congratulations mrs moneypenny :j:j he sounds gorgeous, what a weight!

honeybear hope the dogs settle soon. they are two lovely breeds.

this week I have done the bedroom, bathroom, dining room and lounge...they aren't perfect but they are clean and tidy.

I am reading "testament of youth" for my book group and it is soooo long - I must get some more read today

I also need to do some ironing and tackle the spare room...better get moving!

Think it's going to be outdoor flying after lunch. So far:
* went to mobile library
* went to gym; 4th day running but don't fear, I'm back to work next Tues!
* packaged up some empty printer cartridges to post to recycle
*picked up anything on bedroom floor which should be elsewhere

Afternoon all!

Sorry to hear about the car, mummyroys
Hope the dogs are settling down, HB
How nice to have found a new cousin, Dusty!
Have you been to the hospital yet, lynnejk?

So far today I have
- prepared breakfast and DH's packed lunch
- taken DH out early to play on the steam railway all day (= one happy bunny)
- shopped at Sainsbugs for bits that I can't get at @1d!
- updated pass book at Bank 1
- updated pass book and opened new cash ISA at Bank 2
- looked at clothes and things in a couple of shops but didn't buy anything :money:
- drew a blank re the things I thought I could get at Bee and Queue
- found a really helpful assistant at the garden centre who told me where to find what I need at Bee and Queue (so I'll go back this evening)
- spotted the robins' nest on a bookshelf inside the garden centre! Last year they nested in a watering can hanging on a display stand, but the staff have changed the shop displays round this year, so the robins had to move house
- unpacked and put away
- drunk coffee
- written [STRIKE]3[/STRIKE] 4 emails and made 2 phonecalls
- updated the charity website with the new logo *at last* - there is one very tiny problem which I have tried and tried to solve, but it is wasting ridiculous amounts of time and mental energy, so I am now studiously ignoring it and hoping that nobody will notice Otherwise it is looking good :j

Lunch now, then out to finish the shopping at @1d! and maybe do some bits of gardening before I have to go and fetch DH. See you all later x

Honey_Bear

Thanks for all of the calming down vibes for the dogs.

ionafan

Very very sad for you, HB. I know you want to do the best for the dogs.

juliejim

Sorry to hear that HB but I'm sure the right dog will be along.

mrs-moneypenny

Honeybear, I'm so sorry things haven't worked out. I can see you've tried so very hard to make it work. Hugs to you and I hope the right situation for you all comes along soon.
