    Yay I've eaten a frog, written up notes from a meeting in November, as next meeting in tomorrow! Took longer than if I'd done them straight after the meeting, I will tomorrow but I would have had to reread all the stuff for tomorrow anyhow.

    Welcome back MMM and Rebekah.

    (((Hugs))) to CY, dancemum and Jazee's OldDog.
    Well done bossy and Master Moo :T :T

    I was doing OK with my list until mid-afternoon when I suddenly went very tired and shivery - usually signs of an impending migraine - but managed to stave it off by sleeping for 2.5 hours, consequently I haven't managed to do any gardening today.

    Old Wives Group tonight was fun, but the speaker took an entirely different subject from the one we had expected :rotfl:

    Tomorrow is another day.... and another weigh-in :eek:
    Good night all x

    Internet playing silly b's this eve so may lose this. Who'd live in a rural area?
    Couple of students today, bit of a gap between them so fitted in a C0sta and a load of surveys; I'm way behind. Managed to drop into gym on way home and have a short (I daren't say quick) swim. Feel better for it as determined to be in better shape before we go away at the end of April.
    Watered and checked seeds in greenhouse. Inspected pond for frog spawn as Mr N saw "cuddling frogs" (he's so polite) a few days ago, but nothing yet. Fed/watered all conservatory plants. Pruned a few plants.
    Put away clothes in bedroom - thought I did that yesterday (and the day before, and the day before….).
    Ordered Mr N's next sick note (still part time for next few weeks) , posted a letter then stopped off to check out a possible new car on the way to dinner at carvery with friend.
    Sorted out paperwork for tomorrow's students.

    Best wishes and speedy recovery to all you sickies, human and canine.

    Morning all. I have a little more time this morning to fly as I cancelled an early call, but I'll be going off list and tackling the LR.

    I hope everyone has a great day or at least better than what got dealt yesterday.

    Thanks for all the good wishes for OldDog, please keep everything crossed that her bloods come back ok today.

    Morning everyone

    Hugs to CY and Dancemum. Hope all other poorlies are on the mend. Thanks for the kind words I dont know what I would do without you. I think I need some of Narco's books.

    I decided to clean the car inside and out yesterday. It is not a job that I like doing but it was disgusting so I was pleased when it was done. And so lovely to get into a clean car to go to the gym last night!

    So yesterday was paid stuff, dog walking, car cleaning, tea cooking, gym, supermarket, laundry sorting, homework helping, then bed.

    I have just hung 2 loads of washing out this morning and I am off to see if there is another load to go in. Must do some paid stuff on job no. 2 today - after the paid stuff on job no. 1.

    Have a good Tuesday all x
  • Morning everyone - we're back - very late last night as left DS late and went to DSGF on way home to meet the puppy!! She is so beautiful and bitey!


    Bossy well done
    CY and Dancemum Sending you both posi-vibes
    JAzee fingers crossed.


    Had lovely weekend - far too much food and drink but due to the long walks it doesn't seem to have had an impact on my weight - will find out in about an hour!!


    Today need to clear the hall of the car contents and start washing. Luckily it was a lovely day on Friday in Dustyland so we washed DS bedding and line dried it as we are not sure when we'll be back down again. We must previously have had the longest distance wash/iron service in the country!!!


    Then I am meeting D Sis and D B-I-L for coffee and to give their cards and then baking - for Museum coffee morning tomorrow and ndn ds16th party tomorrow night. Back to reality with a vengeance!


    Luckily the house was in its best ever condition when we left so shouldn't take long to sort. DS flat looking good as all pictures are up and more quotes now awaited for work needed so that it becomes more homely and we can clear some of his "stuff" from here too!


    Welcome to newbies and returners and thanks for lists Dusty and Natty. I'll make sure I do my me time this week!
    Have a great day. x

    Good morning.

    Had a good walk yesterday which I enjoyed. Even if it was blowing a hoolie on top of Northumberlandia.

    When I got I vacuumed through the house.
    Bathroom was mostly done on Sunday.
    Voluntary job today so will try and get a bit done before I go.

    Welcome to RebekahR and MMM
    Hugs for CY, dancemum and Jazees old dog.
