Crossed off whats done

Really cross today as dragged myself to Hallamshire hospital with Ds2 (excema clinic) to be told it had been cancelled...Would have been nice to be informed :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Managed to pick up a couple of more pressies so not a totally wasted journey

In all day tomorrow so hope to achieve a little more

Having a few fireworks tomorrow night so OH has just cooked a chilli,my eyes are burning lol...I dont even like it!!!

Going to school tomorrow afternoon with DD2...will be first time I have used my mobility scooter to do school run and Im not looking forward to all the stares and questions:(:(
Will be ok after a couple of times but...

Have also managed to put up new curtains in main bedroom but OH doesnt like them as they are shorter than he likes...so will need to look around for same colour but longer pair.

Everything crossed for the kitty...poor little thing xx

Bossymoo..we are hoping to take LOs to a garden centre after school towards the end of the month...they love seeing the displays etc...OH will hate it lol...he doesnt like garden centres as he says they are too overpriced...he was a professional gardener a long time ago...you wouldnt think so to look at our garden but he did it for other people for so long that he hates gardening now xxx

Hello everyone, I cant believe I have not read this thread before now, Im at work at the minute (work nights, week on week off) and have spent the last hour or so reading from beginning of the thread and trying to get the hang of the abbreviations. Think I have my head round it now and would like to join in if that is ok. It is quite difficult for me to get into a cleaning routine because of the shifts I work, when Im on nights I dont get up till about 13:30 then I tend to just potter around in the afternoon because OH has done majority of regular chores, he is retired and does not mind a bit of housework. When on my week off, I run around like a mad woman trying to get all stuff done that I didnt do on my work week... I need some organisation in my life!!!! I may not have time to post every day but I am going to carry on reading and lurking this week and join in next week, oh my I have so many frogs to eat (ps love that phrase) Looking forward to getting organised.

Three little ducks, all ready for the off!


The pattern that I mentioned earlier says to put in a running stitch to narrow the chick's neck, but I don't think that's necessary for ducks. I just added stuffing and then put a running stitch in to gather up the opening in the base - this automatically makes a nice rounded duck shape, and the beak also works well (a rectangle of felt with rounded corners, stitched across the centre, then folded and sewn just at the folded corners to keep the beak shut).

Very pleased with my recycling and I hope the people who find them enjoy them and read the stories on the project website. According to the map on the website, the place where I shall release them does not have any previous finds.

I've found an odd ball of yellow wool so I'll make some more when I have time.

Here I am again, after a few months of not feeling good so not much flying done. I have managed to do a fair bit, for me that is, today. I would like to follow my own list for a few weeks until I can take control of the house a little. I am de-cluttering all sorts to the charity shop and just trying to make things simpler.
Today I have


taken youngest dd to work
walked dog
loaded car for charity shop
wm x2 including my mums bedding
dwx1
Cleaned thoroughly round 2/3rds of living room, 1 settee vacc'd, all furniture pulled out, carpet vac'd, polished and dusted in said area
Washed hall carpet with vax
made dinner
Hoping to complete living room tomorrow, won't be perfect but neither am I. Then will move into kitchen for the de-clutter!
Hugs, sticks and spoons to all

Evening all, DD did really well last night and got a 1st and 2nd. :j
Today it has been one thing or another. Found a kitten down at MIL's .... Hoping it picks up soon, it's just moving every so often but not much. So lots of positive thoughts needed flyladies if you can spare.

Well done for your DD :dance: :dance:
and positive thoughts for the kitty - hope it recovers

My cat is off over rainbow bridge tomorrow I think.. he has become much more unwell this evening and it is time to let him go. DS1 wants to come with us. He is his cat, or was I guess.. so that should be fun. DD1 also wants to come say goodbye to him and she is doing nothing but wail at the moment as it is.. I see a fun filled day!


I restarted MOL's cardy.. I decided a bigger size was required so pulled it all out... I have done 18 rows!

Bed time for me once I have done the 1000 things I just thought of!


Kitty vibes heading over for Vanilla's addition!

Sorry to hear about your cat pigpen. Hope you managed to get to bed at a decent hour.

I will return with a list but am going to try and get a few bits done while 2 eldest are sleeping. Cold morning today, I've put my heating on for the first time !!

Oh dear, lots of cat-aclysms going on

Well I've been awake a while but kiddies still snoozing so I'm just enjoying the peace. Will have a shower soon. Awoke thinking it was Thursday lol so bit disappointed to realise I'm working today.

I need to tidy the conservatory as we will watch the fireworks from there later. A busy night forecast as we also have DD swimming lesson x
