embb Hugs. Hope you feel better soon. Not good if it's affecting your health and sleep.


Not posted much this week as I've been really busy and feeling quite tired. Ive dropped a day at the hospital and feel better for doing that.

Flying wise. The bathroom and living room are done. Will look at lists later to see what I can do. Off to town this morning as DD needs a new computer. So will see if any bargains around.

Dusty Hugs.

Hugs,spoons, sticks and get well vibes where needed.

Morning all

Hugs and happy weekend wishes to all. Slept a little better (when I awaken I now do an imaginary walk around th town centre trying to remember the order of all the shops and realise I am not very observant).

DS3 is having a snowboarding lesson thsi morning, DH taking him but I may go along too and watch.

I want to find a new knitting project, just a little one as I am very slow. I may do a few jobs in the garden.

Flying- finish the bathroom, hoover and mop the floors, wash school uniform, do the ironing.

Morning all, Dusty you sound a bit more positive which is good.

So, I have to take DS1 to the opticians to get his new glasses, take a parcel to the post office, do some paid work, and the house is a complete tip.

Looks like another weekend not getting any down time. Sigh.

Best get on with it then!

Hello again. So far today I've done the menu plan for the week (not difficult as I'm not here for 4 out of the 7 days!), made the mini apple pies (3 didn't look that great to serve up, so I've just eaten those with a cuppa), changed our bedding, hoovered downstairs, put new laces in my walking boots and put the clothes on the airer away.

Next job is to get the recycling/composting/rubbish out, get a jacket potato in the oven for my lunch later and walk the dogs.

Anyone else read that as 'Pets baking in the aga' or just me?

Love the scarf Mrs MP. It's absolutely beautiful. I simply don't know how you do it all. Please look after yourself, won't you and have a (((hug))) or (((three))).

Hugely well done LW on the flying front. *impressed*

Another person who thinks that Scumtander are ****. I can calculate a percentage perfectly well, and when the interest paid doesn't match the calculation after a one year deposit rate agreed over the phone (so no proof), that's the last time I use that bank. I'd already had a cheque-y-poo as compensation for a previous complaint so I have no reason to think their customer service is worth diddley-squat.

Flying here minimal but sufficient. We went on a 6km walk on Dartmoor yesterday led by an archeologist and I loved every moment of it, with the exception of about one second. I got my right leg soaked right up to the knee leaping across a leat about 10 minutes into the five hour trek, and even that was 100% okay because the accompanying Dartmoor Guide said 'Oh don't worry about that, it's so warm your foot will soon dry out.' I totally beleived him even though my foot and trouser leg were still sodden hours later. The whole thing was absolute bliss from the first moment to the last - the weather was far from perfect - overcast, foggy mist, rain, etc etc but it just felt fabulous and I now see Dartmoor in a completely new way. We're so lucky to live so close to Dartmoor and in a such a fabulous place and have such amazing people to help us understand it. Sorry about all that - I just had to share.

Rubbish/composting/recycling all put in the right bins, dogs walked. Potato not quite cooked yet, so I'm having a cuppa. It's actually a lovely day albeit a bit windy, so I've got my bedding on the line.

Another job to add to list, might do it while potato is finishing, and that is to sew up my kitchen curtains. The hem is coming undone, but I can't get them down myself, so will have to do in situ.

Hugs, sticks, vibes and spoons to all. I have read the thread but being pestered by DD means I've forgotten stuff

Lots to do today. DD is home and has spent the day so far playing on her games while watching TV. Me, I've spent the day reading on here, giving DD solutions for her games and watching TV. The WM/TD are both on, and the new fridge freezer is cooling as I decided to give it a good 24 hours before switching on. Hopefully it'll be cool enough soon that I can swap stuff over.

Going to move myself and tidy up the livingroom. Lots of clutter that needs putting away Cleaning can come later while DD is out at her friends party
