    Morning flyladies, it's quiet on here this morning. Hugs to all where needed.

    Lovely pics Piggers, glad you're having a great time with Ben LW.

    I'm happy with what I've achieved around the paid stuff this week, seemed almost ahead of myself at times!

    Anyway to today:

    Dailies
    Pop to shops for wedding paper and dog wormer
    DO MY HAIR (my hair is wild and sticks up in all manner of directions, so this morning I'm going to straighten it so I don't look awful at the wedding)
    Planting - got delivery of pansies this week so they MUST go out today.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all :wave:

    MMM However did you achieve all that in a day? :T

    CY Glad you are back with us.

    I had to take my computer in for a service yesterday when it squeaked and squawked at me :mad: and I'm limited to my k!nd1€ for the thread, so I won't be typing long posts for the next few days. (Do I hear sighs of relief?) Today was set aside for uninterrupted reaching, as DH is playing on the railway, but he has said that I may use his computer so I must take up his offer while the PC is standing idle. Fortunately I had managed to save everything onto the external drive so can work from that, phew!

    I have
    - folded and put away washing
    - emptied bins
    - s&s'd kitchen and bathroom
    - Fed DGS4's cake

    CAtch up later. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks as needed x

    Morning all, have to let you all know I have achieved something. It may not be a big thing to some but it's an achievement for me at the moment :D I have just hoovered all the way through downstairs and the stairs and landing :D I'm feeling really pleased with myself, especially as the carpet now looks like it hasn't got another dog growing on it :p

    Thank you Iona for your pm's regarding the declutter list. I promise I abide by the pms :D

    Have had an unexpected offer to go out to lunch today with my 23yr old niece and her siblings. She is looking after them while their parents are in Borneo for the week. Although I think she needs me for wheels as there are 7 kids, plus a toddler, to ferry and she only has a 5 seater. She said for the wheels she would pay for my dinner :D Nice unexpected surprise :D

    Bear had his appointment at the vets on Friday, unfortunately the dog bite wound is taking a long time to heal so he is on yet another 10 day course of antibiotics :( Bless him he's also on Tramadol for his arthritis.. poor lamb. But the good news is he doesn't have to go back for another 5 weeks, unless something happens, because it looks like his kidney pills are working :D And he absolutely loves his belly band, we now have a collection of them..almost one for every day of the week :D

    Well I better have a shower and hang the washing on the midden otherwise I won't be ready to go out later..lol

    Hugs and spoons to everyone xxxx

    .

    piggers Pixie is getting too big far too quickly. She's an absolute stunner x


    Just rude isn't it?? They should NOT be allowed to grow up this quickly!!

    Tesco order to be done before we all starve to death.. apparently tuna is the food of the week!


    DD2 did her first pub shift last night so OH collected her I went to bed.. I was dead.. you'd think they would have a lift sorted for the staff so they aren't walking home alone at nearly 1am.. she is just 18, 5ft1 and 7 stone.. what chance would she have against anyone?? It isn't like she is a trained ninja or anything!

    Must do washing.. though I can barely walk! I am in agony today.. and OH can feed the DW

    Evening all x

    I have been back to teaching today. :)
    DH has brought the washing in and finished the ironing x

    House henried
    Nap decluttered. I'm getting a bit old to be jumping up and down after 6 weeks off.

    House is ok but does really need me to do more flying once ds2 is back at school on Monday.

    I take ds1 to uni on the 19th so he needs to get organised too.

    Hey, oh pigpen, the worst chore, I still need to do mine but don't hVs anywhere near as many as im sure you do!

    Well I have done some flying, made a giant cupcake, work tops, DW, washing machine, hoovering, put toys away, tidied bedrooms.

    Littlies are poorly though, can't say it's been the best birthday ever, spent most of it dealing with pooey, whingey children!
