DD1 and DH dispatched to tip, cups and bedside table collection. Honestly it is like seeing off a teenager. I don't mean DD.
Just waiting on the arrival of the friend of DD2 and then get going on the painting.0 -
Oh dear. Friend is ill and cancelled. Onwards and upwards!0

Wow you're steaming ahead with progress and have really made the most of half term. Our half term starts today! Great news on the booking, hope it leads to many more. I hadn't realised your eldest was mid teens, assumed they were all fairly little like mine!
Are you hoping to finish the decorating this weekend? I am extravagant as I dislike it so much and have a decorator!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -
Happy half term Cath!
Yes we HAVE to finish the painting and my aim is to dress the room and take photos tomorrow as well as taking DD1 to a rally.
I still have to danish oil the woodwork.
Bought a chest of drawers for £20 so have all furniture now, just need some coathangers and toiletries. Farmer Phil is here topping the fields that Plops hasn't mowed.0 -
I am so whupped! DH finished his bit of painting then mowed the grass. I am not sure I'll stay awake through strictly.
Tonight is my alcoholic swansong until Christmas. I need to lose weight and I'm not getting anywhere.0 -
I also need to lose weight. But I'm already an alcohol free zone, so it isn't that. Hmmm. Maybe I simply eat too much...!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0

'Interesting', huh? :rotfl:I just don't like the taste! Beer is out as it contains gluten, red wine makes me grimace (always good for a giggle when we have communion at church!). I will down a baileys at cmas, or a hot toddy (dh's recipe) if I am super ill.
Tea is like red wine - I simply cannot drink it, even to be polite. And I stoppd coffee just after last cmas.
So I'm down to Corporation Pop. Go me!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -
Good luck with the rally! Hope it goes well.
We will be starting a health kick next week until Christmas. OH wants to stop eating any refined sugar, so we shall see how well that goes...0
