Mrs MP - So sorry for your loss ((hug))
Ionafan - coping vibes being sent!
Went to Mr A, spent £19 on grocery bits and £8 on ink for the printer :eek: No reduced stuff except for some C-word cake cases that I've put away ready for the bake sale they'll no doubt have againThen went to C0-0p and picked up some reduced bits to help pad out tomorrows tea & some 'posh' (aka wensleydale with apricot or cranberries) cheese which is good until February!
I've spent the last 2 hours trying to sync my diaries up. Its all very confusing, but I think I'm done, except for the next academic year, and work in December as things get juggled then anyway.
Tomorrow I have work, and I need to fix my backgate. I need to take a saw to it as its over expanded again so I had to remove the thin section of tongue & grove on one edge to get it to shut! I'm just hoping its secure enough over night :eek: Tomorrow I shall raid my DIY supplies and see what I can do to fix itI'm sure I've got something I can use in my "could prove useful" box :rotfl:

Morning all.
Got the bedroom done yesterday and the dailies. Bedding washed and on airers.
Decluttered 2lb at SW. I was pleased about that.
Today it's lunch and shopping with DD. Then at my voluntary job later.
Hugs,spoons and sticks where needed.0 -
Morning everyone - have decided I can't get on without you all!
Have now come down with a rotten cold - thanks DH - but as he said what could I expect cooped up with him in the car for 5 hours - I suppose he could have dropped me off to walk home but then I'd still be on my way home now LOL!
Read back quickly - thinking of you and your friend and her son Iona.
Been moving things about in order to tackle my "frog" permanently this year. I now have most of our paperwork in a spare bedroom so that it can be left where it is to be done another day. Will light the log burner tonight in order to burn the paperwork I have saved for shredding. What is it about shredders that they jam so regularly!
Going to spend the day at home as aching all over and do not want to pass it on at vol job. May just start my next knitting project!
Plan is to run the hoover around the house and do HHI to get rid of the bedding that I brought home from DS. I love the feeling of having an empty ironing basket so think I'll add that to my weekly challenge. It didn't ever happen when DS was at home though!!
Have a good day and hugs sticks and spoons where needed. xJuly 16 £95/£200
Nov 16 £0/£200

Morning all
DD out to school early as she wanted to go to the £shop. But apparently there's a big queue every morning so she wanted to get there for 8am when they opened :rotfl: She then text me disappointed that she couldn't get exactly what she wanted, but got something similar that will do for now, so I've said as long as the weather is okay I'll take her to town on Saturday for what she wants.
Beds are made, bedrooms are tidy, back gate unlocked so the workmen can get the rest of the wood easily, washing up done and tray ready for the work men. Now I'm ready to start my work day as soon as I've finished my coffee while I check email etc.:wave:

Sorry for my absence this week - DH is on his 3rd day off sick, I feel pretty rubbish and am trying to support DD2 who is working through this horrendous bug as she has been granted 3 days off next week for her B/F's graduation.
I see that several people are having tough times - hugs to all who need them.
right - off to get dressed (that tells me everything I need to know about my health - I am never in my nightwear at 9am.):jFlylady and proud of it:j0
