  • Hi - quick catch up as back from lovely lunch and as the number on the scales wasn't as bad as I feared I have decluttered my half of the remaining said coffee and hazelnut butterfly buns - very yummy - note to self don't make too often!!!!!


    Have a few letters to address then post and must do more washing then HHI. Not promising to catch up with the lists as I feel rather "out of it" today too. Hope you improve Nicki.


    Enjoy your evening everyone. x

    It's going to be a lovely summer with all our Flyfriends around - and I, for one, will definitely need cheering on from the sidelines, so sterling work you're doing there Cycling! Much appreciated!
    Washing left on maiden in front of open window today. due to depressing forecast.

    Valli, I'm glad you call it a maiden too! I had a big 'discussion' with my friend from the East Midlands who thought I'd gone mad when I called it that :rotfl: Glad it's definitely a thing! Must be a northern thing (are you a fellow northener?) :p

    Afternoon all

    Just spent an hour and a half doing the garden. Any tips on removing rose bushes? I need a new fence (actually it's next door's fence but the landlord is not forthcoming) and the rose bushes are in the way.

    Swapping lounge for the kitchen today as I have a woodburner being fitted tomorrow.

    Just off to Ald! I love that it's my local shop.

    deco, to remove rose bushes, I suggest a man and a large spade and dig out and move to a new place, or a female and a large spade............
    or if you have access, and just want them gone, tie a rope around the bush and the other end around you tow bar on the car, start the car and drive forward slowly,................you do understand I have never tried this :o:o:D get it out and loose.:rotfl:

    FFP still sitting on landing surrounded by books, I ve taken 20 off the bookcase to donate to the CS and rearranged the keepers but I've only done my pleasure reading shelf, the house is stuffed full of books but they aren't all mine.
    I have stopped for food with Dh but carried on when he went back to work.
    Going into the attic ow as I need to get something down and have found some stuff to go up.

    Quick update - not doing too bad at all. The next two to three hours will be taken up with sorting food for us all (including tomorrow's tea, because I won't have time), getting DS1 off to work and eating. I'll also carry on with laundry, but the other jobs will have to wait until later. .

    It doesn't look like such a lot, but once I got going the list in my bullet journal grew steadily and I've done a few jobs 'off piste' as a result.
