday and Friday, I have my niece both days so i'll get a good bit of flying done before the weekend.


    Big hugs Skinty, chin up things will get better.
