Hi all x
My new job went fine last night. It's only the till that is bothering me it's a touch screen and has about a million different menus! Once I crack that it will be all good.
Managed to square up the LR and Scullery before I left and make dinner. I'm hoping to do the same tonight.
Love, hugs, sticks and spoons to all those in need xxx

:eek: You mean some of you don't iron tea towels? :eek:
Ironing is my secret OCD. *whispers* I even iron socks, pants, flannel and mattress protectors :embarasse BUT only when no-one is looking. Urgh, the thought of wrinkled linen touching my teacups *shudder*
Just had a monumental nap with Tiny. Small was watching TV curled up next to us. Good job I was a busy bee this morning! Chimneys all swept by the lovely sweep who uncovered what the previous owners had boarded over. It's a truly magnificent, HUGE chimney, two storeys high and crying out for restoration :j0 -
Well I'm in Dizzy's Gang
Anyhoo am half way round the boudoir but have had a break as DD took me to lunch (feel treated) and then been to have haircut. No longer resemble Dougal (see Magic Roundabout - although Dylan might be closer to what it was).Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
