  • Hello everyone,

    Please can I join in? I have just returned from a weekend away where we have been staying with some relatives. There house was so lovely and it made me realise how far I have let our house slide. I could never invite them here. Also I am going back to work soon so I would like to get on top of it all again before then.

    Happy Birthday dizzy xxx hope you have a great day!


    I have an evil job today:( I have 15 reports from another division that are partially merging with ours and I need to recommend what happens to them:( some are over 20pages long and one has in excess of 200 measures! My first question is "who actually reads these?" Talk about wasted resource! Now it's wasting mine...
    Gah. Coffee and sugar will be required...

  • Morning all - is there room for a returner, please? I looked back and it is over two weeks since I was last looking at the thread so no chance I'll catch up with all those pages!! So hugs sticks stones and GWS vibes to all needing them and welcome to all newbies.


    RL got in the way of everything - but I managed to do some sorting yesterday afternoon so feel a little better. Today I am waiting for the boiler to be repaired - so may just have to sort papers in the meantime. Will catch up as soon as it is mended - no hot water so a bit of a " B!"

  • *healing vibes* for whatever it is that ails Scruffy Bear, Natty, and (((hugs))) for you. I think a conversation with your own vet today is in order if you haven't phoned them already.

    Happy birthday Dizzy!

    Welcome back JTTOU and welcome, NoMoneyMe. You'll be amazed at how quickly you see a big difference if you just nibble at it every day.

    Catch up day here. Things are falling apart a bit but fortunately most of it's pretty superficial and the sun has FINALLY come out so I can get the soggy cushions back outside. I need them dry by tomorrow night.
    Better is good enough.

    I'm back again after a snooze :naughty: and feel energised! Thanks for all the birthday wishes ladies and welcome to NoMoneyMe and JTTOU (lovely to see you back - sorry the last few weeks have been tough)

    Another HHI nailed, another WM and TD round on and now off to put some of it away and fling some unwanted items. Gradually I am becoming able to let go of things that I've kept hold of for too long. I seem to be in a better place since we moved and that's a real plus :D
  • Natty I've just seen your Facebook post. (((Hugs))) for both you and Dave.
    Better is good enough.
