    Morning all

    Feeling a bit grim as I've woken up with a sore throat.

    I think Mum will be sent home today and I hope my Sis can do the collecting from hospital bit.

    Flying - I must clean the bathroom and DH can hoover and mop downstairs.

    Other important tasks, paperwork and apple freezing.

    Have a good day all.

  • Morning everyone

    Pigpen that's stunning. And thanks for the tip about blinds, we need one for the kitchen. Our nearest Ik@ea is about 50 miles away but I might shop about. Like Dancemum we have one from the catalogue shop that has lasted years but its good to know they are not what they used to be.

    DS has footie this aft. Not sure what else today brings.

    Take care Dusty. Glad your Mum is better and hope your sister can collect her so you dont have to.

    YL .. we have Tesco ones too which are also metal poles and you can collect free from the store! I do prefer the Tesco ones, they run more smoothly.

    8 items listed on ebay.. 6 sales to package.. I'm flinging!!!!

    Morning.

    I managed to do the jigsaw yesterday but as it took me most of the afternoon I didn't get much else done. Went for an early night as I was fighting to stay awake, and then managed a lie in this morning as well. So apart from being stiff due to so long in bed I'm ready to get on and tackle the day.

    Personal (week):
    Laundry (dark bedding, light bedding x2, towels, dog,)
    Ironing
    Accounts
    Dailies:Beds, dishes, laundry load, S&S kitchen, S&S bathroom, dog walk
    HGP jobs
    Clean front of the house
    Sort dehumidifiers for bathroom and DD bedroom
    Shredding - :(
    Stuff to charity shop (See photo for opening times) - half way there
    Nag DD over arrangements going away - Pending text on Thursday
    Plan bake sale stuff (twinks, chocolate cakes, cupcakes) including packaging (used foil trays last time and they never came home despite me asking for them back! so I want stuff I don't mind disappearing.

    Magical Monday - Barnacled Bathroom and Sociable Study/Pc Area
    Level Three...
    Delete 10 links in your favourites which you no longer use or are dead!

    Tantalising Tuesday ~ Masterful Master Bedroom
    Level One...

    Check fire alarms are working - Need to change the batteries but have misplaced the new ones :mad:

    Wishful Wednesday ~ those frightening kids rooms
    - DD's job.
    Level Three..

    Strip beds and replace with fresh linen .. check if duvets need freshening up too!! Sunday job

    Tantalising Thursday ~ Kooking Kitchen
    Level Three...
    Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer filters need to be done too!!

    Friday ~ Luscious Living Room

    Level Three...
    Put up linings or winter curtains to keep out those draughts.

    I think I'm going to go kick DD out of bed. She still has homework to do and I'd like her to get showered etc early so I can get the laundry done. :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Can't keep up with Fred at the moment. I've just been landed with 40kgs of apples. Does anyone know how to find local groups on Facebook? I've appealled for jars on Gumtree but apparently I'm more likely to have success on F'book Groups but I don't know how to find local ones!

    Two loads of washing on line in the hope of at least 'lightening' them as my mum calls it.
    DW emptied - almost - work teaspoons have now had two runs and they are still eww (stained) so they have moved in there pro tem!
    Am making excellent progress in the DR. Woot!

    Go to your Facebook home page. On the left hand side there is a GROUPS option. Click on that. Then, along the top there are options - click on local groups.

    This does, of course, assume your location is known to Facebook.

    Interesting, Valli. Apparently F'ook doesn't know where I am. Hmmm. Sorry - forgot to say thanks, so 'Thank You.'
