  • Hi - quick update whilst awaiting the Mr T order.


    Thanks Iona - - I am unable to rest as it is much better if I keep moving!! I seize up otherwise.


    So far today have kondo'd (?sp) the under sink cupboard and the spare stash of cleaning stuff in the laundry room - so they are altogether. Should make it easier to see what is needed when doing shopping lists. I also did a double wall unit in the kitchen and my sewing box. Why do I have a sew on Red Arrows aerobatic team badge in there?!


    HHI
    Tidied the lounge well
    Sorted some books to lend to D Sis
    HH chat to D Sis as it looks as if we won't get our walk today.
    2 loads of washing - now drying
    Made leek and potato soup for lunch - yum
    Scrubbed shower tray.


    Just about to do another HHI. It looks as if I am on a roll - for the first time for ages!


    Catch up later. x

    Good afternoon, I am just going to update my list and then see what else I can get done today.

    Monday
    Sort through a pile of paperwork
    Do work on PTES surveys
    Clean the upstairs bathroom
    Phone and book some horsey time for dd
    Look into the price of summer houses, (me and dh have decided that I need to get a work space, as 1. I need to get more organised and 2. I need somewhere that I can escape from the kids and get work completed.)
    Collect the kids from childminders
    Get new shoes for dd

    Hiya everyone and a warm welcome to new peoples and returners :hello:
    HB - glad to hear the good news about your dog settling in well

    Have managed to freeze most of the cooking done over the week-end. The last lot - beef casserole in ale - is still in the slow-cooker but should be finished in a couple of hours and I will then squeeze that in as well (3 x 2 portions).

    Done most of today's list as below

    Killer Kitchen - Monday
    Mop the floor
    Empty and clean out the fridge.. including the drain hole bit at the back..

    Just decluttering a cup of tea and then I'll finish WUDUPA and wash the floor.
    Salmon, asparagus, saut! pots and hollandaise sauce for dinner so quite a 'clean' meal - thank goodness.

    Hugs all round

    HB .. so pleased you have furry love filling your home once more :D

    Right.. quacks.. we saw Dr Scared.. I always want to shout boo at him to see if it will make him cry he is tiny and so quiet and timid.. he's very nice though. Referral sent for physio for Tiddles and referral to community Paed for Dot.. I ended up pinning her down in the waiting room, she was crawling under the chairs trying to bite peoples ankles and drooling and shrieking at the top of her voice. We shall speak to nursery tomorrow. Please let there be a reason for her lunacy not just that she is a loon!! She spent about 20 minutes licking a window yesterday.. I left her to it, she wasn't harming anyone :p .. the spitting is driving me utterly insane!

    Jazee lovely pic of OldDog.:o

    Natty sounds like life's been giving you grief - please don't apologise for just posting lists and not chatting, you've done grand to get the lists posted, with the other carp you've been dealing with. Hoping your woofer continues to make progress - healing on way.

    Dys0n Tango done; some masking tape removed from kitchen (not all, as some needs to stay in place for now); Shepherd Spy constructed for today's and tomorrow's dins; entire bungalow checked for anything to go in the recycling bag, which goes out tomorrow morning; patio swept; washing done, hung out, brought in dry.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Thanks. Needless to say, the internet has kept a perfect connection today...........I went through all the diagnostics and it didn't find anything amiss.

    Glad new dog is settling in well.

    Today I have:
    *checked all windows accessible for measuring, which involved further tidying of study.
    *vacuumed all rooms downstairs then emptied vacuum
    *mopped kitchen floor and the door that goes through to the garage - it looked as if it had been sprayed with tea!
    *done a bit of my course
    *had phone chat with my brother re. work and holiday
    *picked rhubarb to try making those muffins later
    *planted out slug-chewed runner beans in the hope they will recover. Ditto last few mange-tout
    *cycled to each end of village to deliver letters
    *booked a course to attend in June
    *pulled out a few weeds
    *watered greenhouse

    Am about to go and sit by pond with a book. The water level is still high so the puncture repair seems to have worked. I saw 12 newts just now; all at the same time so it wasn't just one hyperactive one.

    Hope doc comes up with solution Pigpen
