bunbun2

I have been working on the dining room extension today aka the r o d well one of them! I have decluttered quite a bit and put stuff in boxes to sort through at a leter date. The drum kit used with the wii is off to the CS. I went to bed last night with the lurgy and woke up this morning feeling not much better so it has been a slow day with lots of stops and cups of tea.

get well wishes to dusty's mum and pigpen

narcolepsy we bought ds1(16) a turntable for his last birthday and OH and I still have all out old LPs. Ds1 thinks most of them are so embarassing.

mrs moneypenny I hope your ds has enjoyed the monopoly trail. it sounds fun. our ds2 has been to a scout event called "frostie 24". We dropped him off at 9.15 yesterday morning and he was picked up at 10.45 today. The idea is that they do all the normal scouting activities that they would do at camp but stay awake the whole time. They had a few hours at midnight at a bowling/lazer quaser place. He arrived home at 11.15, went to bed and we haven't seen him since

elastic money We have all sorts of things like that in our loft too

Sounds like they wore your DS out bunbun but I'm sure he will have had a brill time, mine is back and said it was good but they had a job finding the shard! He said they could see it but kept getting the wrong tube station so ever got near, he did do a good turn while there, he nipped in a shop and used the elf service tills person before him had left their bank card in the slot along with their receipt so he handed them in to customer service. He's come back hungry so rustling up a mushroom omelette for his supper now.
Did anyone watch sat well for less we missed it in the week so just caught the repeat, was pretty much everything that said on mse don't be a brand snob cook from scratch and look for bargains. Interesting to watch and act as a reminder, couldn't believe how much that family spent on food. About £350 a week they said!!!

Elasticmoney glad it's not just me who hoards old course notes. I think I got rid of some of my degree stuff last year and I graduated in 1982............biology has pretty much moved on since then. ....


Had a FB message from horse's 'new' owner; he has met all his new friends (she has 6 other horses) so he will be happy; he's very playful.

So glad to hear the decluttered horse is happy!


Speaking of old course notes, when I threw out all of my degree notes I thought I'd chucked out my essays as well, and there was one in particular that I really regretted getting rid of, which (to be political) was about the writing of what became known as the Iraq dossier. (It was a linguistics essay, and the essay was about how the dossier was constructed - who had a hand in what it said, how it was written, why it said what it said and the way it said it.) Months, if not a year later, I found it again, along with all the other essays and I am so glad I've still got it. I am one of the people who is very much looking forward to the Chilcott Enquiry report because I want to know how correct my interpretation of events was.


I have decided this weekend that the next two things that have to go are my poetry books and the shoes that I bought three or four years ago in America. It's a bit Kondo-ish, but not. I can't be doing with all that folding and rolling but categories sort of works for me sometimes.

Hi all

Feel quite pleased with myself as I have managed a quick swish, swipe and hoover through the whole house. All dry washing is ironed (if it needed it) and put away. Another load to go out in the morning.

Spreadsheets finished for job no. 2 and sent in to head office, but there will be more to do tomorrow. An early night calls I think.

Oh and my car is in the garage tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed that its not too expensive. My car celebrates its 10th birthday soon!!

Evening all.

I've just read 3 pages but I'm afraid nothing gas stuck my eyes are too tired.

Tidying has been done all around and lots of beds remade, little bodies bathed and big one showered done quite a bit of cooking today as I wasn't organised for lunches last week so I have hm quiche and picnic eggs in the fridge.

DD and I bought a tray of 15 eggs on Friday and there is two left :eek: but we did make brownies yesterday with lots of separated eggs whisked up and I used 6 for the quiche and 3 for picnic eggs too.

Kids bedding is in WM ready to flick on tomorrow and mine is in a pile on the spare room floor. Gotta love a clean bed on a Sunday night.

Was going to S&S bathrooms today but never got round to it as I was in the garage a lot this morning. Tis rather lovely again and desk has been wiped and reorganised, with some random carp decluttered and a new 4-way socket for all my contraptions now in place. Individual switches :T

I have two pushchairs and my youngest child is nearly 4 and a half! Once the worst of the frost is over in a month or so (famous last words, we had snow at Easter 2yrs ago!) I will ditch the big, heavy one. I only keep it because the other doesn't have a hood so can't use a rain cover, and DD was shattered on Friday she was barely awake getting DS to school after out late panto night Thursday. But we'll keep the lightweight one in case she is ever poorly and of course for holidays they are really handy. Just taking up room in my lovely garage!

I'm just rambling now - apologies...

Right, I'll go dry my hair.

Not achieved much today. I have mopped the kitchen floor and been to the "Golden Woggle Awards" for our scouting district. One of my cubs won "Cub of the year" and I was so proud!
Still trying to decide if we are going to keep Buster. DH not happy at present as he feels he has had to interrupt his weekend to dog sit. He forgets that A: Lily would be here anyway and B: I have to do the same all week long! Pah. I think he'll be staying as he and Lily love each other!

Evening all,

I can't believe I got on before new thread has been posted.
Had a really good day today. This morning we have all been for a run. I was so proud of ds1 (6yrs). He did his mile and a half time trial. (Kids should be 8 officially but he is there so has joined in the last few. Anyway, he knocked two mins off his time! I kept telling him he had gone off too fast but he kept it up all the way round. Anyway got back and boys had a long play in the bath. We all had lunch together and then we all chipped in and did an hour of jobs. Finally got master bedroom done! Then hubby got scaletrix out and the three of them played on that while I sorted the loft out. Looks so much better and all stuff has been put away! Also sorted some cloth g out. Not have two bin bags for cs! Productive day.

Night all. See you on the new thread!

Flyladies, what do you do with the curtain strings to stop them dangling down? I don't seem to have the knack of making them stay tidily out of the way an there's probably a very simple solution that I haven't discovered yet.

Honey Bear - if you haven't chopped them all off yet you can get little plain key-rings and wind them through a hook space about 10 inches from the edge of the curtain. Then just feed the dangling cords through it IYSWIM. It's easy then to just pull them back out and untie them for washing and you can just remove the ring. Hth
