YORKSHIRELASS

Morning everyone, lots of paid stuff today, sigh. Also doctors appointment later this aft. I washed the kitchen floor last night just because it was so filthy!

We have had a light dusting of snow here, hope there wont be any more.

Well done on the bathroom Pigpen. My tiles could do with a good scrub but that might have to wait until next week.

Morning all
Hope everyone is well
Welcome to the new fly ladies
Iona strong growing posi vibes for little Anna, I understand how you are all feeling as we were there with my brothers twins, Birmingham children's hospital was fantastic and I admire all staff who are so caring and positive. Lola will be 4 this year you'd never know looking at her now she was a tiny little prem of 27 weeks. If you need any little things knitting I have lots of prem patterns.
Got to go with mil for her warfarin check this morning, woke up to a slight covering of snow so hope we get there and back with no slips or falls.
Get well and recovering vibes for all who need those.
I'll do the kitchen once I'm back.

Hello everyone. Thanks for the thread Natty.

So so day yesterday training for my voluntary job. The horse piddle rang and cancelled DH's operation for the 3rd time. It's now 26th Feb. DH forgot to take DS3 to his asthma check appointment. The little ones were excited about my birthday.

The plan for today is to do both lots of paid work. Then I'm heading up to L0ndon. DH is buying me dinner and a gift. I'm so tired I'd rather go to bed early!

I need to iron DD2 a school shirt.....

Morning


Well done on weight loss Bossy. I made free houmous last night ready for today - rather garlicky but tastes good!
Iona posi vibes for baby Anna.
Dusty - hope Mum continues to improve now she's at home.
Kaz hope your thumb is OK and you managed to get the spashback clean - I gave up on chip pans years ago as can't get afford to get burnt but chips never taste the same any other way really.


Plan for today is finish prepping free food for SW, vol job at class.

Do a Pigpen on the bathroom - though I may not use my loo brush to clean the tiles as I bought a new microfibre cleaning cloth this weekend!;)


Piggers - the ch shop at which I volunteer does collections so if you don't want to keep your donations around for 4 weeks they would be happy to collect - or are you collecting together to see how much you donate in one go?


Managed to clear one frog phone call yesterday so today hope to do two!!


Have a good day everyone. x

We had a good weekend away for my sister's birthday, but we were completely cream crackered when we got back. And yesterday was manic with work, voluntary job and Lifelong learning class in the evening..

February Meal Plan

A friend is coming over later for me to verify her passport application photos, whilst looking for mine realised that I had not posted DH's application last October. It must have got put away when I was at my worst with BD, so that's two things to sort, especially as we are hoping to go away for a week in May.:mad: at myself, but :j that friend asked otherwise might not have realised.

Have a good day all
Stay safe those who have snow

mrs-moneypenny

Trying to snow again here, just heading out.
I've decluttered the boys floors, there's a huge pile on the landing that will be binned once they've had the chance to retrieve needed items from it.
See you later.

Oh meant to say glad your mums home dusty, I hope she's comfortable and making a good recovery.

I can't get in the bath to reach the higher tiles with a cloth.. so, I mop the tiles and then rinse with the shower and then scrub the soapy marks off the lower tiles with the loo brush.. it is very effective and saves loads of effort.. I need to mop the ceiling too but my hands couldn't cope at the moment so it will have to wait, I do need to scrape off loose paint up there and repaint the entire bathroom.. hhhmm.... I have the paint already... Oh Mr Piggers..


Chazzer stuff I have a friend who is manageress at BHF CS and she arranges collections, tells me a day and I race about trying to get loads together.. last time she told the collection guy there was 'a couple of bags' so he was expecting carriers.. not 9 binbags and a large box!

Dentist for OH later.. must wash nest.. it is vile, I couldn't do it over the weekend with a lurky migraine type thing.. and yesterday I didn't get chance.. had to go out with a hat on so it is a bit desperado!


I have... waved goodbye to my slippers They gave up their innards and I nearly broke my usher falling over it.. so I have new ones which are depressing me..

Cuppa then.. hair wash and bath smalls and get appliances on.. gammon in SC and then opticians..

Oh!, I needed to make Tiddles another dentist appointment.. I'll do that in a second once I've rang school to tell them splurky lurky in the back room has been barfing! ... just gross and no need!

Dustykitten
