    Evening all. Right, lets try to remember everything -
    Hope CY gets her new kitchen
    Dusty - hope the car is not expensive
    Frizzle - enjoy the peace and quiet
    LW - hope injection goes ok tomorrow
    Piggers - gentle vibes for doggy
    Bossy enjoy the wine and 18 days off, you lucky thing

    And sorry I can't remember anything else.

    Now I know that on Monday I promised Bossy that I would do my best with flying this week, but I've only really kept on top of the dailies and cleaned some windows.

    Tomorrow will be ironing before the paid stuff and Friday will be paperwork because it's pay day.

    Hope to be lurking tomorrow.

    Evening all,

    So,.. I have unpacked 5 boxes of books and laid them out in the living room. Hubby gets home from work, takes one glance and says I need all of them! He was then busy tonight so they are still laying on the living room floor. I thought laying them out would make us do something with them! I have a feeling there won't be many I can get rid of although I have got rid of the duplicates so that'd a few!

    Anyway, still feeling a little achey but no lasting damage!!

    Left on my list...

    Do a HHI X6!!!!!!
    Put the books away!

  • Frizzle - sympathise - we still have all DH's books from his degree. He graduated 30 years ago. They are all out of date, he hasn't looked at them in years. DD1 admitted if they were taken into the CS they would be recycled.

    I will admit that I have discarded some over the years, but the majority are in a drawer under our bed.

    Decluttered some blood at the hospital and spent an enjoyable hour or so at DD1'S flat. It is lovely, if an odd layout due to being a conversion...

    Tomorrow is chemo day. Whether or not I manage to post will depend on which seat in which room I get. WiFi is not guaranteed....

    Morning all
    Drizzly overnight but sun is showing its face now so hopefully more washing dry.
    Composed a couple of letters with Dh last night that need emailing off this morning.
    Hugs good wishes posi vibes sticks and spoons to all who need/want them.
    Ds2 is up and ready well eTing his breakfast, his school starts back today.

    Valli, thinking of you today we've been to a couple of funerals that were dh's school mates (in his year!) kinda makes you think. Make the most of every day and do what you enjoy.

    Dh took a load of wood to work for their wood skip - they have a burner so he's allowed. It's cleared the drive a bit.
    Made me laugh that he commented on how nice the throws looked on mils armchairs, she looked blank and said "oh your missus must have been round to clean then" if she hadn't noticed them I bet I'll be asked to clean all the windows again at the weekend. I did her cleaning while she was at the cinema otherwise she frets and try's to follow me round saying she should be doing it.

    Didn't fit the HHI in yesterday as board was still in garage from my patch working stint last week but it's all back in house now so I'll do that today.

    Have a good day all
