We'll be washing up by hand for a while. OH has had an attack of the vapours.

Best tell OH that the more practice the better the job and to take it easy to start and do it little and often to keep it under control for the first week or so :rotfl:


Found some garlicky onion and tomato soup in the 'soup box' in the freezer so a quick defrost, added half a tin of rinsed mixed beans and heated. Cooked a couple of those part-baked wm rolls in the micro and yummed !!


Work cancelled again :eek: So I am off for a walk to some of the High Street jobs whilst have the chance.

Sorry to hear about your kitten Vanilla xx

Hello to newbies and returners.

I am going to attempt a bit later, as I've just got back from work, but I feel awful - splitting headache that I can't shake off. GOing to fetch the kids now which will make my head feel much better, I'm sure :rotfl:

Mummyof5 hope your school run wasn't as bad as feared :hug:

Lovely ducks Ionafan :T

Must have cross-posted.


Sorry to hear you not feeling well - hope you soon feel better. Maybe a cuppa and sit-down with your feet UP for ten mins would help eh

I have been so rude, Vanilla sorry to hear you have lost your kitten and Pigpen I hope your cat comes back soon. I am a dog person and could not imagine losing our pup.

Just under the kitchen sink to go, if I am not back in one hour please send a search party:rotfl:

I am back from the kitchen cupboard, does anyone need washing up liquid, we have 9 bottles so why can we never find it? Oh well no cleaning stuff to buy for the foreseeable.

Thanks for the tip about buying one gift today.I always buy my daughter- in-law a calendar as an extra and bought a lovely Monet one for her today.As my Grandson is doing Art GCSE it should be popular.Had computer lesson this afternoon so no flying yet.Cooking dinner next.

No cat come back..


I foresee some door knocking going on.. that'll be fun.. 5 out of my 6 neighbours immediate are polish and the rest of the street are from various other parts of the world.. English is definitely not the first language down my street and while I love cultural diversity and the opportunities and experiences it brings to my family it makes it very difficult communicating anything!!

Lost my mojo today, ive done bits and pieces and been to work for an hour, popped to the butchers and set the tea away. Hauled myself upstairs and stripped my bed then couldnt find the clean stuff, so come all the way back downstairs and found it at the bottom of my unironed ironing pile *sigh* its all screwed up and now I cba to iron it then go back up and put it on.

Got a bonfire and fireworks display to go to tonight, its the best ever, set in woods, and they have home made soup, pity its flipping raining lol soooo anyway, thats what were all doing tonight.

Main bedroom I'm sticking to a short list, but Done!

Very tired today, so I did what needed to be done and have left it. Just need to replace bed linen.

Some paperwork has been decluttered, as I can do that from the sofa.
Just about to have a cup of tea, then may sort out a few bits for Oxfam.

Vanilla I agree with the others, you gave kitten love and care.
Pigpen Hope you find your cat.

Hi all

Gods, I'm late on today; netbook has been having a hissy fit, and I've spent far too much time trying to get it to play nicely.:cool: Now doing a complete cleanup/scan, and I'm on the pc. Not happy, as I don't like sitting up at the desk to type. A bit of thread catch-up is in order, methinks....

Mummyyof5 re the mobility scooter – hold your head high and ignore any stares or comments. I get a few funny looks walking the dogs on mine, specially as nowadays I have the dogs lead attached to my belt, but I just take no notice; if they don't like it, tough, it's what I need to do to keep doing the dogsitting. Best of luck, mate.:o
Cattysmum welcome.:beer:
Piggers I'm so sorry to hear that Noel's time for rainbow bridge has come. Safe journey wishes for him. Reading your later posts today, I do wonder if he's taken himself off somewhere private.:(

Englishrose how annoying re the dog poo. I get really cross at owners who won't clean up after their dog – believe me, it's horrid in a wheelchair; if it gets on your wheels, it invariably gets on hands and sleeves as well if you're self-propelling.:mad:

Vanilla I am so sorry to hear about the wee kitten.:( I feel bad that I didn't know about it til now, so wasn't able to send healing; at least the little mite knew some love in it's short life.

Due to the naughty netbook, I've got not a lot done today; have made a Shepherd Spy for tonight's and tomorrow's dins though (I shan't feel like cooking tomorrow) and also a choccie mousse to use up the unpasteurised cream we had left from doing Sunday's quiche, so Mr LW will be a happy hubby tonight.:D

I love all the ducks!

I put a dishwasher wanted ad on gumtr33 and someone less than a mile away has one she wants to get rid of, so that's looking good. Unfortunately OH is really busy and needs the car, so it'll have to wait until Friday. I've dusted off the Marigolds for him in the meantime.

My 15 item list is now nine items, and one of those has to be done tonight, so that's better. I definitely under-estimate how much I need to do and the time each item will take which is why I always seem to be playing catch-up.
